Abstract

The thesis focuses on the civilizational message of Islam, and identifying the position of the Arabic Language therein, depending on the holy verse: “Allah is most knowing of where He places His message“(Surat Al-An’aam, verse no. 124), which proves that this message was sent to those who are fit for it, because Allah Almighty chooses for the prophecy who He knows is fit for it, and He knows well where to place His message, which means that the message of Allah has a specific place that it can only be placed in.
The Qur'anic speech gives the attention priority to the person who carries the message, rather than the message itself, i.e., to the human being before looking at building the nation of the message, because this man is the one who will bear the burden of communicating the message in the way that Allah intended. Thus, the first aim of the Holy message was to focus on the essence of man, so that the casual of time, place and human was integrated in the entitlement process, and this integration resulted from a set of ingredients, the most important of which are:

The collective spirit: that made Muslims realize that they have one origin, manifested, of course, in the rhetoric inimitability and the physical and psychological harmony they had acquired as if a force had given them this harmony in order to prepare them for the lofty mission of empowering religion and spreading it among people.
The system of values: that establish this spirit, that was a practical system practiced among the Arabs, who need neither an order to force it nor an inscription to remind them thereof.
The sanctity of words: which is the most powerful embodiment of the entitlement process, manifested through the Holy verses of Allah Al-mighty, revealed by Quran on the tongue of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, as well as in the system of the Holy Quran and its inimitability of words, meanings and denotations.
