Reasons Learning Arabic is Important

1. It is an Individual and Communal Obligation
   Learning Arabic is both an individual (fard al-‘ain) and a communal (fard al-kifayah) obligation for Muslims. At the individual level, every Muslim is expected to know enough Arabic to fulfill basic religious duties, such as understanding core concepts and reciting parts of the Quran. Imam Shafi’i once said: “It is obligatory upon every Muslim to learn from the Arabic language what allows him to make an effort in fulfilling his obligations.” (Irshaad al-Fuhool, p. 421). This highlights the significance of Arabic as an essential component of religious practice and personal devotion.
2. To Understand the Quran and the Sunnah
   Arabic is vital for gaining a direct understanding of the Quran and the Sunnah. The Quran was revealed in Arabic, and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) spoke Arabic. For Muslims, knowing Arabic means having the opportunity to access divine guidance directly, rather than through translations that may not capture every nuance. This is not only crucial for scholars who seek in-depth knowledge of sacred texts, but also for anyone striving to engage with Allah’s words and the teachings of the Prophet (PBUH) in their purest form.
3. To Establish a Correct Aqidah and Worldview
   Language shapes how we perceive and understand the world. The words we use play a major role in shaping our beliefs and thought processes. The Quranic Arabic contains many terms that cannot be translated into other languages without losing some of their deeper meanings and subtleties. Thus, learning Arabic helps Muslims establish a correct understanding of their faith (Aqidah) and develop a worldview grounded in the words of Allah. It helps them truly “think with the Quran”—allowing their understanding of the world to align with the divine message.
4. To Develop Intellectual Strength
   Saidina Umar ibn Al-Khattab (RA) once advised: “Learn Arabic, for it strengthens intelligence and increases noble conduct” (Al-Bayhaqi, Shu’ab Al-Iman, Vol. 4, p. 187). Learning Arabic does more than simply allow for religious understanding; it also sharpens the intellect. The process of mastering a complex language like Arabic challenges the mind, enhancing one’s ability to express ideas clearly and engage in deeper, more refined thought. By learning Arabic, Muslims learn the language of the Quran, which enriches their ability to understand and embody its concepts.
5. To Connect with the Language of Revelation
   Arabic is the language in which Allah revealed the Quran, and it is the language of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Learning Arabic allows Muslims to connect with the divine and prophetic words in a more intimate way. For many believers, it is also a matter of love—who would not want to speak the language of their beloved Prophet (PBUH) and the language chosen by Allah for His revelation?
