Those who have not yet committed themselves to serious study of the Arabic Language may not be able to follow the Arabic module of each lesson. Do not get discouraged, but instead allow these brief modules to be daily reminders about the importance of studying the language of the Quran. We have a Book of revelation from our Lord, preserved in the language it was revealed in, for over 1,400 years. It contains guidance, legislation, and information about the purpose of life and what happens after we die! It clarifies the Truth regarding the matters that the people around us differ over. So, of course, we recognize the importance of learning Arabic, and we ask Allah for success!
