INTRODUCTION

Arabic language as defined by the owner of Jami’ Al-Durus Al-Arabiya is all the words Arabs use to identify
their items, and all the words which were conveyed to us. It was camouflaged or shielded by the Glorious Qur’an,
Sunnah of the Prophet, and the Arabs’ essay or exposition and poetry. Such connotation is based on what Ibn Jinni has
revealed in his book The Characteristics (Al Khasais) that language “is sounds through which each people express
themselves”

And indeed, we know that they (polytheists and pagan) say: It is only a human
being who teaches him. The tongue of the man they refer to is foreign, while
this (that is Qur’an) is a clear Arabic tongue.

The Glorious Qur’an is the last word of Allah Almighty, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) and more than 1400 years old. It is the language in which the Glorious Qur’an was revealed. It is the language
which Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) – the last of the Prophets – spoke. It is, therefore, the language in which
that preserved his sacred traditions.

Thus, the two basic sources of Islam, the Glorious Qur’an and the Sunnah, are
available in the Arabic language.

The only reason of this is that the Arabic language is the language of our religion. The Qur’an was revealed in
Arabic Allah says:

It offers a perfect pattern of the roots of words. No language other than Arabic constitutes a perfect and
composite mechanism of elementary words. The Arabic language boasts of the maximum capacity with regard to the
exposure of human feelings, emotions, thoughts, and expressions. Exceptionally expressive intellectual connotations are
present in Arabic. Linguistic diversity and depth of Arabic. Another most important characteristic of the Arabic language
is it comprises a varied exhaustiveness of all the main languages.

Since the Qur’an is the last Book of Almighty Allah that has ever descended on humankind for the aim of
eternal guidance, it is feasible to go in a language to offer deepness, multiplicity, and authority to such a text destined to
last to eternity. Some major advantages of using Arabic as the mother tongue of the Glorious Qur’an can include:

Remember, this is not an ordinary book. it is the pure word of Allah and it must be as unique, eloquent and
different as it is. The poetic depth of Arabic offers to the words of Allah the eloquence which would not be possible in
any other language.

If someone wishes to search for Islamic education and he is not a native speaker of Arabic. he needs to
specialize on the language and acquire a concrete and sound understanding of it. This will capacitate him to understand
the meanings being pointed out by the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Once he is arrayed with this ability, he will be able to extract
what the Qur’an and Sunnah impose of him and snub away from what these two sources prohibit him.

The Glorious Qur’an and Prophetic Sunnah came to us in Arabic language, these two are the primary sources of
Islam, that lead scholars to consider mastering Arabic language is an imperative and postulate to learn and understand
Islam accurately.

If we lack the knowledge of Arabic language how are we going to comprehend the commandments and
prohibitions indicated by our creator in the Glorious Qur’an?

Hassan Al-Basri one day he was interrogated, “What is your perception of the people who learn the Arabic
language?” he replied, “it is good for them; learning the language of their Prophet”. Meaning that, it is very nice for them,
because they learnt the language of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and language of the Glorious Qur’an.
