Assalaamu alaikum,

I don't see a reason why Urdu which does not represent all of Pakistan should be given the national language status. I have read that this was a mistake and opportunity lost by making urdu the national language when Pakistan was founded. Isn't it time to shift to Arabic? And which do you think is the most purest dialect of Arabic today?

I agree but dont settle on arabic dialects, why cant pakistan surpass arab countries in their arabic skills and speak pure fus-ha inshALlah? IF people wanted it and their was political will, its doable. If you love to follow the prophet, this was his language. How beautiful to speak in the same manner as our beloved prophet salallahu alayhi wassalam.

Pakistanis who learn arabic have quite a good reputation as being good at arabic grammer.

I hope some efforts are made in this regard inshAllah. You all should think about practical means of spreading teh lnaguage inshALlah, awareness campaigns and things. it would be a beenficial use of your time compared to some time wasting threads on here for sure. the non muslims know how valuable arabic is to us and thats why they spread european languages n the arabic speaking world
