Tribal Languages and Their Impact on the Quranic Meaning

Abstract

The research aimed to identify a number of Qur’anic expressions attributed to the languages/dialects of some tribes and the impact of this on the Qur’anic meaning. The inductive-analytical approach was followed in this research which is divided into an introduction and four sections; the first: tribal languages and the common language, the second: the tribal languages in the Holy Qur’an, the third: the first authors on tribal languages in the Holy Qur’an, the fourth: examples of Qur’anic expressions attributed to tribal languages, then a conclusion. The most important results are that: the expressions attributed to some Arab languages, especially the Yemeni languages, left impacts on the meanings of Qur’anic verses, such as (Ba’l, Samidun, Lahu, and Wizr).
