☪️1. Classical (Fus'ha) Arabic vs. Modern/Day-to-Day Arabic Islamic view: The Quran's preservation in its original form (including recitation rules/tawjid) keeps the divine text intact. Modern dialects evolved naturally (human process), but the Quran's language was chosen for its precision and eloquence at revelation. Translations convey meaning but lose layers, that's why Muslims emphasize learning Classical Arabic for deeper study, not because the message is Arabic-only. Counterpoint: This evolution shows language is human and changes over time, supporting the idea that the Quran's "miraculous" preservation is due to cultural/religious effort (memorization, standardization under Uthman) rather than divine intervention alone. ☪️2. Other Religious Languages (Greek, Chinese, Japanese, etc.) Still Survive Islamic view: Preservation isn't "divine ordination" in a magical sense but part of God's promise (Quran 15:9: "We have sent down the Reminder and We will preserve it"). Humans (hafiz, scholars) are the means. Counterpoint: Survival is human-driven (e.g., religious institutions, printing, education). Many ancient languages died despite sacred texts. This doesn't disprove divinity but shows preservation relies on human factors. Biblical Hebrew (revived), Koine Greek (New Testament), Classical Chinese (Daoist/Confucian texts), Sanskrit (Hindu/Vedic). Classical Arabic survived due to the Quran's centrality in worship, scholarship, and law, plus Arab cultural pride and institutions like madrasas not divinity. ☪️3. No Mention of Prophets Beyond Israelites in Abrahamic Religions? The Bible (Old Testament) focuses heavily on Israelite prophets (Moses, Isaiah, etc.), with few exceptions (e.g., Balaam, Job possibly non-Israelite). The Quran expands this: It names prophets sent to other peoples, e.g.: - Hud to 'Ad (Arab tribe) - Salih to Thamud (Arab tribe) - Shu'ayb to Midian - Lut (Lot) to his people (non-Israelite context)

Hi guys. I just wanted to warn everyone who is using the Atheist Republic chat that there is a user named secretbassrigs who I'm pretty sure is a psyops. His method is trying to sneakily be part of the chat, and then to sawn division within it, so please try to watch out for him and his tricky tactics.

It is worth, but painful, to watch this video. It is all in Persian (Farsi) but it also has English subtitles. She is going through super hell because of her father and what he does to everyone. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bIBYGFHSb7M
