that's what happens when you go all-in on scripture. the Quran, and I'm paraphrasing here, states that one should never paraphrase the Quran, because when it comes to the holy word you either say it exactly or not at all.

so resisting linguistic change is pretty damn important for Muslims. Arabic is deliberately weighed down by its own importance in the culture

sucks for them tbh!
laughs in the belief that scriptures are blasphemy
