Which language did the prophets speak?
Did all the prophets speak Arabic? Which language were the divine books revealed to them?
“Which the True Spirit hath brought down. Upon thy heart, that thou mayst be (one) of the warners, in plain Arabic speech.” (Surah al Shuara, 193- 195)
While Imam Suyuti interprets the ayahs from 193 to 195 of surah al Shuara in his book called “Itqan”, he says that “All divine books were revealed in Arabic. All revelations were sent down in Arabic and all the prophets conveyed them to their ummahs (communities) in their communities’ languages. “
As a conclusion of this interpretation, we understand that all prophets fulfilled their duties to reach out the divine message in their own languages.
