Ruling on Learning Arabic
Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said:
"So verily the Arabic language is from the religion so knowing it is Fard Waajib for indeed understanding the Book and the Sunnah is Waajib and they are not understood except by understanding the arabic language and that which is needed to fulfill an obligation is itself an obligation. So you have from it that which is waajib upon each individual and you have that which is waajib alal kifaayah." |
|
Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said:
?It is known that learning and teaching Arabic is Fard Alal Kifaayah ?.?
Al-Fataawa 252/32 |

Importance of learning Arabic
Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said:
?And likewise for indeed Allaah revealed his book in the Arabic language and he made his messenger convey this from him in the Book and Sunnah (Hikmah) in the Arabic language?.So knowing the language becomes part of the religion and due to speaking with it (The Arabic language) it becomes easier for the people of this Deen to understand the religion of Allaah, to implement the religious ceremonies and easier to imitate the First generations from the Muhaajiroon and the Ansaar in all of their affairs.
Iqtidaa Siraatil Mustaqeem 1/406 |
|
Imaam Ash-Shafi? said?
?The language which Allaah favored was the Arabic language as he revealed his noble book in this (Arabic) and he made this the language of the seal of the prophets Muhammed. And that is why we say that it is befitting for everyone who has the ability to learn Arabic that they learn it as it is the best language.?
Iqtidaa Siraatil Mustaqeem 1/464 |

The Salaf and Grammar
Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said:
?It is known that Arabic is Fard Alal Kifaayah and the salaf used to discipline their children for making grammatical mistakes"
Al-Fataawa 252/32 |

The ruling on making it a habit to speak other than Arabic for those who know the language
Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said:
?As for making it a habit to speak other than the Arabic language which is from the signs of Islaam and the language of the Quraan so that it becomes a habit with a particular land and its people, or a household??Then there is no doubt that this is Makrooh (detested) as this is imitating the non arabs and this is Makrooh.? |
|
Look to Iqtidaa Siraatil Mustaqeem where Shaykul Islaam speaks about this subject and quotes some narrations from the salaf.

Are there only Arabic words in the Quraan?
The Scholars differ with regards to this issue but some state that the opinion of the majority of Scholars is that which Imaam Shafi' stated below and Allaah knows best.
Ibrahim (14):4
"And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then Allâh misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."
Ash-Shu'ara (26):192-195
"And truly, this (the Qur'ân) is a revelation from the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists), Which the trustworthy Rûh [Jibrael (Gabriel)] has brought down; Upon your heart (O Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)) that you may be (one) of the warners, In the plain Arabic language."
Ra'd (13):37
"And thus have We sent it (the Qur'ân) down to be a judgement of authority in Arabic. Were you (O Muhammad) to follow their (vain) desires after the knowledge which has come to you, then you will not have any Walî (protector) or defender against Allâh."
The Imaam Muhammed Idrees Ash-Shafi? said (AR-Risaalah pg 47):
?So Allaah established his proof that his Book is Arabic in every Ayaah (verse) that we have mentioned, then He emphasized this by negating (the existence) of any other language except Arabic in two verses from his Book.
He said:
An-Nahl (16):103
"And indeed We know that they (polytheists and pagans) say: "It is only a human being who teaches him (Muhammad)." The tongue of the man they refer to is foreign, while this (the Qur'ân) is a clear Arabic tongue."
And He said:
Fussilat (41):44
"And if We had sent this as a Qur'ân in a foreign language other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its Verses explained in detail (in our language)? What! (A Book) not in Arabic and (the Messenger) an Arab?" Say: "It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears, and it (the Qur'ân) is blindness for them. They are those who are called from a place far away (so they neither listen nor understand)." |

