Why Didn't The Language Of Koran Stop Their Progress
Here, there is an urgent sign as our enemies and those who are captivated by the outward appearance of the western life are contended to attack and disparage the Arabic language. We say that this book which was the constitution of our good ancestors' lives, their absolute master and upon which the prescription of life at this utopia in good Teiba (Medina) depended, this book which organized this wonderful life was revealed in Arabic. The words of Allah in the book of cures for organizing the life of mankind was in Arabic and by Arabic they originated the practical, scientific, social and political renaissance which prevailed everywhere.
There are countless examples, e.g.:
- The breakthrough of medicine in Europe was founded and relied upon the book of Al-Kanoon by Ibn Sina and the book of Al-Hawy in medicine by Al-Razy.
- The first inventor for the surgical tools was Ibn Zahr in Andalus (Spain), he invented and drew the surgical tools which were used in different surgeries at his time and showed how they were made and this was in Arabic.
- And so Ibn Al-Beitar, he wrote a book about all the known plants at his time, in it he mentioned how they were planted, how to deduce the best species, the diseases they cure and how they are used
- The book of Al-Hayawan by Al-Demeiry is one of the worldwide references in this science, it was also in Arabic.
These and others confirm the creative abilities of the Arabic language, the language of the Koran. By the testimony of non-Arabs, it has the most vocabulary and it has the most derivative, it also masters and affects other languages. These are clear known facts. Why medicine and other practical sciences aren't taught in our universities in Arabic, and we think that our language can't undertake these idioms and phrases.
This is the result of our weakness, we think that worshipping Allah means to mutter, glorify Allah and recite the book of Allah and we left the enemies of Allah break in and control all fields, then the most painful thing for us is that they ascribed our retardation to this religion and said that the secret of Muslims' backwardness is the Koran, Islam and the Arabic language, the language of the Koran and the prophet of Islam. God forbids, the default is from Muslims who made the Koran a book for negative worship not positive worship as our ancestors did.
We don't say that Islam fight learning foreign languages, this is a great mistake in understanding the religion, but learning such languages is sometimes obligatory when it is needed, there is a practical example for that:
When the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) wanted to send his delegates to the nearby kings, he decided at his headquarters to send six messages to the nearby kings, he asked each one of those who will carry those messages to learn the language of the country where he is going to very quickly and said to them what means:
"Whoever learns the language of a nation, he is safe from their cunning."
When he realized they took the divine diploma in talking these worldly languages , in one morning, he sent them all:
- A man went to Ash'Shaam (Syria).
- A man went to Persia.
- A man went to Ethiopia.
- A man went to Egypt.
- A man went to Yemen.
- And a man went to Oman.
Every one of them was mastering the language of the country where he is going to more than its people, this was our prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) concerning learning languages when the nation needs ambassadors or to found the principles for international relations.
If we are talking about how Islam deals with other languages and we mentioned this story, but the quick and immediate response of the prophet's companions to his commands has another indication: Our ancestors won and preceded all the others by following the instructions and applying the commands, despite apparent or hidden difficulties, this didn't occupy them but they sharpened their determinations and used the possible potentialities without any doubt or lagging behind but faithfully and sincerely, so Allah achieved their aims even if they are over the clouds. But our conditions nowadays regarding following the cure prescription and the recommendations of the master of doctors (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), we say Wala Hawla Wala Kowata Illa Bellah.
