Arabic terms and their meanings. Status of Arabic in Islam (full version) Peace and blessings in Arabic
Perhaps every language has its own set expressions, and, of course, the richest vocabulary of the Arabic language is no exception. In Arabic there are phraseological units that are widely popular due to the fact that they have religious basis. We are talking about such stable expressions as: inshaallah, mashallah and al-hamdulillah. Their oral use does not raise any questions, unlike their display in writing. The reason for this is that the Russian language does not have the same letters and sounds that Arabic has. And therefore, first of all, you need to understand that not all Arabic words can be correctly written and read in Russian.
Insha Allah. This phrase consists of three Arabic words: “in” (ان), a conditional particle meaning “if”; the verb “shaa” (شاء) - “to wish” and the proper name - “Allah” (الله). Here we will dwell a little on the name of the Almighty, consider how it was formed. The root or basis of this word is “ilahun” (اله), which means “god.” Since we are Muslims and by god we mean the true and only God, we added the article al ال to this word, which in Arabic serves as a particle that gives certainty when talking about something specific. (ا), with which the word “ilahun” begins, was dropped for ease, and as a result the word الله (Allah) was formed, and the first letter of this word is hamzatul-wasli (همزة الوصل) - ا, this is a letter that has a vowel, if the speech begins with this word, and if the word starting with this letter falls in the middle of the speech, the letter loses its vowel. In addition, in the word اه (Allah) the last letter ه has no analogue in the Russian language, but the English one gives such a sound. the letter h, for example, in the word hello. Therefore, as was said at the very beginning, not all Arabic words can be written and read correctly in Russian, but more or less correct options would be: “in shaa-llah” and “in shaa Allah.” ”or with a slight distortion “in shaa-llah” and “in shaa Allah”.
Mashallah. This phrase also consists of three words: (ما شاء الله). Therefore, the following options will be more correct: “Masha-l-Lah” and “Masha-Allah” or, with a slight distortion, “Masha-l-Lah” and “Masha-Allah”. The meaning of this phraseological unit is “[how wonderful] what Allah willed.”
Al-hamdulillah. This phrase consists of two words: الحمد لله, which translates as “all praise is to Allah.” In the word الحمد (“all praise”), there is a letter “kha” (ح), which is not found in either Russian or English languages. Therefore, here, at least, when writing, one cannot do without distortion. Close to the correct one would be “al-hamdu li-l-Lyah” or with a slight distortion “al-hamdu li-l-Lyah”.
I would like to note once again that writing these words (with letters of the Russian alphabet) is not a matter of principle. Writing differently from what is suggested here will not be a sin or even an undesirable action. The most important thing is that there is no neglect when writing or pronouncing.
There is a necessary etiquette that we must observe when writing the names of our righteous predecessors. These are the great authorities of religion and they deserve a certain amount of respect.
Most people have the habit of abbreviating prayers for them as “r.a.” and "a.s."
Much worse than this is the use of the acronym “s.a.s.” in relation to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The greatest man on earth deserves more respect than that.
“Writing an abbreviation instead of the full spelling of “sallallahu alayhi wa sallam” - may Allah bless him and grant him peace - is undesirable. According to Hadith scholars." (Ibn Salah, p. 189. “Tadribu Ravi” 2/22)
“Those who wanted to save ink by using the abbreviated salawat on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had painful consequences.” (“al-Kawlul Badi” p. 494)
Nowadays, completely writing “sallallahu alayhi wa sallam”, “raziyallahu anhu”, “rahimahullah” or “alaihi ssalaam” does not take so much time or energy.
Someone can even use a ready-made key function for this - the point is that it is printed in full form.
“Hadith scholars encouraged the authors to write the expression “sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam” in full, and also to pronounce orally what they wrote.” (“Tadribu Ravi”, 2/20, “al-Kawlyul Badi”, p. 495)
Great reward
The famous Tabiyeen Ja'far al-Sadiq, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
"Angels continue to send blessings to those who wrote “may Allah have mercy on him” or “may Allah bless him and greet him” ", as long as the ink is retained on the paper ». (Ibn Qayyim in “Jilaul Afkham”, p. 56. “al-Kawlyul Badi”, p. 484. “Tadribu Ravi”, 2/19)
Sufyan Savri, may Allah have mercy on him, the famous Mujahid said:
“It is of sufficient benefit for those who disseminate hadith that they continuously receive blessings for themselves as long as the expression “Allah bless him and grant him peace” remains written on paper." (“al-Kawlul Badi”, p. 485)
Allama Sahavi, may Allah have mercy on him, cited many life experiences on this topic from various hadith transmitters. (“al=Qawlyul Badi”, pp. 486-495. Ibn Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, “Jilaul Afkham”, p. 56)
Among them is the following case:
The son of Allama Munziri, Sheikh Muhammad ibn Munziri, may Allah have mercy on him, was seen in a dream after his death. He said:
“I entered Paradise and kissed the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and he said to me: “Whoever writes with his hands "Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace," will be with me in heaven »
Allama Sahawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “ This message was transmitted through a reliable chain. We hope for the mercy of Allah, thanks to which He will bestow this dignity on us.” (“al-Kawlul Badi”, page 487)
Amine.
