The immediate audience of the Messenger of God ﷺ was the Arabs living in Makkah. The Majestic Quran is guidance for faith and practices and it is obvious that this has to be in the language of the people. The Arabs were amazing poets and cherished their poetry, however, the Quran was not poetry, although it was in beautiful and eloquent prose, the Arabs found it very impressive and unique. The Quran claims “ these are the verses of a clear book. We revealed it as an Arabic Quran so you may understand” (Yusuf: 1-3). The Quran is full of dialogue with the Messenger (peace be upon him), the Quraish of Makkah, people of the book and sometimes with the entire humanity. By using quotation marks we have endeavoured to convey this conversation in the original text, this has also been useful for identifying the start and end of sections.
