The Role of Classical Arabic and How Arabs Came Into Grammar

The distinction of the Classical Qur'anic Arabic from all other human languages is that Allah used the Arab people as the soil out of which a special language was grown. He did it like a scientist creating a special substance in his laboratory.  We know that since 1877, scientists have relied on the Petri dish to grow, or culture, cells in the laboratory for distinct purposes.  Similarly, Allah grew the original Arabic language in the pre-islamic Arab Culture. The original Arabic language was grown specifically to be the vessel for the last revelation of Allah.

 

Never the less I hasten to say that this is not a feather in the cap of Arabs in general.  In fact because Classical or Quranic Arabic is not "the language in use" for social communication  in Arab countries, scholars of linguistics call Classical or Quranic Arabic a "Dead Language".
