Quran is Arabic word and its origin in Arabic language.
Quran is Arabic word and its origin in arabic.
Yes, the word Qur’ān (قُرْآن) is an Arabic word, and its origin is firmly rooted in the Arabic language — both linguistically and etymologically.
🔹 Word: قُرْآن
✅ Linguistic Origin:
The word قُرْآن comes from the root: ق-ر-أ (q-r-ʾ)
Which means: to read, to recite, to collect, to gather
🔸 Two major interpretations among scholars:
1. Qur’ān as a masdar (verbal noun) on the pattern of فُعْلان (fuʿlān)
Like: غُفْرَان (forgiveness), سُلْطَان (authority)
So, قُرْآن would mean: "recitation" or "something that is read/recited"
➡️ This is supported by:
-
Qur’an 75:17–18
"إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ"
Indeed, upon Us is its collection and its recitation.
2. Qur’ān as a proper noun (a unique name for the final revelation)
-
Some linguists and scholars like Ibn Faris say it originally means “collection” or “gathering” — since the Qur’an gathers meanings, laws, wisdom, and history.
-
Others say it is not derived, but rather a unique term given by Allah, like "Torah" or "Injeel".
✅ Other related Arabic words:
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| قَرَأَ | to read / recite |
| قِرَاءَة | reading, recitation |
| تِلاَوَة | recitation (more melodic) |
🔹 Qur’ān describes itself as Arabic:
"إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ"
"Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an so that you may understand."
— Surah Az-Zukhruf (43:3)
This confirms that:
-
The word "Qur'an" is Arabic
-
The text itself is in Arabic
-
It was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in clear Arabic language
🔚 Conclusion:
-
"Qur’an" (قُرْآن) is an Arabic word, rooted in the Arabic triliteral root ق-ر-أ, meaning to recite.
-
It is either:
-
A verbal noun meaning recitation, or
-
A proper name assigned by Allah with a deep linguistic base.
