Among the languages ​​that take pride in the Arabic language, it is the official language of the people of the Arab world.

They all speak it, and it consists of 28 written letters, and writing begins with it from right to left, unlike other languages ​​in which writing begins from left to right, or from top to bottom; Like the Chinese language. The Arabic language is called the language of Dhad in relation to the letter “Daad” which is included in the Arabic language without the other languages.

How is it different from the vernacular

The concept of the classical Arabic language means the classical Arabic language in which the holy Qur’an was revealed and recited. the pre-Islamic Arab poets marveled at the eloquence and eloquence of the words of the holy Qur’an.

Standard Arabic spread with the advent of Islam; It is important in worship, as reading the holy Qur’an and prayer are only valid by the Arabic language, so the non-Arabs when they entered Islam learned the Arabic language from the Muslim-Arabs, and taught it to others in their countries until they read the Qur’an and mastered their prayers.

Modern Standard Arabic has become in our time the language that is used in the press and official transactions, and in writing. Which ends with all the different dialects of colloquial Arabic.

With the overlap of many local Arabic dialects, the spread of various media, the openness of civilization, the introduction of foreign terms into Arabic, and the presence of many non-Arabs speaking in Arabic countries, the Arab audio-visual media uses the Standard Arabic language; Because it is clear and understandable.

The Arabs have preserved the teaching of the classical Arabic language to their children through schools that adopt classical Arabic in all their curricula.

For more than 1,400 years, the Classical Arabic language is the identity of the Arab nation. There is no identity without language.

Therefore, the Classical Arabic language must be preserved; Because it is the most powerful weapon against the so-called globalization and the spread of slang.
