Criticism on the originality of the Arabic words in the Quran had its inception at the formative period of Islam. The ambigious and mysterious verses in the Quran stimulate Qurasyh to cast their doubt on the etymologycal aspect of Quranic language. To date, the phenomenon continued to persist when part of its content were not recognised by the scholar of Quranic studies. Modern researchers have invented novel approach to explore this issue and their findings confirm the existence of loanword in the Quran. They believed that these foreign words acquired by Muhammad through his communication with various kinds of individuals. Thus, this study aims to explore the orientalist views on the linguistic aspect of the quran, and examine their findings with Muslim scholar’s standpoint using comparative analysis. The present study is qualitative in nature in which the researcher employed textual and comparative analysis on selected words and verses in the Quran. The study in its finding propose that the orientalist views on the issue of loandwords or foreign word of Quranic language is a standpoint that stem from plausibilities and possibilities.
