538/1144). Yet, however enlightening and fascinating classical Arabic grammatical treatises may be for Semitic linguists, they do not offer answers or clues to help resolve and better understand the intricacies, peculiarities and idiosyncrasies of Qurʾānic Arabic. Although the Qurʾānic text is considered an authoritative linguistic system on its own, a critical scholar of the text is faced with borrowings, irregularities, ambiguities, hapax legomena, unorthodox morphology and syntax and other abrupt and seemingly inexplicable divergences from normative grammatical structures.

What we tend to dismiss as “anthropomorphism” or attempts to use language to express ideas about the divine can perhaps be seen to reflect more literal ideas about the way God was conceived. A similarly rich diversity of insights can be found in the commentary on Q 9:111– 18 (QS 13). Reuven Firestone comments on the way this passage – with its declaration that it would not have been right for Abraham to pray for his unbelieving father (v. 114) – invokes themes of kinship relations, an important theme in earlier Jewish and Christian tradition.

If it was what we call Classical Arabic today, the orthography could be considered strange at least. Notwithstanding some groundbreaking studies in the last century, the problem remains unsolved, even while many details point to an Arabic of the “modern, analytic” type without iʿrāb. This leads, naturally, to the next historical question and problem: why and how the original rasm was partially changed, but mostly reinterpreted and “completed” by the actually quite sophisticated Qurʾānic (and Classical Arabic) orthography?
