TRANSLATION OF THE QUR’AAN

T Qur’aan, the final Prophet (r), the language of man, people revealed whom

God
the
of
language
the
among
he was raised and by whom the last message was destined to be carried to the
ends of the world. Allaah created man in a variety of colors and taught man
diverse languages. Allaah, Most Wise, sent each of His messengers speaking the
language of his people in order to facilitate the transmission of the divine
message. This was clearly stated in the verse:

( ÏmÏBöqs% Èb$|¡Î=Î/ žwÎ) @Aqߙ§‘ `ÏB $uZù=y™ö‘r& !$tBur )
1
“I never sent a messenger with other than his people’s language.”

Consequently, all prophets were raised up from among their own people, even
though they all carried the same basic message:

(#qç7Ï^tGô_$#ur ©!$# (#r߉ç6ôã$# Âcr& »wqߙ§‘ 7p¨Bé& Èe@à2 ’Îû $uZ÷Wyèt/ ô‰s)s9ur )

( |Nqäó»©Ü9$#

“Verily, I have raised up in every nation a messenger saying:
2
‘Worship Allaah and avoid false gods.’ ”
