With a treatise on Preserving the Arabic Language & Its Literature
Two Timely Essays by Imam al-Buti on Language, Dialogue, and the Quran
In this powerful and timely volume, Imam Muhammad Said Ramadan al-Buti, one of the foremost scholars of our time, presents two profound essays on the Quran’s guidance concerning speech, dialogue, and the preservation of language.
The first essay, The Etiquette of Dialogue in Allah’s Book, explores how the Quran instructs believers to engage in respectful, wise, and principled dialogue. Drawing directly from Quran verses, Imam al-Buti demonstrates that the believer’s approach to discussion — whether with fellow Muslims or with those who reject faith — must be rooted in clarity, logic, compassion, and ethical integrity. Far from encouraging polemics or verbal conquest, the Quran lays out a framework for inviting others to the truth with sincerity and dignity.
The second essay, Preserving the Arabic Language and Its Literature, is a stirring defence of the Arabic language and its central role in the life of the Muslim ummah. Imam al-Buti exposes the ideological agendas — both historical and modern, colonial and internal — that have sought to weaken or displace Arabic, arguing that such efforts threaten the Ummah’s direct connection to the Quran and thus, by extension, their relationship with Allah Himself.
Both essays are presented with fully vocalised Arabic text alongside precise English translations, offering timeless guidance for seekers of knowledge, Arabic students, educators, those engaged in da'wah, and all who are committed to preserving the integrity of Islam.
Deeply rooted in love for Allah, His Book, and the language in which it was revealed, this volume is a call to reflection, revival, and action.
