Two Timely Essays by Imam al-Būṭī on Language, Dialogue, and
the Qurʾān
In this powerful and timely volume, Imam Muḥammad Saʿīd Ramaḍān
al-Būṭī, one of the foremost scholars of our time, presents two profound essays
on the Qurʾān’s guidance concerning speech, dialogue, and the preservation of
language.
The first essay, The Etiquettes of Dialogue in Allah’s
Book, explores how the Qurʾān instructs believers to engage in respectful,
wise, and principled dialogue. Drawing directly from Qurʾānic verses, Imam
al-Būṭī 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 Qurʾān 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-Būṭī 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
Qurʾān 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 daʿwah, 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.
The book is also available from Lulu.
