A Survey of Some Farsi Terms in the Holy Quran and its history in Arabic Literature

Many Quran scholars have stated that there are some Quranic terms which are not originally Arabic and have been Arabicized. Some scholars, referring to the Quranic verses which clarify that the holy Quran has been revealed in Arabic, have opposed this view, but their opposition has not been supported by many scholars. Some, taking into consideration the existence of non-Arabic words in Quran, question the fact that the Quran is a miracle with the assumption that the prophet (P.B.U.H) may have obtained them from his non-Arab companions. In this regards, the contribution of Farsi Language especially in terms of cultural exchange between Iranians and Arabs has been more than any other languages and this is a proper criterion for this study. A review of Arabic literature revealed that the mentioned terms had been common in Arabic from pre-Islamic era and the Arabs used them as original Arabic words so none of the above claims could be accepted.
