But then you go one to say it’s the name of the deity... as if it’s made up... monotheistic non Muslim Arabs (funny because I say ‘non Muslim’, but in technicality that’s wrong because Muslim means submitter in Arabic, and nothing more, it’s not the name of a follower, it’s just a label for something or someone that submits, but since non believers don’t believe in Quran, they simultaneously attribute Arabic words to mean things limited to a religion, supposedly the religion of Islam. When in reality, when you read the Quran, and the Quran only, and you obey it, it doesn’t make you follow a religion, it just makes you follow God. Religions are man made, man made traditions passed down from each other. And if you ever see religion translated in the Quran, it doesn’t mean religion. It means ‘in debt’ and its referring to ‘the debt’, which is the most important debt anyone has, the debt towards God. Just like how Muslim means nothing more than submitter, and it means just submitter, but when using the word, it is most of the time used in a format where we understand they are ‘Muslim to God’ ‘ in submission to God’)

Also Arabic didn't come from Aramaic or Hebrew, they all came from proto Central Semitic so they are all related. It's like saying Spanish came from French or vice versa.

Semitic Languages Grouping: Eastern > Akkadian (Babylonian and Assyrian) North Western > Canaanite (North - Ugaritic / South - Hebrew, Phoenician & Others) Aramaic (Samaritan, Nabatean, Mandaean, Syriac and others) South Western > Arabic (Ancient Arabic & Classical) Ethiopian (Amharic) Therefore, Arabic and Aramaic are ifrom two separate groupings, besides Arabic Conservatively retained their Consonants and Phonology then Aramaic and Hebrew ARMAIC $ HEBREW - אבגד הוז חטי כלמנ סעפצ קרשת ARABIC - أبجد هوز حطي كلمن سعفص قرشت ثخذ ضظغ As can be seen Arabic retains 6 more letters that has been lost in Aramaic and Hebre languages , for e.g, they use ש for three different Arabic letters س ش ث and צ for 2 Arabic ص ض so on and so forth, therefore for some Semitic words they have lost the actual sound and pronunciation of those letters because it was represented by only one letter, so when other nations adapted Judaism and Christianity they couldn’t able tell the difference as how to differentiate those letters, whereas in Arabic, since they were very conservative about their language and its phonology and Consonants, they retain their phonology and consonants throughout centuries, that is the reason Arabic is still remain in its pure and original form. Not only that, thanks to Arabic language and its grammar, it helped other dead Semitic languages like Aramaic, Hebrew and Syriac to revive back once again.

It depends the sound J is not found in ancient Hebrew, Yemenite Jews adapted that sound from Arabic. It depends on which language you compare Arabic is closer phonetically to ancient Hebrew dialects than Modern Hebrew, but modern Aramaic is probably still closer to ancient Aramaic phonetically than Arabic. All is very relative to the language you trying to compare to it, it's not wrong your statement but it's so simplistic and does not care for important details.

[@anyaforger8409]

My response is the Jews at the time of Jesus spoke Koine Greek when communicating to the Romans and Greek is the Lingua Franca of Europe this was also enforced on Eastern possessions of Ancient Rome. As the result, it did not only Hellenized Jews (Saint Paul is a Jew who wrote in Koine Greek) but it also largely replaced the Hebrew Torah with Septuagint (Greek Translated Torah) among Jews.

There's a great video from an Israeli on historian on how Jesus was most likely using Hebrew when speaking to his disciples. Just search Israeli historian Jesus spoke Hebrew. In the time of Jesus Hebrew was still the language of the Torah and used as a liturgical language. Aramaic was the language of the common speak and Greek the language of the administration. We know Romans used local administration in far flung provinces and the government was based in Damascus and through Alexander the great the entire region had become very Hellenized so its possible Jesus knew Greek.

[@Far7anR]

To Nick John: Moustafa stated that Islamic scholarship is aware of Aramaic and it's place in the Abrahamic faiths. The reason why both Moustafa and your Arabic expert at university did not comment on the Syriac-Aramaic influence on the Qur'an is simply because such influence is not recognized by the majority of Arabic and Qur'anic scholarship, both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars. You cannot just watch a video on KZbin and assume that it is factual. You should probably trust the experts and scholars over KZbinrs and sensationalist documentaries. You can see my own comment to this video for more details.