Al-Khattib al-Baghdadi, may Allah have mercy on him, also reported several similar dreams. (“al-Jamiu li Akhlyaki Ravi”, 1/420-423)
One more note
Some of us have the habit of writing “alayhi salam” (peace be upon him) when mentioning the name of the Messenger of Allah, d
Scientists have conveyed that it is not good to have such a habit. (“Fathul Mugis”; footnote to “al-Kawlyul Badi”, p. 158)
In fact, Ibn Salah and Imam Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on them both, declared it undesirable (makruh). (“Muqaddima ibn Salah”, pp. 189-190, “Sharh Sahih Muslim”, p. 2 and “Tadrib wa Takrib”, 2/22)
The same applies to the one who says: “Alayhi salat” (blessings be upon him). The reason is that we are commanded in the Qur'an to ask for both things: And Salat (blessing) and Salam (peace) to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. (Sura 33, verse 56)
Allah Almighty said in Holy Quran(meaning):
إِنَّ اللَّـهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
“Verily, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet. O you who believe! Bless him and greet him in peace."(Sura 33, verse 56)
When we say “alaihi salaam” we are only sending “salaam” without “salat”.
If someone has the habit of speaking occasionally "Alayhi salam" (peace be upon him), and in some cases “alayhi salat” (blessings be upon him), then this will not be considered undesirable (makruh).
Let us write and pronounce salawat in full, without abbreviation, whenever we remember the name of our beloved Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
The note:
“Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam” (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) - it is customary to say exclusively when mentioning the name of our beloved Messenger of Allahand Allah bless him and greet him.
“Razi Allahu anhu” (may Allah be pleased with him) - in relation to the companions of the Prophet, dand Allah bless him and greet him.
“Rahimahullah” (may Allah have mercy on him) - in relation to scientists, righteous people who know Allah
“Alaihi ssalaam” (peace be upon him) - in relation to the rest of the Prophets, peace be upon them.
Imam al-Suyuty said: “And it was said that the first one who shortened the spelling of salawat in the form of “s..a.s.” had his hand cut off.” (See “Tadrib al-Rawi” 2/77)
Tabiyin (plural, Arabic)تابعين ) -followers. The term "tabi"in" is used in relation to Muslims who have seen the Sahabah.
Arab culture is incredibly interesting and at the same time very complex. She never ceases to amaze and has many fans in all corners of the world. You may not know Arabic, but perhaps everyone has heard the cry “In sha Allah.” How is it translated? The answer should be sought in religious sources.
A little about Arabic
At first glance, Arabic may seem extremely difficult to learn and understand. For beginners, it is important to familiarize yourself with the theoretical part. So, given that almost a quarter of a billion people on the planet speak this language, one can judge its widespread use. And if we add adherents of Islam who are not from the Arab world, then, one way or another, even more people encounter it. It is not for nothing that this is one of the working languages of the UN.
Arabic belongs to the aphasic family of languages. It includes 5 official ones, as well as a myriad of local dialects. All of them are united by the so-called literary language, which is standardized and contains a set of words that reflect the idea of the modern world.
Speaking about phonetics, it is worth noting the system of consonant phonemes, among which the most common are glottal and interdental. As for pronunciation, the standard for reading the Koran is taken as a basis. But in different regions it can differ radically. Thus, it would be unfair to talk about any single pronunciation.
"In sha Allah": how to translate
Each language has its own unique features. If we talk about Arabic, it is worth noting its inextricable connection with religion, which determines the frequent use of the phrase “In sha Allah”. How is it translated? Literally it means “if God wills.” Initially, this statement was exclusively prayerful. But it gradually migrated into everyday speech and became a fairly common interjection.
