Alle Sprachen sind Allahs. Er hat sie offenbart, erschaffen und geformt, sie im Laufe der Zeiten gestaltet. Ursprünglich war die Menschheit ein Stamm (Sure 2, Vers 213[i]), und von diesem stammen alle Menschen ab, ebenso wie alle Sprachen, Dialekte und Mundarten. Daher gibt es ein gemeinsames Bündnis, eine genetische Einheit, die sich auch in Worten und Kulturen widerspiegelt. Letztlich existiert dieses Bündnis auch in unserem gemeinsamen Glauben.

Historique dans tous les sens du terme, ensuite : ses dix-sept tomes publiés entre 1833 et 1867 constituent la première histoire exhaustive consacrée à la France, qui avant lui n'était décrite que par une "suite d'annales" sans qu'un sens global en ait jamais été dégagé.
