The questioner : The questioner says: It is said in some colleges, particularly the College of Arabic Language in some universities, that the Qur'an is too great to be subjected to the rules of grammar, and they say that those who wrote on language in the past did not cite the Noble Qur'an. What is your opinion, Your Eminence, on this?

The Shaykh : What do they say?

The questioner : They say that those who wrote on the Arabic language in the past did not cite the Noble Qur'an.

The Shaykh : Yes, our view on this is that this statement is wrong, a great error without a doubt, because Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said in His Book: And if a person were to write a book on language and cite the speech of a Bedouin in the desert, people would consider that evidence for what he cited. So how can it be that we cannot say that one who cites a verse from the Book of Allah has cited valid evidence? Without a doubt, the statement of this speaker is one of the greatest lies and falsehoods. The Noble Qur'an is, without a doubt, a source and a strong proof cited for the Arabic language. Look at the books of the scholars who wrote on Arabic: how they cite the Qur'an to establish the rules, and how they respond to the problematic verses that may deviate from their rules. Indeed, some of them have even changed the rule to accommodate what the noble verses brought, such as the saying of Allah, the Exalted: Some scholars have said that it is permissible to add the plural marker to a verb whose subject is an explicit noun, and that the Qur'an has indicated this. Instead of saying that it is permissible according to the language of what? "The locusts ate us", and now we make it "The locusts ate them" without citing the noble verse. We see that the Qur'an is the greatest evidence for the Arabic language and the rules of the Arabic language. Whoever says such a statement should seek forgiveness from Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and repent to Him, because Allah Himself is the One who said:
