Re: Making Arabic our National Language
What’s your problem?
I don’t mean that all Muslims should give up their own languages and start speaking Arabic, that would be boring but as well as living our own distinct cultures which makes the world so much more interesting we should also learn Arabic so that as well as our ethnic languages we can speak our spiritual language.
You can’t imagine how heart-warming it feels when you get an Afro-Caribbean brother come up to you and offer you some dates during Iftaar time on the bus/tram and tries making conversation in Arabic or just the few phrases, or if it’s speaking to a brother or sister from the Philippines, it really bonds us together.
