Some quotes on the importance of learning Arabic: Umar bin al-Khattaab (radiallaahu anhu) said, Learn the Arabic (language) because it is from your religion, and learn the laws of inheritance because it is from your religion. (Reported by Ibn Abee Shaybah 6/118). [it is interesting to note here that we have a command to master that which is spoken and written (literacy) - and also that which relates to numeracy, the laws of inheritance related to calculations involving fractions.] Imaam al-Shaafiee (rahimahullaah) said, (as occurs in Irshaad al-Fuhool, p. 421): It is obligatory upon every Muslim to learn from the Arabic language what allows him to make effort in fulfilling his obligations. Imaam al-Shawkaanee (rahimahullaah) said, Know that when the Book and the Sunnah have come in the language of the Arabs and knowledge of them is dependent upon knowledge of (Arabic) then knowledge of it is the most important of obligations. (Irshaad al-Fuhool, p. 38). May Allah (swt) make this challenging endeavour easy for us!