[@nickjohn2051]

Well thank you for the comment. I based my comment on my own anecdotal experience in my university. Im in STEM program, but I did occasionally talk to friends in Islamic Studies. Well most of them dont even recognize the Syriac-Aramaic influence in the Quran. Most of them truly believe that Quran only in classical arabic language. And I had to agree with them as the Quran itself was clear about it. The Quran stated that it was written in Arab language in few verses. >The reason why both Moustafa and your Arabic expert at university did not comment on the Syriac-Aramaic influence on the Qur'an is simply because such influence is not recognized by the majority of Arabic and Qur'anic scholarship, both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars. I agree. But the push for this dogma is not done by Muslim Scholar. But by non muslim scholar especially the revisionist school of Islam. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revisionist_school_of_Islamic_studies The Syriac-Aramaic influence is mostly work by this scholar, Christoph Luxenberg : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christoph_Luxenberg. So I assume you are a muslim right? Well sometimes the work, research that we done influenced by our own confirmation and cognitive bias. That is why it is hard for this work to be accepted in the mainstream muslim teaching. No offense to you, but this bias also prevalent in scientific journal, but scientific journal do have mechanism to prevent this, ie using statistics, P value and peer reviewed research. This is not the same as for Quranic and hadith studies as, how shall I put it, Im going to be blunt here, some of the work if published by the Muslim, that Muslim will be "takfir" as Kaffir or punished under blasphemy act. So in this preconceive notion of selective speech, I conclude that the reason why the notion of Syriac-Aramaic influence in the Quran is because the Muslim scholar reject this notion of "contradiction". And I admit, this is highly controversial. But I leave it up to you to decide.

[@Far7anR]

> "Well most of them dont even recognize the Syriac-Aramaic influence in the Quran." They way you phrase it makes it sounds as if they are denying something as obvious as a spherical earth. In reality, the Syriac-Aramaic hypothesis is about as valid as the flat earth theory itself. I know it is getting popular among ex-Muslims and Christian apologists and whatnot but they are just using it as ammunition and haven't actually produced anything scholarly or cogent. I really can't fathom how you could give this theory any weight except that you have been listen to too many people with an agenda but no scholarly honesty. Here are a non-Muslim scholars speaking on Luxenberg: *Daniel King* , a Syriacist at the University of Cardiff (he is one of those scholars that does actually believe that Islam borrowed from Christianity, as opposed to Islam and Christianity being both divine traditions revealed by the same God, and his review on Luxenberg reflects this): "Luxenberg's meta-theory of Qur'ānic origins is *not proved* by the evidence he sets forth in this book." *Angelika Neuwirth* , professor of Quranic studies from Freie University: "[...] an *extremely pretentious hypothesis* which is unfortunately relying on rather *modest foundations* [...] limits himself to a very mechanistic, positivist linguistic method without caring for theoretical considerations developed in modern linguistics" *François de Blois* , professor at University of Cambridge: "not a work of scholarship but of dilettantism [...] [Luxemberg's] grasp of Syriac is limited to knowledge of dictionaries" You linked me to a page on the Revisionist School - which is really just a terrible, terrible mess of things, one that is really unfounded and plagued with assumptions and agendas and whatnot, but here is what one *well-known Revisionist, Patricia Crone* , said on Luxemberg: "[Luxemberg's book is] *open to so many scholarly objections* [...] notably *amateurism* ..." As far as your point on bias goes, I think that the history of Islamic scholarship shows that the scholars were definitely not afraid to question everything and dig deep as far as I can. Not only did the ask and dig, but they recorded and made known what they found and thought. The majority of anti-Islam apologetics is based on ahadith or material written and shared by Muslim scholars. Muslim scholars did not erase controversial narrations - even fabricated narrations were recorded and passed down (but identified as fabricated - and even then, scholars were not afraid to argue over veracity of the narrations). All Islamic material, including the Qur'an itself, was always in the hands of the public, and official compilations were made to officially and systematically preserve disseminate knowledge, as opposed to construct an official canon. Honestly, the reason why the Syriac-Aramaic hypothesis is not accepted is simply because it just makes no sense, and this is something generally agreed by both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Instead, I advise you to consider that perhaps it is the people like Luxemberg and Salsalah and others that have the problematic agendas and biases in this situation. We don't even know who Luxemberg is, and people like the Christian apologists and Salsalah have clear, clear agendas that do not include scrupulous scholarship.

[@nickjohn2051]

Far7anR Yes, thats why Im abit caution about this hypothesis. Btw, Revisionism make a good point especially the suppose historical claim of Sira and Hadith. Quran itself can be disputed as the earliest codex was 60-80 years after Muhammad death. Plenty of time for changes. Not only that, the suppose Uthman original codex did not even exist. The only record we have on early Quran were Birmingham, Sanaa etc. Sanaa scripture itself deviates from mainstream Quran today as it differ from verses and content. Historian dont see eye to eye with Muslim scholars on this issue. And that is bad news for Islam in general.