The famous theologian Ibn Abbas argued that a Muslim is simply obliged to say “If Allah wills” whenever talking about future events. This is due to the fact that a person cannot be sure of anything, and only the Almighty knows everything.
Use of the word
The phrase “In sha Allah” has long gone beyond the scope of religious rituals. Probably everyone knows how it is translated, but its use cannot always be assessed unambiguously. In most cases this is a future tense marker. The main meaning is humility before Allah. In this context, the expression can be compared with the usual “if everything goes well”, “if God willing”.
Sometimes "In sha Allah" is a mild form of refusal. For example, such a response may come to an inconvenient or difficult request. On the one hand, the limits of decency were observed, and on the other, the speaker makes it clear that he does not intend to provide assistance.
"In sha Allah": how to spell it
Seeing a word written in Arabic, the average person will only see a combination of incomprehensible sticks and hooks. It’s the same with the expression “In sha Allah”. How to spell it correctly? "إن شاء الله", and if you look at it in more detail, you get the following:
Another popular expression
Just as often as "In sha Allah" another word is used in Arabic. Literally it is translated as “Allah wanted it this way”, “this is the will of Allah”. This exclamation also comes from the Koran. In everyday Arabic, it represents joy, approval, praise. This is a kind of manifestation of gratitude to Allah and humility before his will.
Use
Usually Arabs and residents of other Muslim countries say “Masha Allah” if they receive some good news. If we draw parallels with the Russian language, exclamations such as “Glory to God!” come to mind. If we are talking about praise, the analogy is “Well done!”
Also, this expression is often pronounced about admiration for someone. A cute child, a beautiful girl, a smart schoolboy, someone’s achievement or good fortune - all this is accompanied by the interjection “Masha Allah”. In this case, it serves as a talisman against the evil eye. By the way, in some countries, for example in Azerbaijan, this is what children are called. Mashallah is male name, which should protect a person for the rest of his life from the evil eye and bad thoughts of others.
"Masha Allah": how to spell it
This phrase is written like this: "هَذَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ". If we take a closer look, we get the following:
If previously everyone wanted to master English, French and German, now many people dream of learning Arabic. For beginners, it may seem like a bunch of incoherent sounds and illegible symbols. However, if you set your mind to it, you can not only understand it, but also speak and write it fluently. Teachers give the following recommendations:
- For efficient work need a goal. So, first, decide why you are learning the language (religious motive, travel, communication, self-development, etc.).
- Stock up on enough study material. It is not enough to download 1 textbook. Books should belong to different authors - this is the only way to find information that is convenient for you. Audio recordings with correct pronunciation are also required.
- You should start by learning the Arabic alphabet. Given its complexity, many stop at simply memorizing transcription and pronunciation. However, if you intend to not only speak superficially, but also read Arabic, this stage cannot be avoided.
- For the learning process to be successful, language practice is needed. It’s good if you manage to communicate with a native speaker (at least via Skype). Otherwise, focus on watching movies without translation, news reports, and listening to songs. Also try to speak Arabic out loud.
- If you have the opportunity to attend language courses, be sure to take advantage of it. Live communication with a teacher brings greater success than independent learning from books.
- When creating a schedule of classes, start from the fact that the intensive course involves about 4 classes per week lasting 2-4 hours.
- You should not separate vocabulary from grammar. You need to expand your vocabulary while learning the rules. By memorizing at least 10-15 new words a week, you will be able to build speech structures from them.
- While studying vocabulary, you will come across the specifics of Arabic dictionaries. They do not indicate the whole word, but only the root.
- Be patient and don't give up at the first setback. According to statistics, out of 50 people who begin to study oriental languages, only 5 complete the task.
In any business, the main thing is attentiveness, desire and diligence. If you have these qualities, learning Arabic will not be difficult for you.
In the name of Allah, Most Merciful to everyone in this world and only to those who believe on the Day of Judgment! Praise be to Allah Who said: “Verily, We have made it the Quran in Arabic [language] so that you may understand.”(43: 3)!
Adopted in 73 AH. rule of the entire Muslim world to the caliph ‘Abd al-Malik managed to carry out a number of important government reforms. So, in 76 AH. a unified monetary system was introduced. In the same year, the central mint was founded in Damascus, and a few years later arab coins have already entered into circulation throughout the country. At the same time, the structure of the government was properly reorganized and the mechanism and system for collecting taxes was adjusted. However, the epochal transformation during this period, which served as an impetus for the further development of Islamic science and thought, was the proclamation of a single state language. All official correspondence, which up to that time had been carried out in different languages - for example, Greek in Syria, Farsi in Iraq, Coptic in Egypt - was translated exclusively into Arabic.
