Jum'ah Journal-Qur'an Quotes

I have been talking about such quotes that non-Muslims have used incorrectly basically to further their own agenda.
The language of Qur'an is the language that was prevalent and clearly understandable by those who were present then. The words used by Qur'an were those that carried the significance which was easy to comprehend.
Sura 14th, Verse #4, "We sent an apostle (th teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them.............."
 That is why wen we wish to understand a verse we look into how those people understood or how they acted upon it etc. There are many examples of that for us to understand, for example; in Sura Nisaa (4th) verse#101
"When ye travel through the earth there is no blame on you if ye shorten your prayers, forthe fear the unbelievers may attack you....."
 The prophet, however continued to shorten prayers even when there was no fear of attack during travel. That was his interpretation and accepted by all AND allowed by the Lawgiver.
 I repeat here what I said before, the preservation is that of the "sounds of the words" as they were pronounced then by different people in 'Hijaz area' so the harakat (signs that make a sound of vowel) were "added" for those who did not know the exact way of pronunciation and had to be guided with those 'harakat'. The persons who memorize Qur'an have to first learn how to pronounce  as close to the way it should be pronounced because they are 'repeating the sounds' as if a recorded copy that has been handed down through the ages to us. (This is a brief introduction only. there is a whole bit of science of "tajweed" when you wish to learn how to recite Qur'an properly)
