The Reality of the Arabic Language as the Language of the Quran and Development in the Arab World

Abstract

Most linguists affirm that all the world's languages are capable of becoming languages of the world and of knowledge, provided a set of material, human, and scientific factors are present. Therefore, the Arab world cannot achieve the projects of renaissance and development it has aspired to since its independence from Western colonialism except through its Arabic language, as a national and cultural language possessing the historical, civilizational, scientific, and social conditions that make it worthy of this role.

The Arabic language is a fundamental pillar of development in the Arab world. It is not merely a tool for communication, but a vessel of identity, thought, and heritage, and the foundation of national unity. It is also

the language of knowledge and science. Its true development requires its integration into higher education and scientific research, the modernization of its vocabulary to keep pace with the technological age, and the

activation of language policies to protect and develop it in order to confront the challenges of cultural dependency and achieve sustainable development, rather than marginalizing and excluding it from the fields of progress. Therefore, in this modest study, we will attempt to outline and address these conditions.
