Question

Muhammad's arabic was WAY ahead of its time. How did he recite so well?

Answer 1

yes he's right purple pain

Answer 2

Actually the Arabic used by the prophet of Islam is an outmoded form of Arabic no longer used for daily parlance.  Comparing the Arabic of the Koran, is like comparing the English of the King James bible with every day conversational English, only with the Koran believe it or not there is an even BIGGER difference.  The Koran is the gold standard for Arabic grammar, and proper pronunciation, and men who memorize it tend to have Arabic that is more refined than men who don't.

Muhamad, we know for certain, was illiterate; he lived in grinding poverty, and education was a commodity for the wealthy in fact in the modern Arab world it still is.  The great majority of Arabs do not get doctorates to help people, they get them to display their family's success.  Many Jews in fact are the same way; that much the two sides of Abraham's line have in common.  Believe me, when I tell you, everything that is bad in the Arabs, you will find in the Jews, and everything that is bad in the Jews, you will find in the Arabs.

How could Muhamad recite so well?  See, Muhamad belonged to a merchant clan, and like all men of a merchant clan he spent a lot of time traveling along the silk road.  Out in the desert of mideval Arabia, and later on Persia, there were no movie theatres, books were too highly valued to be taken on dangerous trips (plus they were expensive), so the only entertainment they had, was poetry.  The reason Arab poetry is recited so loudly, believe it or not, was so that any lost travelers would find their way.

Say you are traveling to China.  You are out in the middle of the desert, and you get lost.  But then you hear someone reciting poetry in the distance.  Now isn't that nice?  You can just walk over to them and ask for directions.  Arab poetry is recited loudly, again, in case there are lost travelers in the desert, that was its original purpose but in time it just became habit and "tradition."

The more a man traveled, the better and better he became at reciting poetry, some becoming even respected masters of poetry outright.  Also all poetry was passed orally, with careful attention to the most minute detail.  Critics of Muhamad have stated, that the beauty of the Koran has more to do with the man's mastery of poetry, than it being a divine revelation.  As to how he could recite so well, again, the more time you spend in the desert the more you recite to keep entertained, and the more you practice the better you get.

His Arabic wasn't ahead of its time; it was just highly refined through the discipline of poetry.  Arab poetry follows a specific rhytm and form involving knowing when to be "loud," and when to use high pitch.  That is the reason Koran recitation sounds like singing, but it isn't.  The recitation techniques, were actually common to all middle eastern peoples, and in fact it is still practiced by Iraqi Jews.  The recitation of the Torah in an Iraqi Jewish synagogue, is very different from the one in an ashkenazi one, some have argued even more beautiful, more refined.  The reason that is, is because it is more ancient.

Modern Arabic writting in fact owes its origin to Persian script; the "Arabic" alphabet is in fact, Persian.  The first Koran in fact, was written not in Arabia, but in Persia, modern day Iran.  As to Muhamad having been a "child molester," I personally have cast doubt to that theory for a few very good reasons;

1)  Muhamad's first oficial biographers were Persian, and Persians, I know, don't like Arabs.

2) Arab men like their women with meat on them.  Like for example, Mariah Carrey, or Scarlett Johansson, or, Marilyn Monroe; that is how Arabs like their women, they do not like skinny, emaciated "little girls."  Muhamad was not exception to that rule, highly likely.

3)  While a grotesque and violent man, consistently, the women he stole from rivals were women that conformed to Arab beauty standards, from tradition this much is well known.

To accuse an Arab of being a pedophile, is to accuse him of the fact that he likes his women skinny as a rail.

Walk up to an Arab telling him he likes skinny women and see how he responds.  When they date thin western women in fact, Arab men are notorious for taking their girlfriends to restaurants that have fattening food.  For that very reason, I seriously doubt the whole story of him raping a 9 year old.  When he did take her likely she was 13 or 14, well within puberty given how quickly girls mature.

And come on now, no one out there seriously thinks that a 50 year old man would be virile enough to penetrate the small, undeveloped genitals of a 9 year old girl do they?  I do not mean to be obscene here but, food for logical thought.

Peace.
