The Quran is the Holy book of the Muslims, which is revealed in Arabic. It was revealed in parts over a period of 23 years. The following are some verses of the Quran about its revelation in the Arabic language.
Surely, We have revealed it-- an Arabic Quran-- that you may understand. Yusuf [12:2]
An Arabic Quran without any crookedness, that they may guard (against evil). Az-Zumar [39:28]
And thus have We sent it down an Arabic Quran, and have distinctly set forth therein of threats that they may guard (against evil) or that it may produce a reminder for them. Taha [20:113]
And thus have We revealed to you an Arabic Quran, that you may warn the mother city and those around it, and that you may give warning of the day of gathering together wherein is no doubt; a party shall be in the garden and (another) party in the burning fire. Ash-Shura [42:7]
These verses are the words of Allah Almighty. The Quran is revealed in the Arabic language for the understanding purposes. In those times and still the Arabic is the most dynamic language of the world and it is but logical for the Sovereign to select Arabic as the language to reveal the Quran in.
