KUR'ÂN NEDEN ARAPÇA İNDİRİLDİ? (Gerekçeler ve Amaçlar Üzerine Bir Deneme).

It was most natural and reasonable that the Holy Quran has been descended Arabic for the Messenger was being Arab. The Message should be in his own tongue, that he might explain it in every detail, with the greatest power and eloquence. Even though it was to be for the whole world, its initial exposition was thus to be in Arabic. Now when the Qur'an is being sent down in their own tongue so that they may understand it, they raise the objection: why has it been sent down to an Arab in Arabic? But if it had been sent down in foreign tongue, these very people would have said, ‘How strange! An Arab Messenger has been sent to the Arabs, but the Revelations being sent to him are in a tongue which is neither understood by him nor by his people.’ [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
