WHY Learning Arabic is Important for Muslims 

“Immature arguments” is a very accurate description. A majority of religious analysis and argumentation given to the public from all camps is simply that. May Allah protect the intention and spirit of this platform. Thank you.

Arabic language has 12 million words It’s the richest language in the world Glory to the Lord of all the worlds

Agree 100% Allah hu akbar

Listen I've been Muslim for almost 40 years and unfortunately some people make Islam harder than what it is if you can't recite your prayers in Arabic recited in your native tongue ALLAH speaks all languages and inshallah may he accept your efforts 😀

The great innovators and scholars above messengers

People should encourage people to speak Arabic in there homes because the Quran is in Arabic and there is a ayat in the Quran that states that the Quran was chosen by ALLAH to be in Arabic for a reason

Keep it up Imam.

MashaAllah

الله اكبر

"Amazing Arabic! Arabic is the most superior human language in the history. Period. I have been teaching Quranic/Arabic Linguistics for nearly two decades. And I have been blessed by God to have authored ten books in Arabic/Islamic studies, out of which nine textbooks focus on Arabic language disciplines/linguistics covering morphology, grammar, rhetoric, and semantics. I train and certify Arabic teachers. I speak three languages fluently and I’ve read the grammars of major world languages. Here’s what I know to be true: 1. No language comes close to the highly developed and systematic root and pattern-based morphology of the Arabic language (علم الصرف). 2. No language comes close to the sophisticated syntax, inflection, and grammar of the Arabic language (علم النحو). 3. No language comes close to the vastly superior rhetorical power and eloquence of the Arabic language (علم البلاغة). 4. No language comes close to the vast semantics of Arabic language (المعاني) which is of four types: (1) morphological semantics, (2) grammatical semantics, (3) rhetorical semantics, and (4) lexical semantics. 5. No language comes close to the massive lexicon (dictionary) of the Arabic language. 6. No language comes close to the vastly superior literature (poetry) of Arabic language. 7. No language comes close to the powerful phonetics and phonology (علم التجويد والأصوات) of Arabic language. 8. No language comes close to the Arabic script writing (علم الإملاء) of the Arabic language. Sure, one may argue that semitic languages come close to Arabic since Arabic itself is a semitic language. That’s partly true, but if you scratch beneath the surface, you will see Arabic is far superior. The sister languages of Arabic (such as Hebrew, Aramaic, etc.) do have many similarities with Arabic in terms of grammar and morphology. However, they are vastly underdeveloped compared to Arabic. There’s a good reason for this. According to one theory, Arabic can be thought of as sixth or seventh generation Semitic language. This implies that Arabic is the most developed semitic language. And that’s why Jews look to Arabic when they don’t know a word in Hebrew. They use the Arabic word to extrapolate words in their own language. Hebrew and Arabic can be thought of as sister languages. As such, there will always be similarities and differences. If you know Arabic, you can learn Hebrew (or other Semitic languages) in relatively little time. But the most advanced and developed and widely used of all semitic languages? You guessed it! The Arabic language! Coming back to the superiority of the Arabic language… Arabic language is so vast that Imam al-Shafi (الشافعي، رحمه الله) is reported to have said, “Only a prophet of God can truly know everything about the Arabic language.” (الإتقان في علوم القران) Arabic has an “algebraically predictable verbal system.”- Professor Alan S Kaye in “The World’s Major Languages (p 679) Edited by Bernard Comrie.” “Arabic sticks out like a sore thumb in comparative Semitic linguistics because of its almost (too perfect) algebraic-looking grammar, i.e., root and pattern morphology.” - Professor Alan S Kaye. The World’s Major Languages (p 665) Edited by Bernard Comrie. “It is so algebraic that some scholars have accused the medieval Arab grammarians of contriving some artificiality about it in its classical form.” - Professor Alan S Kaye. The World’s Major Languages (p 665) Edited by Bernard Comrie. In other words, they got jealous because Arabic is so perfect, so they came up with false conspiracy theories to explain why it is so unusually more perfect than any other language! A FEW EXAMPLES OF THE POWER OF ARABIC For example, the root KTB (ك ت ب) has to do with ‘writing’. In Form I (the simplest…) … [replace this with your examples/explanation] “A recent study turned up 400 ‘common’ Arabic loanwords in English.” -The World’s Major Languages (p 665). That study is based on: • Random House Dictionary of the English Language • Webster’s Third New International Dictionary • Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. “After Latin script, the Arabic alphabet is the most widely used script ever invented. It is used to write a vast number of different languages such as: Urdu, Turkish, Persian, Pashto, Hausa, Swahili, Malay, and over 100+ other languages.” - Professor Alan S Kaye. The World’s Major Languages (p 673) Edited by Bernard Comrie. Arabic is the oldest continuously spoken language in the world! Arabic linguists in the early Islamic history developed sophisticated linguistic theories that far exceed and predate any Western language/linguistic scholarship. Arabic linguistics is the first ever serious academic study of any human language! Every successive generation of Muslims further developed Arabic grammar based on the earlier theories. Arabic linguist & scholar Fadil al-Samirrai (فاضل السامرائي), who is arguably the greatest living expert and authority on Arabic language, has written extensively on the amazing features of Quranic Arabic. Hi books, taught all over the world, document newly discovered amazing facts and wisdoms about Quranic Arabic! He’s on RU-vid (ru-vid.com). His research is absolutely mind blowing! Every Arabic linguist uses the primary sources of Arabic language: the unchanged Quran as well as the words of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Hadith), and, of course, the Arabic poetry. The first Arabic dictionary predates the first English dictionary by over 11 centuries! The first Arabic dictionary, Kitāb al-‘Ayn, was compiled in the second century of Islam (8th Century AD) by Arabic linguist al-Khalīl ibn ’Ahmad al-Farāhīdī. By comparison, the first English dictionary was in the 17th Century (AD). In 1604, Robert Cawdrey published the first English dictionary which only contained 3,000 words. Arabic, an ancient language, describes technology more accurately than English. You can create new vocab from ancient roots going back thousands of years to create new vocab to fit new concepts (especially science/engineering/tech) based on rules of morphology (pattern). I teach this in my Quranic Linguistics Level One textbook (Intro Arabic Morphology). If you read a computer science, engineering, or mathematics book in Arabic, you’ll be amazed at how accurately Arabic describes scientific and technical concepts. For example, the English word “computer” in English simply means something/someone who computes. However, Arabic gives you at least two choices: (1) You can say hāsib (حاسِب) which is someone/something that calculates/computes. (2) You can use hāsoob (حاسوب) which is someone/something that calculates/computes a lot. This word is on a pattern which is dedicated for nouns of intensity (اسم المبالغة). Some of the beautiful names of Allah are on this pattern. So, which one of the above two words is more appropriate to describe a computer? Obviously, the second one. Taking advantage of this built-in feature of morphological semantics, the Modern Arabs decided to use the word hāsoob (حاسوب) for computer, which as indicated above, means someone/something that calculates/computes a lot. Excellent choice indeed. We know that modern computers perform millions of calculations per second. This is something unique to Arabic which is an ancient language going back thousands of years. In my Quranic Linguistics series, I’ve dedicated an entire unit to Morphological Semantics. Arabic morphology is amazing. Most Advanced Language No language comes close to the advanced morphology, semantics, grammar, and rhetoric of the Arabic language. In fact, it is so advanced that some medieval non-Muslim scholars were in denial. They came up with conspiracy theories to explain why Arabic is so advanced and sophisticated. The only exception would of course be languages that are sisters of Arabic because they have essentially very similar morphology. These are Semitic languages such as Hebrew, Aramaic (language of Jesus), Syriac, etc. Because of the superiority of the Arabic and Semitic languages, it is interesting that the Torah, Gospel, and Quran are all revealed in Semitic languages. These languages are multi-dimensional in nature due to their highly sophisticated and advanced morphology, syntax, inflection, and semantics that produces eloquence and depth that is simply not possible in any other language.

