Arabic contemporary grammarists‘ point of view of the use of Qura‘anic texts and readings as grammatical evidence.

The current study discusses the Arabic contemporary grammarists’ point of view of the use of Qura’anic texts and readings as grammatical evidence. The study begins with discussing the old grammarists’ point of view of using the Qura’anic texts and readings for grammatical evidence and also mentions how almost all old grammarists had a similar point of view since they asserted the sanctity of the holy Qura’an, but they did not hesitate to reject some of the texts as evidence if they did not match grammatical rules. On the other hand, contemporary grammarists open the door wide for accepting the use of both kinds of texts: those that match grammatical rules and those that do not.
The study focuses on the contemporary grammaraists’ point of view of using Qura’anic texts for grammatical evidence and how they criticized old grammarists for prioritizing the use of prose and poetry over the use of the Holy Qura’an for grammatical evidence. Contemporary grammarists also condemn how the old grammarists used grammatical rule to analyze the Holy Qura’an while excluding the Holy Qura’an as means of making grammatical rules and how they rejected some of the grammatically correct texts because they did not match their own grammatical rules.