These languages took the root from the Sementic. However, you are right if you say Urdu borrowed the word “Allah” from Arabic. To prove you are wrong, the word NO in English is No in French, Nya in Hindi, Net in Russian , and Na, Ne, Ni, Nu, in other Indo-European Languages. Can you tell me which borrowed which? None of these languages borrowed this word, but rather they shared the same root of the word because these languages belong to a lager group language which, Indo-European language.

Everything this girl says is based on the idea that Arabic originated from Aramaic. That is just flat out untrue, as both are cousin languages but from different branches and with different histories - this is common linguistics knowledge. Syriac is from Aramaic, and Aramaic is a North Central Semitic language. Arabic is a South Central Semitic language, and developed independently. Also, she makes a lot of weird points and assertions about how Arabs and Muslims feel or think that are also untrue. For more, look up Hamza Tzortzis on the matter of Aramaic origins and Dr. Umar Farud Abd-Allah's "One God, Many Names" lecture and/or article. The weird thing is, Muslims are generally the first to speak up on this issue, especially about the analogs of "Allah" in other language, to show that Allah a deity common to everyone, and the Qur'an presents Allah is the One True God, the God of the Jews and Christians and of every truly revealed religion. Arabic nonMuslims refer to God as Allah, even the Jews and Christians who spoke with the Messenger Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and today Arabic Bibles use "Allah" to refer to God. What a truly misinformed and misleading video.

[@risan3022]

It is somewhat true. It says here too www.quora.com/What-is-the-relationship-between-Aramaic-and-Arabic "Aramaic is the ancestral language to both Arabic and Hebrew. Both languages developed from Aramaic. Pre-Israelite inhabitants living around the Dead Sea spoke Aramaic, and then their language later developed into Hebrew. Pre-Nabatean inhabitants living in the deserts of Jordan also spoke a form of Nabatean Aramaic which was only a dialect, until the language developed into Arabic. In both Arabic and Hebrew most of the words, if not all, are borrowed from Aramaic."

Quora is a question and answer site, not an educational reference site. Althought Quora definitely has higher standards than, say, Yahoo! Answers, it is still basically just strangers telling others what they think, just like you and I seem to be doing here. The quote you provided was given by a user who gave no reference for what he said, nor did he provide any qualifications for himself beyond high school. And for what it's worth, his post only received one upvote. Here is a quote from the highest rated answer to that question: "The 'traditional' family tree for Semitic languages places Arabic in the South Semitic group, with Ethiopian languages such as Amharic, ,and South Arabian languages. Aramaic in this classification is grouped with Hebrew (both ancient and Modern) in a branch of Semitic named 'Canaanite', which also includes Phoenician. On this model, *Arabic is geographically and structurally separated from Aramaic.* " You can read the rest of Calum Edwards' comment for further elucidation, and seems to match the current scholarship. He seems to have studied Arabic to a high level and studied at The School of Oriental and African Studies, at the SOAS University of London. He seems far more reliable of a source than the quote you presented, with respective to both individuals.

This one is not reliable either? www.britannica.com/topic/Aramaic-alphabet#ref1219046 "The Aramaic alphabet consists of 22 letters, all indicating consonants (though some can also represent vowels), and it is written from right to left. It is ancestral to Square Hebrew and the modern Hebrew alphabet, the Nabataean and modern Arabic scripts, the Palmyrenian alphabet, and the Syriac, as well as hundreds of other writing systems used at some time in Asia east of Syria."

[@Far7anR]

Britannica is more reliable, but what you posted is actually not relevant to the matter at hand. Your Britannica article is talking about the development of written script, NOT the development of the actual spoken language and its characteristics. This are two very different things. Indeed, it is commonly believed that the current Arabic script has been influenced in part by Aramaic, but this does not in any way imply that the Arabic language has been derived from Aramaic. To give you an example: La ilaha illallah. That is Arabic for "there is no deity except Allah" but written in Roman script. If the Arab world adopted this script, would that imply that the Arabic language itself has been influenced by Latin? No. Likewise, the script that a language uses in written form does not really imply much on linguistic relationships and developments. Look up Britannica's pages for the actual languages. For a start, here is a graph from Britannica clearly showing that Arabic and Aramaic our cousins, as opposed to one being derived from another: cdn.britannica.com/668x448/50/117850-004-D5B94B61.jpg

[@risan3022]

