Arabic Language as Sacred views

Arabic was chosen by Allah, and the Muslim Holy Scripture is written entirely in Arabic.

Therefore, every Muslim must learn to read and speak Arabic, the language of the prophet, in order to be able to
understand and interpret the word of Allah through prayer and reading the Quran.

Because Arabic is considered the authentic language and THE language of the prophet, it is vital that every Muslim learn
to speak Arabic in order to understand the Quran.

"How can humankind resist the beauty of this language, with its logic and unique brilliance? Even the Arab's
neighbors, people they've conquered, have fallen under the charm of this language." Sigrid Hunke (1913-1999)

the Arabic language and culture have expanded internationally over the centuries, they have become a source of
fascination and interest for many people, with some saying it is the world's most beautiful language.

Arabic, a Semitic language that is thousands of years old, is known as the one and only language of the Quran and the
official language of Islamic countries.

But, the sphere of influence enjoyed by this language is actually much larger. Islamic civilization has crossed every border
and has become part of every culture on the planet.

Arabic saw a rapid expansion during the Middle Ages and its heritage has extended well beyond Islam into the arts,
Arabic literature (the writings of Avicenna, Arabic poetry, etc.), science, cuisine, traditions, communication, and more.

Economic Growth of Arabic-Speaking Countries

Arabic is the official language of over 20 countries, and has nearly 300 million native speakers. Economically, these
countries have grown quickly in a short amount of time, and the Arab world has a combined GDP of $2.5 trillion.

With a rapidly emerging consumer base, potential trade prospects, and profitable business partners, countries in the Arab
region represent a great opportunity for businesses looking to globally expand. Many of these countries, such as the
United Arab Emirates (UAE), are deeply involved in global trade, and are among the largest exporters and importers in
the world.

High Business Demand for the Arabic Language

The preferred communication methods in Arabic speaking countries are high context. That means that communication is
based around the underlying context and tone in a message. This high context communication stands in contrast with
many Western languages, making it more difficult for international businesses to navigate the Arab market.

In this respect, Arabic is vital for any external global businesses that want to build and maintain healthy, long lasting
relationships with Arab consumers and organizations.

Despite the only growing importance of Arabic, the Western world has been ill-prepared in meeting the high demand for
Arabic speakers. In the United States, a study found that roughly 32,000 out of 21 million college students studied Arabic.
That number has declined since 2009, and is being rapidly outpaced by those learning Chinese and Japanese.
