Linguistic Concerns
In this section, we will look at the Arabic of these two false verses to show further evidence that the Arabic utilized by these authors does not corroborate with the rest of the Quran and instead forms numerous contradictions. Since the Quran is written in perfect Arabic, if these two verses are part of the whole, then there shouldn’t be any inconsistencies in the Arabic between these two verses and the rest of the Quran, but as we will see, this is not the case.
26:192 This is a revelation from the Lord of the universe. وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنْزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ 26:193 The Honest Spirit (Gabriel) came down with it. نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ 26:194 To reveal it into your heart, that you may be one of the warners. عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنْذِرِينَ 26:195 In a perfect Arabic tongue. بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُبِينٍ
The best source to understand the meanings of the Arabic words of the Quran is by using the Quran itself. This may seem counterintuitive, but this is one of the fascinating aspects of the Quran, and we can use the Quran’s text to decipher meanings and understandings of the Quran. While a person can use Classical Arabic sources, similar to a dictionary, to understand the range of meanings of a root, these derivative meanings should never be used in contradiction to how the words are used in the Quran. A better approach is to understand the word and then see how it is applied in the Quran. As many Arabic roots have many meanings, it is important that we select the proper meaning for how it is used throughout the Quran. A guaranteed way to misunderstand the meaning of the Quran and lead ourselves astray is to treat the Arabic Quran as a sort of mad lib where meanings are arbitrarily selected from derivative root meanings despite how the word and root are used throughout the Quran. Meanings should never be applied carte blanche without investigating how the root is used throughout the Quran so that no contradictions are made. This is particularly true for words and roots used numerous times throughout the Quran and consistently with the same meaning or context. If all of a sudden, a different meaning is applied in a single instance that is at odds with all the other uses of that word in the Quran, then this should cause a flag to be raised and an investigation to understand the discrepancy.
