Abstract

This paper discusses human language based on the concept of al-Qur’an. Human language appears to be a unique phenomenon. The ability of human to communicate with one another in intelligent, symbolic, often abstract speech and writing is considered as a complete mystery to evolutionists. Even, they are unable to elucidate how language originated. Unfortunately, there is also insufficient theory which explains not only how human speech came about, but also why there are many different languages which have been developed in the world. In the paradigm of science-religion interconnection, such case can be connected to the exploration of verses of Qur’an which discusses human’s language. Three concepts are discussed in the paper, namely the origins of human language, human brain and language, and ethics of speech in the view of al-Qur’an. These concepts are important in the study of sociolinguistics since it concerns on how language is used by human
