The odd thing about the Qu'ran, is there was no written Arabic during the life of Muhammad. Rather, Syrio-Aramaic was pressed into service to record or create his mythology some 70 to 100 years after his death. Written Arabic was developed from the Syrio-Aramaic Qu'ran. Compare this to the New Testament, where there are other writings which help us understand what the words mean. There are many words in the Qu'ran that have no counterparts in Arabic, but are easily understandable in Syrio-Aramaic.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
