Summary/Abstract: The contents of the Qur'an has regenerated Arabic language and raised it to the position of the media of spiritual expression of many ethnic communities. Although some people were proud of the non-Arab origin, they have been spiritually showing under the auspices of the Arab language. Alongside with the affiliation to Islamic civilization, they have accepted the inclusion into the Arab culture, in which they contributed to the development of Arabism. Willingly accepting Islam, new nations have affirmed what could be shared at the expense of what others might be foreign. Mutual relations between Europeans and Arabs have always been able to serve as an example of mutual influence, under which came to the fore Arabism to the language, as well as thinking. When the members of the other communities saw the justice of Islam, many of them have accepted it. They massively learned Arabic language and identified themselves it with its heirs. The language of the Qur'an soon became the language of science, culture and everyday communication, although the bearers of culture and science were not only Arabs.
