وَلَوۡ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ قُرۡءَانًا أَعۡجَمِيّٗا لَّقَالُواْ لَوۡلَا فُصِّلَتۡ ءَايَٰتُهُۥٓۖ ءَا۬عۡجَمِيّٞ وَعَرَبِيّٞۗ قُلۡ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ هُدٗى وَشِفَآءٞۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ فِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرٞ وَهُوَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ عَمًىۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ يُنَادَوۡنَ مِن مَّكَانِۭ بَعِيدٖ
And if We had made it a non-Arabic Qur'an, they would have said, "Why are its verses not explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a foreign [recitation] and an Arab [messenger]?" Say, "It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure." And those who do not believe - in their ears is deafness, and it is upon them blindness. Those are being called from a distant place
When the Quran was revealed in the Arabic language, opponents of Islam said that this was the Prophet Muhammad’s mother tongue, and therefore it was not difficult for him to write some sort of book in Arabic and present it as holy scripture. They further said that had he really been a prophet, he would have delivered discourses in a strange language with the help of God. Non-serious and insincere people alone indulge in such talk, and such people can never be satisfied. For example, if it had happened that the prophet had approached the Arab people and started talking to them in Greek or Syriac or Persian language, the people would have had grounds for saying; ‘How strange is this prophet! He says that he has come to guide the people, but he speaks in a language which is not understood by his audience.’ The fact is that only those people are able to accept the Truth who are serious about it. Those who are not serious about the Truth are unable to understand even the clearest of its points. The analogy befitting them is that of a person who is called from a very far-off place. Such a person will hear some voice, but he will be unable to make out its real sense.
قرآن عربي زبان ميں اتراتو مخالفين نےكها يه تو محمد كي اپني مادري زبان هے، عربي ميں كوئي كتاب بنا كر پيش كردينا ان كے ليے كيا مشكل هے۔ اگر وه واقعي پيغمبر هوتے تو خدا كي مدد سے وه اچانك كسي اجنبي زبان ميں كلام كرنے لگتے۔
اس طرح كي بات هميشه غير سنجيده لوگ كرتے هيں۔ اور جو لوگ غير سنجيده هوں ان كي زبان كبھي بند نهيں كي جاسكتي۔ مثلاً اگر ايسا هو كه پيغمبر آكر عرب كے لوگوں سے يوناني يا سُرياني يا فارسي زبان ميں كلام كرنے لگے تو اس وقت لوگوں كو كهنے کے ليے يه الفاظ مل جائيں گے— كيسا عجيب هے يه پيغمبر۔ اس كا كهنا هے كه وه لوگوں كي هدايت كے ليے آيا هے۔ مگر وه ايسي زبان ميں بولتا هے جس كو اس كے مخاطبين سمجھ هي نه سكتے هوں۔
حقيقت يه هے كه حق كو صرف وه لوگ قبول كرپاتے هيں جو حق كے معامله ميں سنجيده هوں۔ جو لوگ حق كے معامله ميں سنجيده نه هوں وه واضح ترين بات كو بھي سمجھ نهيں سكتے۔ ان كي مثال ايسي هي هے جيسے كسي كو بهت دور سے پكار اجائے۔ ايسا شخص كچھ آواز تو سنے گا مگر وه اصل بات كو سمجھنے سے محروم رهے گا۔
