Comments on this journal
It makes sense because so many of our religious books (not just the Quran) have been written in that language. That the majority of Muslims do not understand Arabic is the root of many of our ignorance and misunderstandings about our religion.
Wajib by the way is an action that is necessary in order to follow the shari'ah. It is often used as a synonym for fard (an obligatory part of the shari'ah). Al-Shafi'i calls it an wajib because understanding Arabic opens the doors to Islam. He refrained from calling it fard (individual obligation) because many people are simply unable to acquire languages. I should also point out that no Imam has ever said that knowing or not knowing Arabic affects the level of one's faith or relationship with Allah. It is not necessary, for example, to know Arabic in order to receive the blessings of prayer because that action is obligatory and the blessings follow according to the level of one's sincerity. However, learning Arabic is wajib for obvious practical reasons.
Take it from me, it makes life so much easier when you can understand the sources of Islam directly without having to go through a translation.
i do go on, don't i?!?!
emma, we all know you love your sheesha!
