💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Isn't it strange how some people have the willingness,
Enthusiasm, perseverance, and eagerness
To learn a foreign language like Japanese, Turkish,
French or Korean, yet when it comes to Arabic,
They claim they're "too busy" or it's too "complicated".
~•~
Some watch French films or Korean drama with keenness,
And when they get invited to study Arabic,
They'd react with a "not now" or "I'll think about it".
Of access to Arabic classes take advantage,
Self-study and research, or learn from speakers native.
~•~
Studying foreign languages may be meaningless
If learning doesn't come with merit and good purpose,
And one's aim is to increase pride or social status,
Not to do Da'wah, communicate with relatives,
Or translate helpful books into a certain language.
~•~
From the reasons that encourage learning Arabic:
To understand Allah's Message, the Qur'an's verses,
To follow how Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) supplicated,
To benefit from writings with authentic knowledge,
And know the meanings behind Adhkaar frequently said.
~•~
Learn other languages if you like, but don't neglect
Efforts to be near Allah through learning Arabic.
Watch useful videos, listen to lectures recorded,
Learn new words and implement the lessons you've studied,
With sincere motives to earn blessings throughout your quest.

Verily, every person will have only what they intended. Whoever emigrated to Allah and His Messenger, his emigration is for Allah and His Messenger (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam). Whoever emigrated to get something in the world or to marry a woman, his emigration is for that to which he emigrated."
