To explain this issue in more details towards the origins of this language of the Qur’an, research on the word ‘Allah’ is sample proof that the nahw systems have been practiced, thus the word ‘Allah’ through an Arabic linguistic nahw approach has to be phrased to determine when did this word appear. Ibnu Manzur, in his book Lisaan al- Arab, had discussed the meaning of the word ‘Allah’ in depth. The word ‘Allah’ in fact originates from the word إِلاَهٌ from the wazn فِعَالٌ that then became wazn مَفْعُوْلٌ or مَأْلُوْهٌ meaning ‘who is worshipped’. Sibawaih had also mentioned, in his book al-Kitab, that pre-Islamic Arabs had used the word لاهٌ , with omission of the second `Lam` in this word ‘Allah’.
