The favor of the Holy Qur’an is known by who knew the Arab’s language in introducing the sciences of language, Arabic and rhetoric, and in dealing with the Arab’s poems, speeches and features, in their strength points and messages; That is where people knew the interesting benefits of the science of Qur’an.

The Arabic language is considered on of the Semitic languages (which are the languages of the Fertile Crescent ancient civilization) and one of the most widely-spread languages around the world, as it is the first civilized and most ancient language in the world.

Mustafa Sadeq Al-Rafai said: ((إن اللغة مظهر من مظاهر التاريخ، والتاريخ صفة الأمة. كيفما قلّبت أمر اللغة من حيث اتصالها بتاريخ الأمة واتصال الأمة بها-وجدتها الصفة الثابتة التي لا تزول إلا بزوال الجنسية وانسلاخ الأمة من تاريخها)).