I agree with you on some point about the written language being independent of spoken language during the development of a language. For example the Javanese language (which is one the 200 languages in Indonesia) belongs to Austronesian language family but the Javanese script is a descendent of Brahmic script (Indon-Aryan language family) from South India. Even though Callum Edwards says , we can't deny that during human civilization, each culture in the world has influenced each other in different amount depending on how much contact occur between the people of different cultures through trading, immigration, conquest etc. Each culture has received more or less influence from other culture(s). For example, the Javanese language in Indonesia belongs to Malayo-Polynesian which is one of the two branches of Austronesian language. Although it is still being debated where the Austronesian language family originated but it is largely believed that the Proto-Austronesian may have began in Taiwan. People might react "What? Taiwanese speak Chinese right? " But let's examine two of the Formosan languages (the languages of the indigenous people of Taiwan). The Amis and Puyuma say TOLLO and TELU respectively to say number three. And number three in Javanese is also TELU. Number 4, SPAT (Amis) PAT (Puyuma) and PAPAT (Javanese). Number 5 LIMA (Amis and Puyuma), LIMO (javanese). And if you see geographically, Indonesia and Taiwan is separated by a vast South China Sea which is part of Pacific Ocean. How could they have common words if they're separated by such a huge gap geographically? The same thing applies to the Javanese script which has received huge influence from sanskrit that came from a completely different direction geographically. Then how could the Javanese share common words with the language of indigenous people of Taiwan but share common script with script used in South India? Of course through contact throughout centuries, trading, migration, etc. The girl mentioned that Aramaic was the lingua franca during the Neo-Assyrian empire which encompased some of the Arab region. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Map_of_Assyria.png Also Aramaic is older than Hebrew and Arab. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/Semitic_languages_-_Chronology.png Plus the fact that both Aramaic and Arabic belong to the same group, it is quite understandable if they're both related and it is highly possible that Aramaic has some influence on Arabic.

This is so untrue, the word “Quran- قرآن” is derived from the Arabic roots “Qara’a -"قرأ” means “Recite or Read - قرأ أو تلى” as well as “Qarana - قرن” means “Gather” while the Aramaic word “Qiriana- قريانا ” appeared for the first time in history in Aramaic language in the glossary edited by the 10th century Aramaic linguistic , translator and physician “Ishö bar'Ali - عيسى بن علي” who served in the Abbasid Caliphate Court 250 years after beginning of Islam, means this particular translator quoted the word “Quran”, the name of the holy Muslim book, and adapted to his own native language! What these people are trying to do is trying to use the similarity between the sister Semitic languages, Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic to claim that the Arabic (and accordingly the Holly Quran) lacks the originality and thus legacy, here is the surprise, ask an expert in Semitic languages what to do when you do not know the meaning of any word, term or grammar in Aramaic or Hebrew, the answer will directly (consult the Mother of the Semitic languages “ARABIC”)

I literally have no idea what this video is about. Informing people about Aramaic or attacking the Quran. Firstly, the Quran is not burrowed from Syriamaic or Aramaic. The examples you gave like QURAN and QIRANNA don’t demonstrate how the Quran is burrowed from Syriac and Aramaic. These words are different in pronunciation and also, have different meanings. This is also the same with ALLAH ELAHA. ALLAH doesn’t just mean God, it actually means, “The God.” Yes, in Arabic and Aramaic they are some exact words however, they have completely different meanings. If the Quran was burrowed from Syriac and Aramaic texts then there would be an overlap. Don’t tell me that the Aramaic Language influenced Classical Arabic when none, in Mecca knew of Syriac and Aramaic. Yes, of course there’s going to be some similarities because, these are SEMETIC LANGUAGES. If some did know language, then it would be forgotten and, that’s exactly written in the Hadith. Also, do you know that we’re not certain that Jesus spoke Aramaic. It’s actually more likely he spoke Hebrew. You’re telling me a person who can’t read travel back in time, steals words from Syriac or Aramaic, go back to his time and, put those words in the Quran. During the prophets time, practicality none spoke or read Aramaic and definitely, not the Quraysh who loved their pure Classical Arabic. Don’t come and tell me about things when you have no knowledge. The Quran who is in Arabic compared to the stupid Bible in stupid Aramaic which literally says BEGOTTEN. What’s the better linguistic book. You already know the answer.

This is what I understand that arameic is the oldest of most semetic languages. Arabic language has been affected by it and developed into more complex language. Though Islam is not just about Arabic language. There are also other influencal Muslim languages like Turkish and Persian. Without the Persians we wouldn't have hindi or Urdu in India and Pakistan. Turkish language is spread to Russia and China. Turks with ottoman empire spread Islam to Europe to Kosovo and Bosnia. But all these languages are also spoken by Muslims but often not recognized.

