There are many verses concerning languages in the Holy Qur’an. The very first revelation sent down by Allah is about to read. As we know, reading is one of the language skills that should be learned. Through reading, man will know a great deal of knowledge. One of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of man’s languages (Q.30:22). Allah, the Almighty has taught man eloquent speech (Q.55:4). The first thing Allah taught Adam was all names of everything, then He showed them too the angels. Allah asked the angels to tell him the names of these things, but they could not mention them. Adam was asked to tell the angels all the names of everything that had been taught by Allah. Because of this all the angels were told to prostrate before Adam to show a good respect to Adam, except Iblis. (Q.2 : 31-33).
