the advantages of arabic as a language of muslims are many. Religious benefits like understanding teh qur'an when we hear it, being able to read the books of teh ulema, having a sense of unity and religious heritage and pride in our language, unity amongst muslims as we could comunity with anyone anywhere in teh world etc etc. It also has worldly benefits such as economical benefits. Language is a tool that is being utilised by teh kuffar but not by the muslims unfortunately. We're too bogged down with nationalism and strange ideas to see the wood from teh trees. If this logical analysis isnt sufficient, who will dare attack the chief of the believers as being faschist:

One of the reported instructions ‘Umar wrote to Abû Mûsâ Al-Ash’arî and those under his governance during the former’s Caliphate was,

“Seek knowledge and understanding of (fiqh) the Sunnah and seek knowledge and understanding of Arabic.

”Ibn Abî Shaybah, Al-Musannaf Vol.6 p126.

It is reported that he said,

“Learn Arabic, for it strengthens the intelligence and increases one’s noble conduct (al-murû`ah).

”Al-Bayhaqî, Shu’ab Al-Îmân Vol.4 p187.

It is also reported that he said,

“Do not learn the language of the non-Arabs, and do not enter upon them in their churches on their festivals, for indeed wrath descends upon them.

”‘Abd Al-Razzâq Al-San’ânî, Al-Musannaf Vol.1 p411.

It is also reported that he was once circumambulating the Ka’bah when he heard two men speaking in a language other than Arabic behind him. He turned to them and said,

“Find some way to learn Arabic.

”

Umar is not the only person from teh salaf who encouraged arabic but you get teh point. And if it were not teh objective of the salaf, why did arabic spread to north africa and syria, iraq etc? I even heard turkey used to have arabic script or langauge as did somali until recently when attaturk decided turkey needed turkish instead and somalia needed to adopt the script of the europeans. Who in their right mind would not think its bad that muslims have lost the arabic language?

Even teh jews recognise the importance of keeping their religious language as their heritage
