Different Quranic recitation styles among grammarians affect the meaning of the text and would result in varying interpretations. If we look back in the history of the creation of the Arabic syntax it was in the hands of qurrā ɔ. Most of whom were grammarians such as: Abu al‒Aswad ad‒Du ɔ alī, Ibn Abī Iṡhāk al‒Hadramī, al‒Khalil ibn Ahmad al‒Farāhīdī, al‒Kisā ɔ ī, and etc. Different styles of pronunciation in the recitation of the Quran are normally accepted unless it resulted in distortion of meaning then the recitation is prohibited. Al‒Farrā ɔ says in this respect that “the Book, i.e. the Quran, is the clearer [one] and has the stronger argument over poetry”, i and Ibn Khalawayhi adds that “people have decided that if a word appears in the Quran, then it is the more fuent [here] in comparison to anywhere else”. ii Thus, any argument brought forth from syntactical principles based on Qur ɔ ānic evidence is considered stronger than an argument based on other authoritative texts. The infuence of theology philosophy on Arabic linguistic perhaps came when the inimitability of Quran was discovered. To understand the Quran verses which revealed in Arabic language needs thorough understanding either grammar, semantic, rhetoric, morphology and etc. Without details analysis the understanding of meaning become vogue or unclear, especially for those who are non‒Arab or called Ajam. To discuss the topic mentioned, the relationship between the both concept of knowledge need to be highlighted according to signifcant views of the scholars. 1,2 The relationship between Arabic grammar and theology concept What is the secret of the existence theology concept in Arabic grammar? Ironically, for the majority of the Muslim world who subscribe to the teaching of Sunna Wal Jamaa (in modern parlance i Al‒Farrā ɔ . Ma c ānī Al‒Qur ɔ ān. Beirut: World of Books; 1983. p. 14. ii As‒Suyūtī. Al‒ ɔ Itqān fī c Ulūm Al‒Qur ɔ ān. Beirut: Arabic Book Press; 1998. p. 213. The Sunni school of thought), it was Abu al‒Aswad (d. 69H) one of the prominent intellectual fgure in the Mu`tazilite movement in 11 th century Iraq who propounded a systematic form of Arabic grammar. Another signifcant fgure was Sibawayh the grammarian who connected Islamic theology with Arabic grammar such as What speaks of glorifcation and praise, and not all, of words is great and they are not great. In his book `al‒Kitab`, terms or concept in theology became popular such as expansion (Expansion), asserts (the fndings), explanation (The explanations), mental analogical approach (Mental measure) and access to the mind of the provisions grammatical (And resort to the mind in many grammatical rulings). The philosophy of theology was an alternative method in expression the grammar thought, meant the Arabic grammar uninfuenced by foreign thinking as claimed by some people. We have recorded that most of the Arab grammarians they were Mu`tazilite such as Abu Aswad as‒ Dualy, Farra`, Kisa`I, Ibn Jinni, Ibn faris and etc. As mentioned by az‒Zubaydi iii that the early Arab grammarians who living together with the theologians were Abu Abdullah Ibn Ishaq( d.117h) living in the time of Wasil bin Ata` (131h), Essa bin Umar ( d. 149h), Khalil Ahmad (175h) and Ibn al‒MuqafaA (d.142h), Thumamah bin Ashras (d. 213h) and al‒Farra` (d.208h). The proof that the Arabic grammar been infuenced by theology, we have found that Khalil Ahmad Al‒ Farahidi associated with analogical thinking in his theory in deriving the linguistic thought especially in grammatical approach. iv Sibawayh, the writer of `al‒Kitab` been affected by him as mentioned in his `al‒ Kitab` a lot of grammatical theories rely on theological and Islamic jurisprudence principles. Another prominent man was al‒Akhfash al‒Wasit (d. 213h) was a theologian Mu`tazilate who came after Sibawayh. Al‒Qifti mentioned in his book that al‒Akhfash imposed the method of theology when applied Quran exegesis such as in (God spoke to Moses). Whilst Ibn Sarrag introduced a new approach of logic into grammar, then this task has been continued by Abu Ali al‒Farisi when he mentioned in several of his books which were iii Az‒Zubaydi.

Written evidence of the inimitability of the Quran on comprehending the concept of Arabic linguistic history and theology Volume 4 Issue 2 - 2020 Solehah Yaacob Professor of Philosophy of Arabic Grammar, Department of Arabic Language and Literature, International Islamic, University Malaysia, Malaysia Correspondence: Solehah Yaacob, Professor of Philosophy of Arabic Grammar, Department of Arabic Language and Literature, International Islamic, University Malaysia, Malaysia, Tel 0361965114, Email Received: July 02, 2019 | Published: April 27, 2020 Abstract The study focuses on how the relationship between Arabic linguistic and theology concept in the Quran will enhance the understanding of Islamic principles. However, there have been too many pointless debates and discussions on the issue of infuence of Arabic linguistic on philosophical theology. In order to highlight signifcant issues of the Quranic interpretation of the theology as a consummation of metaphysics or Tauhidic concept, the need of understanding of deep semantic approach is necessary. In this study, the Tauhidic concept is presented not to linguists but theologians (Mu`tazilah) in impressing upon them the need to study not only theology but also grammar and literary theory in order to improve the understanding of the inimitability of the Qur’an. An analytical discussion on some views among the scholars on the topic is a method approach of the research.