Subsequently, not only the Arabs, but also all followers of Islam were united by the Arabic language as the language of scientific thought. Philology of the Arabic language became a compulsory scientific discipline in the general education system in the Caliphate. All research on the most important sciences, such as mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, physics, etc. (not to mention Sharia sciences) were carried out in Arabic. The works of ancient Greek thinkers began to be translated into Arabic on a large scale. Subsequently, the wealth of scientific, artistic and religious polemical literature in Arabic rapidly accumulated, strengthening the position of this language. In a word, for the first generations of Muslims, Arabic, regardless of their nationalities, was the language in which they understood their Religion and learned about their world. On it they communicated, conducted public and state affairs, and created literary works.
This historical reality testifies to the high importance attached to the Arabic language by former Muslims. The reasons are definitely clear, because everything that has developed under the conditions of strengthening Sharia statehood has a priority position in Islam. However, today's Muslims have forgotten the position that Arabic should occupy in their lives. Therefore, with the help of Allah, we will try to talk about its importance and how we should give it its due.
At the beginning, I would like to emphasize that an undeniable advantage for followers of any religion is knowledge of the language in which its primary sources were presented and recorded. Mainly this frees them from the narrow boundaries of understanding of translators, which often distort true essence information. However, not all people today can boast that they have the opportunity to study the language of their religion. Muslims, praise be to Allah, in our time are the heirs of well-preserved libraries with thousands of volumes explanatory dictionaries Arabic language, treatises on grammar and other philological studies that were compiled throughout the history of Islam. Interesting story brought about this Muhammad al-Sharif:
“Back in my youth, I attended a month-long course da'vata(Islamic call). Then one of our teachers of Islamic sciences, prof. Mahmud Ghazi from Islamabad, Pakistan, told us about his official trip to the Vatican. There his delegation met with a group of high priests. Prof. Ghazi asked one of them: “Do you have any words that you know for sure, one hundred percent, that Jesus Christ said them?” The priest felt a little ashamed, but he honestly admitted that there was not a single word that could reliably go back to Jesus - the language he spoke was lost forever.
“What about Muslims? - The priest picked up the expression. “Do you have any words that you are one hundred percent sure were spoken by Muhammad?” Prof. Ghazi smiled. He replied: “Besides the fact that we have libraries of books with words that we have no doubt about the utterance of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him!), we also have a science called "tajweed". This science teaches how to pronounce every syllable, every vowel exactly as the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did!”
.The main advantage of the Arabic language is that Allah Almighty revealed in it the Last Scripture - the Koran, as He says about this in the Koran itself: "This - verses The books are clear. Verily, We have sent it down [in the form of] the Arabic Quran, so perhaps you will begin to understand [its meaning]» (12: 1 – 2). He also said: “... We sent it down [in the form of] an Arabic law”(13: 37).
Despite the fact that there are about 15,000 on earth different languages, The Quran, which was revealed “to clarify all things to the Muslims, to be for them correct guidance, mercy and glad tidings” (16: 89), is in Arabic. Why?
Hafiz Ibn Kathir gives this explanation: “Arabic is the most eloquent of languages, the most understandable and the widest [in terms of] the means of conveying meanings that can only arise in the head. Therefore, the most venerable Book was sent down in the most venerable language, to the most venerable Messenger, through the most venerable Angel, in the most venerable part of the earth, and its revelation began in the most venerable month of the year, that is, in Ramadan» .
Allah Himself calls the Arabic language understandable, accessible to humans and facilitating the perception of information. He said: “... This is the Arabic language, understandable”(16: 103); and: “Verily, We have simplified it (the Qur'an) in your language so that they may understand.” (44: 58).
Among other things, Allah directly states that the Qur'an is intended for those who understand it: “The message sent down from the All-Merciful and Merciful is [this] Scripture. It is presented in detail verses[in the form of] the Arabic Koran for the people who understand"(41:2 – 3). “That is, for those who understand it in Arabic,” says one tafsirs. This one alone verse is a sufficient indication of the high need of Muslims to understand the Arabic language.
Many of our righteous predecessors spoke about the need to study Arabic. It is reported that ‘Umar b. al-Khattab(may Allah be pleased with him!) said: “Learn Arabic and teach it to others!”. Ubaya b. Ka'b(may Allah be pleased with him!) said: “Learn Arabic, just as you learn to memorize the Koran!” .
