THE WORD OF GOD.

“THE WORDS OF GOD”

To pronounce words we use our mouth, tongue and vocal cords to make sound. God is above all these human organs. God does not speak through words or scripts. God’s language is through signs, frequencies and vibrations which cannot be heard through external ears but felt, experienced and revealed upon the sensing heart.

To confine the every-living message of God in words, books, stone tablets, leafs or in pages is an act of blasphemy. The message of God or the presence of God is everywhere (2:115); we just need to have conscious vision to grasp its essence (6:103-104).  

There are no favorite or sacred languages of God. Aramaic, Classical Arabic, Biblical Hebrew, Sanskrit, Classical Chinese are local languages of the people of those times. God’s language is universal. God is above genders and languages. We laymen use genders and various languages to describe God; a phenomenal Energy which cannot be inferred only by our five senses.

We fight over linguistics, grammar, pronunciations to understand the message of God, but sadly God cannot be found by mere five senses. We ignore heart, mind and other cognitive abilities.

In Quranic terms the communication of God is always through an inspiration (wahi) revealed (nazil) upon thinking individuals in their own mother tongue or universally understood language without linguistic skills (arbiyan). Man chooses language just as medium to convey the message he received from his own conscience and consciousness. In Quranic term such knowledge or guidance is called ilmi laduni in Islamic terminology (18:65) (20:99). Readers can also refer verses 3:8, 3:38, and 27:7. This guidance / knowledge is not dependent on references from books but direct without any intermediaries.

God does not have any specific sacred language. Books are not written by God. The message is directly inspired by God; written, read and studied by men. 

The emergences of all languages are result of human necessity to communicate with other human beings. To understand the inspired message it must be written by scribes. And moreover we must also have thorough understanding of those old languages and their style of constructing a narrative.

We cannot understand old Arabic vocabularies with the help of Modern Standard Arabic Dictionaries. 

God's words are not language based, they are signs (ayaats) revealed to chosen ones who makes an effort to think out of box. These inspired signs are later written by those who know how to write.

Having said that, only knowing the roots of the language is not sufficient we need to understand the position / sequence of the context too. Context is the King while deciding the root of the word during the translation of any old scripture. 

Silence is the language of God, inspired men convert it in the speech of their community. If we need to understand God's word we need to understand the written script of those times. God does not speak in words.

 

QURANIC ARABIC IS A ROOT WORD LANGUAGE. 

Roots are important part of etymology to infer the depth of meaning of the words.

The Quranic language is in old Arabic therefore it is not easy to find roots of some words, but once the root is found it becomes more easy to deduce and reach the essence of the meaning and the message.

Necessity to communicate in a better way facilitates the process to articulate the language in a refine manner. Very often context also helps to infer the content if our deduction of words are proper.

The evolution of all the language is a continuous process, those languages that do not evolve die. 

To understand an old scripture we need to go to it's original narrative format of that time. All the old scriptures are written in figurative depiction personified in symbolic language, such written format in religion is called theophany.
