THE LINGUISTIC FEATURES OF THE QUR'AN IN THE ARABIC LANGUAGE.

Arabic belongs to the Semitic language family. Although it existed long before the revelation of the Qur'an, the Qur'an is widely regarded as the foundational source for the Arabic language. This recognition stems from a range of linguistic and meta-linguistic factors. However, in this study, we will focus exclusively on the linguistic features of the Qur'an that have contributed to its central role in shaping and enriching Arabic. Despite being a religious text, the Qur'an draws much of its enduring power from its language, style, narrative structure, and eloquent discourse. These elements elevate it beyond a spiritual guide to a linguistic masterpiece. In conducting this study, we have employed various research methods, including analytical, historical, comparative, and particularly descriptive methodologies. The conclusion of this paper will present the main findings, showing that the Qur'an is not only a historical source of the Arabic language but also a dynamic force in the renewal and continual evolution of Arabic throughout every historical period.