al-Hamdu-Lillaahi Rabbil-'Aalameen was-Salaatu was-Salaamu 'alaa Ashrafil-Anbiyaa.e wal-Mursaleen, wa ba'd
A note on using the Quranic Ayat quote feature:
If for example I want to use the quote feature here on salafitalk.net to quote some ayat on the Importance of knowing the arabic language, say For Example the opening Ayaat of Surah Yusuf...
eg,Ayah 1 [qn =12,1] you get
 |  | Yusuf (12):1 |
ÇáÑ Êöáúßó ÂíóÇÊõ ÇáúßöÊóÇÈö ÇáúãõÈöíäö Alif-Lâm-Râ. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings].
These are the Verses of the Clear Book (the Qur'ân that makes clear the legal and illegal things, legal laws, a guidance and a blessing). |
|
|
Ayah 2 [qn =12,2] you get
| | Yusuf (12):2 |
ÅöäøóÇ ÃóäÒóáúäóÇåõ ÞõÑúÂäðÇ ÚóÑóÈöíøðÇ áøóÚóáøóßõãú ÊóÚúÞöáõæäó Verily, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'ân in order that you may understand. |
|
|
but if you quote an ayah where the Messenger is mentioned such as Ayah 3 [qn =12,1] you get
| | Yusuf (12):3 |
äóÍúäõ äóÞõÕøõ Úóáóíúßó ÃóÍúÓóäó ÇáúÞóÕóÕö ÈöãóÇ ÃóæúÍóíúäóÇ Åöáóíúßó åóÜÐóÇ ÇáúÞõÑúÂäó æóÅöä ßõäÊó ãöä ÞóÈúáöåö áóãöäó ÇáúÛóÇÝöáöíäó We relate unto you (Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)) the best of stories through Our Revelations unto you, of this Qur'ân. And before this (i.e. before the coming of Divine Inspiration to you), you were among those who knew nothing about it (the Qur'ân). |
|
|
this is beacuse the reference database will churn out the ayah which has '(sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)' in it, (insha Allah this is something which can be changed)
As our brother Hasan as-Somali has clearly used this quote feature, insha Allah it was not his intention to us such things as '(sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)' as we have heard him countless times criticize those who use abbreviations like;
'(sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)' for sending salaams upon the messenger
' ws ' for wa 'alaikum as salaam
'786' the infamous indo-pak abbreviation for the basmalah
'jzk' for Jazak Allahu khayraa [note you are supposed to say khair at the end not just Jazak Allah]
and other such nonsense as such things are from the way of the shia and other then them and is upon the path of deviation.
Yusuf - 12:2
Verily, We have sent it down as an arabic Qur'ân in order that you may understand. |
|
Ra'd - 13:37
And thus have We sent it (the Qur'ân) down to be a judgement of authority in arabic. Were you (O Muhammad) to follow their (vain) desires after the knowledge which has come to you, then you will not have any Walî (protector) or defender. |
|
An-Nahl - 16:103
And indeed We know that they (polytheists and pagans) say: "It is only a human being who teaches him (Muhammad)." The tongue of the man they refer to is foreign, while this (the Qur'ân) is a clear arabic tongue. |
|
Ta-Ha - 20:113
And thus We have sent it down as a Qur'ân in arabic, and have explained therein in detail the warnings, in order that they may fear Allâh, or that it may cause them to have a lesson from it (or to have the honour for believing and acting on its teachings). |
|
Ash-Shu'ara - 26:195
In the plain arabic language. |
|
Az-Zumar - 39:28
An arabic Qur'ân, without any crookedness (therein) in order that they may avoid all evil which Allâh has ordered them to avoid, fear Him and keep their duty to Him. |
|
Fussilat - 41:3
A Book whereof the Verses are explained in detail; A Qur'ân in arabic for people who know. |
|
Fussilat - 41:44
And if We had sent this as a Qur'ân in a foreign language other than arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its Verses explained in detail (in our language)? What! (A Book) not in arabic and (the Messenger) an Arab?" Say: "It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears, and it (the Qur'ân) is blindness for them. They are those who are called from a place far away (so they neither listen nor understand). |
|
Ash-Shura - 42:7
And thus We have inspired unto you (O Muhammad) a Qur'ân (in arabic) that you may warn the Mother of the Towns (Makkah) and all around it. And warn of the Day of Assembling, of which there is no doubt, when a party will be in Paradise (those who believed in Allâh and followed what Allâh's Messenger brought them) and a party in the blazing Fire (Hell) (those who disbelieved in Allâh and followed not what Allâh's Messenger brought them) |
|
Az-Zukhruf - 43:3
We verily, have made it a Qur'ân in arabic, that you may be able to understand (its meanings and its admonitions). |
|
Al-Ahqaf - 46:12
And before this was the Scripture of Mûsa (Moses) as a guide and a mercy. And this is a confirming Book (the Qur'ân) in the arabic language, to warn those who do wrong, and as glad tidings to the Muhsinûn (good-doers - see V.2:112). |
|
Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamaan radiallaahu 'anhu said. "The people used to ask the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam about the good, but I used to ask him about the evil for fear that it would overtake me ..."

Previously, the following variations were automatically changed:
S AWS, ( sas), ( saws), ( saw), ( pbuh)
into (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)
The programmer has now added S AW into this list as well so hopefully this should no longer appear when quoting verses. The problem is that people use so many variations!

Jazaakallahu Khayra Ya Akanaa Al-Faadil for removing this.
And may Allaah preserve uk salafi for his husn dhann and clarifying the issue.
