Message from the Head of the Department of Arabic Language


- 2019/11/25

All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon His Trustworthy Messenger, Muhammad ibn Abdullah, and upon his good, purified family. To proceed:

Arabic is a language that Almighty Allah honored by revealing His Book in it and preserving it by His Power. It is an expressive language that can precisely depict the subtleties of the self and the inner secrets of the conscience. I do not think I exaggerate when I say that the expressive capacity of Arabic surpasses other languages ​​in accuracy and depth. We hope to be worthy of the trust which we hold for future generations, by presenting to coming generations the bright image of Arabic language. This will make them feel proud to belong to it, because a living nation is always proud of its language and cherishes the sense of belonging to it. It seeks to spread its heritage and culture so as to contribute something meaningful to the conscience of humanity. We hope that the image we present of our language is also contemporary; it does not stop at the threshold of heritage, but seeks to connect with it, converse with it, and add to it.

May Allah help us all to serve the Arabic language, Islam, and Muslims. All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
