" The Qur’ān has been revealed in the classical Arabic spoken in Makkah. It was spoken in the age of ignorance by the tribe of Quraysh. No doubt the Almighty has endowed it with inimitable eloquence and articulacy in the Qur’ān, yet as far as its substance is concerned, it is no different from the one spoken by the Messenger of God and which in those times was the tongue of the people of Makkah:
Thus We have revealed to you this [Qur’ān] in your own tongue that through it you may proclaim glad tidings to the upright and fully warn the stubborn. Quran (19:97) "