Imamal-Shafi'isaid: “Every Muslim should study Arabic to the best of his ability in order to testify in it that there is no god but Allah alone, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, in order to read the Book of Allah Almighty in it, in order to pronounce [words of] remembrance , which was charged to him as a duty from words of exaltation ( takbira), and he was commanded from the words of glorification ( tasbiha), tashahhuda and other words. Everything new that he learns from the science of the language, which Allah made the language of the one who completed the prophethood, and in which he revealed the last Scripture, will benefit him.”
Hafiz al-Bayhaqi said: “For people it has become fardom(duty) learning Arabic. Verily, this refers to collective responsibilities ( furud al-kifaya), in order to understand the commands and prohibitions of Allah (Almighty and Great is He!), His promises and threats, in order to understand what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) explained and reported.”.
At the same time, Islam does not oblige us to immerse ourselves in all the intricacies of this language. Not a single person has enough time for this throughout their entire life. We need to study it at least to the extent that we could speak it and understand the Koran. The rest is necessary for those who are going to specialize in this to know.
It is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) said: “Study your genealogies to the extent that you need to to maintain family ties, then complete; study Arabic to the extent that you need to understand the Book of Allah, then complete; learn about the stars what you need to navigate the darkness on land and sea, then complete.” .
Abu Hamid al-Ghazali said: “Limit your immersion in the science of the [Arabic] language to that by which you will begin to understand the speech of the Arabs and speak their language. [Limit the study of] rare words in it to [the study of] rare words of the Quran and rare words hadith ov, and leave a recess in their [subtleties]. Limit your grammar to what relates to the Book (Koran) and Sunnah, for there is no [such] science where there would not be a sufficient, average and deep [level].”
At the same time, it cannot be said that a Muslim only needs to limit himself to studying the Arabic language and acquiring useful knowledge through it. No, a Muslim should also speak (if possible, of course) only in Arabic. If there is an opportunity to speak in Arabic, then you should speak in it and not give preference to another language in this case.
Muslim scholars have been known to speak negatively of those who unnecessarily spoke a language other than Arabic. Sheikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah wrote:
“The righteous predecessors did not stop condemning the change in the foundations of the Arabs even in matters mu'amalat(affairs and relationships not related to ritual worship), such as: talking unnecessarily in a language other than Arabic. This is reported from Malika, al-Shafi'i And Ahmad. In particular, Malik said: “Whoever speaks a language other than Arabic in our mosque will be taken out of it.” At the same time, those who speak them are allowed to speak other languages, but this is allowed only to the extent necessary. This is unnecessarily condemned in order to preserve Islamic customs."[ 11 ] .
He also wrote:
“As for the habit of speaking a language other than Arabic, which is a symbol of Islam and the language of the Koran, which is already transforming into a custom in some cities, families, homes, groups of friends, in markets, as well as among some rulers, officials and scientists, there is no doubt that she is blameworthy ( makrooh), for truly, [this habit] comes from likeness to non-Arabs ( at-tashabbuh bi-l-a'ajim), the condemnability of which has already been discussed.
In the old days, wherever Muslims moved, be it to Sham and Egypt, where Greek was spoken, or to Iraq and Khorasan, where Farsi was widespread, or to Maghreb, whose population spoke Berber, they introduced Arabic speech everywhere. As a result, [Arabic] became predominant among the populations of these areas, both among Muslims and among infidels. This is how things used to be in Khorasan. However, then its inhabitants gave up in terms of language and resumed communication in Farsi, which subsequently again became dominant among them, and Arabic became an abandoned language for most of them. There is no doubt that there is nothing good in this.
The qualitative path is to integrate the custom of speaking Arabic so that the youth learn it in their homes and schools, and [thus] raise the banner of Islam and its followers. For Muslims, this will make it easier for them to understand the meaning of the Book (Quran), Sunnahs and the words of predecessors. [This technique is better] than [likening] a person who is accustomed to one language, and then suddenly wants to learn another, which, of course, will be a burden to him.
Know that the habit of speaking [Arabic] has an influence on the mind, character and religion. His influence is expressed in his resemblance to the first generation of this Ummah- the generation of the companions [of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,] and their followers, and [thanks to] similarity with them, the thinking, religion and character of [a person] improves.
