Abstract: This article presents a reflective synthesis of a two-decade scholarly development that combines Arabic linguistics, Qur’anic stylistics, Hadith discourse, pedagogy, and digital humanities. Guided by the central inquiry—how the Arabic language functions not merely as a channel but as a medium of divine revelation—it traces seven conceptual phases of intellectual progression. These phases encompass foundational work in Arabic lexical pedagogy and semantic field theory; extended analysis of derivational morphology, phonosemantics, and rhetorical architecture; and more recent innovations in computational tools, instructional design, and genre-sensitive translation. Rather than offering a linear chronology, the article outlines a thematic evolution culminating in a multilayered analytical framework that synthesizes phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and rhetorical dimensions. This framework is applied across Qur’anic and Prophetic texts, illustrating how language enacts theology through stratified stylistic structures. By integrating classical Arabic balÄ ghah with contemporary linguistic and technological methodologies, the article proposes a comprehensive model for Qur’anic interpretation and theological pedagogy—one that is linguistically rigorous, theologically grounded, and pedagogically actionable.
