Aya 44
44
وَلَو جَعَلناهُ قُرآنًا أَعجَمِيًّا لَقالوا لَولا فُصِّلَت آياتُهُ ۖ أَأَعجَمِيٌّ وَعَرَبِيٌّ ۗ قُل هُوَ لِلَّذينَ آمَنوا هُدًى وَشِفاءٌ ۖ وَالَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ في آذانِهِم وَقرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَيهِم عَمًى ۚ أُولٰئِكَ يُنادَونَ مِن مَكانٍ بَعيدٍ

Ali Quli Qarai

Had We made it a non-Arabic1 Qurʾān, they2 would have surely said, ‘Why have not its signs been articulated?’ ‘What! A non-Arabian [scripture]3 and an Arabian [prophet]!?’ Say, ‘For those who have faith, it is a guidance and healing; but as for those who are faithless, there is a deafness in their ears and it is lost to their sight.’ They are [as if they were] called from a distant place.
  • Or ‘a barbaric Qurʾān;’ that is, in a language other than articulate literary Arabic.
  • That is, the Arabs.
  • Or ‘a barbaric scripture.’