In addition, the Arabic language itself is part of the Religion, and knowledge of it is a mandatory requirement. Understanding the Book (Quran) and Sunnahs- this is a duty, and they cannot be understood without understanding the Arabic language; the same thing, without which the obligatory will not be perfect, is also obligatory...
The essence of what was said is indicated by a message from Abu Bakr b. Abi Shayby:
- 'Isa b. Yusuf told me from Saura, and that one from ‘Umar b. Yazid who said: " 'Umar wrote Abu Musa al-Ash'ari(may Allah have mercy on him!): “... Study Sunnah and learn Arabic, study the Quran in Arabic, since it is in Arabic!
In a different hadith it is reported that ‘Umar(may Allah be pleased with him!) said: “Study Arabic, for it is part of your Religion, and study the law of inheritance ( al-faraid), for it is part of your Religion!
Decree ‘Umara(May Allah be pleased with him!) Studying Arabic and Shariah combines [two] important [components]. Religion involves knowledge of words and action; knowledge of Arabic is the path to understanding the words of [Religion], and knowledge Sunnahs“This is the path to knowledge of the actions of [Religion].”
May Allah have mercy Ibn Taymiyyah. Look how relevant and useful his words are. He pointed out an important feature of the custom of speaking Arabic - its positive impact on the mind, religion and character of a person.
The fact that the Arabic language contributes to the moral purification of a person was also said ‘Umar b. al-Khattab(may Allah be pleased with him!). He is reported to have said: “Learn Arabic, for truly it brings order to the mind and adds courage!” .
It is also noteworthy that Allah Almighty mentions the linguistic property of the Quran along with the terrifying effect of its impact on humans. “... The Arabic Koran, which does not contain [any] curvature [, confusion, or inconsistency], - perhaps they will fear [unbelief]” (39: 28) - says the Almighty; and also: “Likewise, We sent it down [in the form of] the Arabic Koran and explained in it the types of threats - perhaps they will fear [polytheism] or [the Koran] will become a reminder for them [of the death of those peoples that preceded them ]" (20: 113).
Along with the, Sheikh ul-Islam proposed a promising program for the revival of the Arabic language. This program is to instill this language in the younger generation. Muslims should think about this because, unfortunately, many of them, due to their ignorance, do not see any prospects for their children in teaching them Arabic. They believe that there is no practical benefit or success for them in life from a correct understanding of the Quran and Sunnahs.
However, a correct understanding of the Quran and Sunnah is the only thing that guarantees a Muslim success in this life, and most importantly, in the eternal life. For the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) said: “Verily, Allah with the help of this Book (Koran) elevates some and humiliates others! .
If we turn to history, it will become clear that whenever the Arabic language was forced out of Muslim society, it began to morally degrade and was exposed to enemy military and political expansion. One of our sisters Fatima Barakatullah writes:
“...As we see, those Muslim societies that do not speak Arabic are generally the least educated in Islam. This lack of education, in turn, makes them more susceptible to deviating from the right path.
This is known to the enemies of Islam, who have worked hard to separate Muslims from the Arabic language and the Koran. Even during the French occupation of Algeria, the French leadership declared: “We will never be able to suppress the Algerians as long as they read the Koran and speak Arabic. Therefore, we should eliminate the Arabic Koran from among them and remove the Arabic language from their speech.”
Unfortunately, this idea was realized by Turkey's secular leader Kemal Ataturk. Having destroyed the Islamic caliphate, he ordered that the Koran be read only in Turkish, including in prayers, and replaced the Arabic alphabet with the Latin one.”
At the beginning of XX V. The Arabic language was widespread in Dagestan, as evidenced by the mere fact of the existence here at that time of periodicals in Arabic, such as the newspaper "Jaridatu Dagestan", magazine "Bayan al-Hakaiq". However, the Soviet policy of eradicating everything Islamic and Arabic has led to the fact that today Dagestan society has degraded; most of it is absolutely not interested in the Arabic language, and tashabbuh bi-l-kuffar manifests itself in everything, including in thinking.
That's why we all need to learn Arabic. We must teach it to our children without fail. It's not as difficult as it seems at first glance. It is enough to study two to three hours a week. I don’t think it will be a problem for anyone to find that much time. Moreover, you can cut out some useless things from your schedule, such as idle conversations with friends, the same communication on the Internet, watching TV, etc.
May Allah help us in this!
And I ask Allah to make this article written only for the sake of His Noble Face. And everything that is correct in this article is from Allah, and everything that is not correct is from me and from the shaitan. And our last call is praise to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!