Arabic and especially the dialects of iraq and the levant are heavily influenced by east/west aramaic but some things are proto semitic roots they have in common and others mere loan words. For example the word “ilh” is semitic for “a god” thus Elohim, Allaha, Allah all come from that word not “stealing it from eachother”. And thats true quran is known to be syriac word thus a loanword. Actually some even say that the quran was originally a syriac book from yemen but that remains a hypothesis. But again science has manners folks dont get too biased :)

The fact that the Quran is the eternal word of God doesn't relate to the state of the Arabic language and it certainly doesn't make Arabic eternal or anything of that sort. God simply communicated his word in Arabic translated from something more abstract to the closest image that man can comprehend. God also describes how he "brought down" the Quran in Arabic as if to indicate that its Arabic identity is tied to its decent rather than its actual essence; that becomes more clear when he follows that statement with "so you comprehend " as if to admit reduction and say that the purpose of such reduction from the abstract is for humans to comprehend.

We believe that Qur’an is the word of God but we do not believe that Arabic is also His language. Languages are just meant for human beings and God is beyond that.

Off-course saying this does not eliminates the fact that some muslims are claiming some divine status for Arabic but this is not supported by Qur’an or the Prophetic Traditions(sunnah). Arabic is just the last Language that Allah uses to communicate with Mankind and nothing else. Surely Allah can use any language He wants and He choose Arabic for Qur’an just like He chooses Hebrew & Aramaic before for the earlier revelations.

Lol. What are you going on about? The Syriac/Aramaic/Hebrew/Arabic relationship has been known for centuries. All languages influence each other. Even early Arab grammarians knew this. In fact Hebrew grammar as a science was developed after the work of the earliest Arab grammarians like Khalil and Sibawayh. Aramaic grammar probably didn't develop until later. Even early Syriac grammar texts were heavily influenced by Greek ones. These are not things I'm making up, they are well known basic facts you will learn in a linguistical history class on ancient Middle Eastern languages. Syriac and Aramaic being the linguistic progenitors of Arabic has no bearing on the value of the Qur'an as being uncreated or eternal, as according to mainstream Islamic theology, the written and spoken words of the Qur'an are created, even if the Qur'an in its essence and meaning is uncreated and eternal. The whole point of saying the Qur'an is uncreated and eternal is because it is the speech of the Creator, who is himself uncreated. The language is largely irrelevant in theology, it becomes more relevant in the civilizational/cultural/legal aspects of Islam. Allah simply conveyed His words via Gabriel in a language that the target audience (Arabs!) would understand. Arabic on the other hand, is not an 'uncreated' language in the slightest. It has nothing to do with the discussion. And this was understood in the discussions of the earliest Arab grammarians. Please learn before speaking. You can criticize Islam if you want but don't do it in an ignorant way. You debase yourself before others. I recommend this book for a history of Arabic linguistics: www.amazon.ca/Foundations-Arabic-Linguistics-S%C4%ABbawayhi-Grammatical/dp/9004223592/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1528062679&sr=8-1&keywords=foundations+of+arabic+linguistics And you can find any basic theological text from traditional Islamic sources that will explain the Islamic belief of an 'uncreated' Qur'an quite clearly.

Those small Muslim populations are Christian converts to Islam due to Islam conquest of the regions. In Turkey, those people were Syriac christians who were converted to Islam by the sword in a genocide matter called the Sayfo in 1915.

[@adnaanraja1]

I like the concept but unfortunatley instead of being academic, it comes across as biased and uninformed. Classical Arabic grammarians and linguists never denied the link between the semitic languages. Instead, they recognised Hebrew, Syriac, and Aramaic as sacred languages. This was then reflected in the legal traditions of Islam which forbade Muslims from disrespecting these languages by taking their literature into places considered to be impure in Islam (like washrooms). Imam Suyuti (d. 911) has an entire book dedicated to lexis in the Quran which is not of Arabic origin; It presents absolutley no theological issue for Muslims what so ever because in the Islamic tradition, it is God's attribute of Speech (that is without language) which is eternal. As for the revealed form, it has a language (such as Aramaic for the gospels or Arabic Quran) and is non-eternal. There is tonnes of material about this by both Muslim and non Muslim scholars. Kalam Nafsi (Divine attribute of Speech - it is eternal, unlike human speech, unbound by language); Kalam Lafdhi (the revealed message of God, like the Quran, Pslams, Gospels, and Torah - it is non-eternal, finite, and bound by language).
