The Language of Quran and Cultural Discourse of the I. R. of Iran

The complicated and multilayer role of language in cultural relations and interactions in the international level is something clear today. Colonialism and the global arrogance has exploited this important role within the past centuries, so that linguistic and cultural colonization constitutes a major segment of the history of colonialism in the past and present. This is while Islam is a linguistic religion whose civilization is likewise based on language and culture. The language of Quran is not the mother tongue of any tribe; rather, it is the most perfect and comprehensive language through which the Almighty God addresses people. It is based on human nature. It is a language far beyond the boundaries of race and ethnicity, politics and nationality, and even beyond the geographical and historical boundaries. It is more the basis for and essence of knowledge and insight, intellect and culture than translation of a legal collection, fiction, and Sharia law for the religiously recommended and religiously prohibited issues. Given its diversified and chiefly undiscovered capacities, the language of Quran can be used as a source of intellectual communications as well as cultural and scientific pattern for the Islamic Republic of Iran for promotion of higher humane ends in global level.  This paper clarifies parts of the roles and capacities of this language while maintaining that the translations of the Holy Quran have all been unable to reflect and represent those roles.
