إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ "We have made it a Qur'an in Arabic, that ye may be able to understand (and learn wisdom)." [Quran 43:3] إنَّ اللُغَةَ العَرَبِيةَ مِنَ الدِّيْنِ وَ مَعْرِفَتُهَا فَرْضٌ وَاجِبٌ فَإنَّ فَهْمَ الكِتَابِ وَ السُّنَّةِ فَرْضٌ وَ لاَ يُفْهَمُ إلاَّ بِاللُغَةِ العَرَبِيةِ وَ مَا لاَ يَتِمُّ الوَاجِبُ إلاَّ بِهِ فَــــــــهُوَ وَاجِبٌ “Indeed the Arabic language is from the Religion, knowing it is an obligatory obligation, understanding the Book and the Sunnah is obligatory, it is not understood except by way of the Arabic language, and an obligation is not complete except by it therefore making it obligatory (to learn) .” "It is compulsory upon every responsible Muslim to try and study the Arabic Language" "I was brought up in one language (that of Khawarizm) … I learnt Arabic and Persian later, and I therefore come as an outsider to both these languages, my command of which I strive to perfect. But I must confess that I would rather be insulted in Arabic than praised in Persian." 5th most common language in the world. 300 million native speakers Over 1 billion Muslims world wide A trusted travel companion. High demand and low supply of Arabic speakers in the Western world “High thoughts must have high language. “ “A different language is a different vision of life.” “To have another language is to possess a second soul.” “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” "All that we are is the result of what we have thought" "Be careful how you think. Your life is shaped by your thoughts" "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions." |
