Transliteration:( Qur-aanan 'Arabiyyan ghaira zee 'iwajil la'allahum yattaqoon )
"It is an Arabic [75] Qur’an, wherein there is no deviation [76] from reality, that they may become pious."
This verse affirms that the Qur’an was revealed in Arabic, the linguistic cradle of clarity and eloquence.
Hence, any translation is merely an interpretation of its meaning—not the actual Qur’an itself.
Due to the subtle pronunciation differences (Makhārij) of Arabic letters,
a transliteration can distort meanings and is not permissible for recitation in prayers or for textual substitution.
The true linguistic miracle of the Qur’an lies only in its original Arabic form.
There is no contradiction, no linguistic flaw, and no deviation in the Qur’an.
Every verse is perfect in eloquence, and every claim or prophecy is accurate.
There is no deficiency in its message, nor in the Prophet ﷺ upon whom it was revealed.
Its clarity and precision are meant to lead people to piety,
urging them to reflect, believe, and adopt righteousness.
The tafsir of Surah Az-Zumar verse 28 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Zumar ayat 27 which provides the complete commentary from verse 27 through 31.
(39:28) It is an Arabic Qur’an[46] free of all crookedness[47] that they may guard against their evil end.
46. That is, it has not been sent down in a foreign language so that the people of Makkah and Arabia should stand in need of a translator or interpreter, but it is in their own language, which they can understand directly.
47. That is, there is nothing of double-dealing in it so that a common man should find it difficult to understand, but everything has been presented in it in a straightforward manner, from which everyone can know what this Book states as wrong and why, what it states as right and on what ground, what it wants the people to accept and what it wants them to reject, and what it enjoins and what it forbids.
[1349]- From the truth. [1350]- Through consciousness of Allāh.
