Why to Learn Arabic Language?


Why to Learn Arabic Language?
There could be enormous reasons for learning Arabic Language, some of them are as follows:

1. If You are a Muslim:
If you are a Muslim, then there is a great need to learn Arabic Language. The following are the main reasons why a Muslim should learn Arabic language:
  • Understand Quran KareemThe book (Quran Kareem) that is revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is in Arabic. Most of the non-Arab Muslims learn how to read this great book, but cannot understand the messages and guidance that Allah has given in the verses. Isn't this a great loss? 
  • Understand SalahThe Salah / Namaz that is offered five times a day has all the words in Arabic. There is not a single word that is in English, Urdu, Hindi, Malay or Bangali. If you don't know Arabic, you will not be able to understand what you are saying in front of the Lord of the Universe. The Taraweeh is also in Arabic language. The Khudba of Eid and Friday prayers are also in Arabic. Not understanding all this Isn't a great loss?
  • Understand Adhan and Prayers: The Adhan is also in Arabic. The Quranic prayers (Duaein) and Prayers taught by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are also in Arabic. Learning Arabic will enable you to understand these.
  • Help during Umrah and Haj Pilgrimages: A lot of Muslims find problems while communicating in Saudi Arabic during Hajj and Umrah. They cannot say what they want to say. So if you know Arabic, it will help you during Hajj and Umrah stays in Saudi Arabia. 

All Muslims should know Arabic, if they want to Understand Quran and Salah, in particular

2. If You want to Settle in Middle East:
If you are planning to settle in Middle East or you are living in Middle East then you need to learn Arabic as the locals communicate in this language and most of the documentation at the government level is done in Arabic.
