What language did Adam speak Quran?

Published in Islamic Texts 1 min read

Adam did not speak the Quran. The Quran is believed to be the word of God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in Arabic. However, according to Islamic tradition, the language of Adam is debated.

Here's a breakdown:

  • The Quran's Language: The Quran was revealed in Arabic, and that is the language in which it is recited and understood by Muslims.

  • Adam's Language (According to Islamic Tradition): There are varying beliefs about the language Adam spoke.

    • Some Islamic scholars believe Adam spoke Arabic.
    • Others suggest it was a primordial language, sometimes referred to as the "language of paradise" or a universal language that predates the development of distinct human languages.

Therefore, while the Quran is in Arabic, the language Adam spoke is a matter of interpretation within Islamic tradition, with Arabic and a "language of paradise" being potential answers.
