Linguistic Rules
Main
Points
The Arabic language:
* Language
is a well controlled discipline stemming from the human mind as inspired by
Allah.
* It
is incumbent on every Muslim to excel in the Arabic language in order to
correctly understand the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
* The
Arabic language is highly honored since:
a)
Allah, the Ever-Knowing and Ever-Wise, chose Arabic to be the language in which
His final message was revealed.
b)
The main proof of this revelation is its linguistic miracle.
c)
Allah, the Almighty, preserved His Book in its original Arabic text.
d) Allah has revealed the Holy Qur’an in Arabic so
that the people who received it first, Arab as they were, could apprehend it.

rules for the linguistic analysis and comprehension of the Arabic texts of the
Qur'an and Hadith.
* These rules should be strictly applied
for deriving any legal ruling.
