4عَلَّمَهُ البَيانَAli UnalHe has taught him speech.1Teaching the Qur’ān, creating humankind, endowing us with the ability to speak, and teaching us how to speak by inspiring language in us—all these are among the greatest blessings of God and manifestations of His being the All-Merciful. Speech is a very complicated process, which takes place at the same instant as thought. Through speech, people make themselves known. How languages have come into being and been diversified is a mystery. No one knows how this happened, although there are many different theories. However, God declares that He made all things known to Adam and taught him their names (1: 31). Therefore, language is also a direct gift from God.