Most importantly the Quran are the words of Allah. If you use them and read them you will become closer to Allah. The first human Adam was taught by Allah the names of all things and then showed them to the angels and told them to inform Him of these names if they are truthful. Surat Al Baqarah verses 31-33 There are literally eleven verses in the Quran praising and exclusivizing the Arabic language as the only perfect truthful tongue in order that thereby you will believe, be pious, believe and think properly. This is the reason why the enemies of Islam hate Arabic so much and try to hide it, making it inaccessible to the general public. But now Allah has decreed that we are all able to access anything on RU-vid❤ Both of the greatest scholars Imam Shafei and Ibn Taymiyya hold that learning Arabic is obligatory on every Muslim. Lastly, from its inception the British empire insisted that all of their conquered territories read, write and speak English This is still a sign of their hold on many Arab and African nations. They fear that Muslim civilizations will spread Arabic and with that comes the entire Islamic civilization.

The Wakaf symbol 'nūn' refers to agreement. You might see it in a good Al Qur'ān below an 'aīn letter. Thanks all

I AM born in England therefore the keys are in English. If you prefer the keys to be in your native language please adapt it. Use Google translate software 🤗

السلام عليكم

My only goals surrounding Arabic are to read the Quran without reading my English translation and speaking with other Muslims when I travel to Iraq or Dubai. What is the best way for me to learn Arabic to accomplish these two goals?

There is a ayat in the Quran that states every letter a person reads in the Quran that person gets 10 good deeds.😳

They didn't know that allah is the truth and the truth is god, They didn't know that grantor of dominion is one of his attributes god

Only Urdu language has the power to do justice to the translation of Arabic Qur'an. So Urdu language stand out among the rest of languages to come close to translation of Arabic Qur'an. But original Arabic has no substitute. But Urdu can support me to understand Arabic Qur'an

English is a Semitic language because it’s derived from words from the Quran. Spanish is a Semitic language. It’s also is influenced by the Quran. The word choir is derived from the word Quran. In Spanish that same word is qura. From the qura you get qurason which is heart.

Nope 41:44. Read it for yourself 😊

What better way to colonize a people

What a bunch of nonsense... The caliph Uthman had his goons break the ribs of Ibn Masud because Ibn Masud accused Uthman of "deceit" when he compiled a quran that he personally approved of simply to make it easier for him to govern. Abu Bakr had ALREADY compiled a quran just a few years earlier. Wanna know who actually never had a compiled quran? The silly prophet who invented the book. The prophet who invented the book allowed seven ahruf, and Uthman got rid of them, so who was correct? The prophet who gave them, or the caliph who got rid of them? And still today there are over 30+ Arabic quran, and you're telling me that's simple to understand? Lol...hafs quran and warsh quran aren't even the exact same, so all of the "dot for dot" and "letter for letter" talk is pure nonsense, and these dawah guys know that, they just love the attention.
