According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the Quran's explicit and repeated declaration of being 'revealed in Arabic' is a cornerstone of its theological identity. This attribute signifies far more than the linguistic medium of the revelation. As Ibn Kathir explains, the choice of Arabic was a divine wisdom, being the language of the final Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his people, making the message unequivocally clear and establishing a proof against them. Al-Tabari's linguistic analysis of phrases like 'lisanin 'arabiyyin mubin' (a clear Arabic tongue) highlights that the language itself is a miracle—perfect in its eloquence, clarity, and precision. This synthesis across verses like 12:2 and 26:195 establishes that the Arabic nature of the Quran is integral to its inimitability (I'jaz), its role as clear guidance, and its preservation. Consequently, there is a universal scholarly consensus that only the Arabic text is the verbatim Word of Allah; translations are indispensable aids but are considered interpretations of its meaning.
