Third reason for learning quraanic Arabic Quraan provides guidance for all mankind, therefore it is a universal message. All of us, Arabs and Nonarabs are foreigners to the universal Quraanic Arabic until we learn its terminology. Ata-turk was able to change the formal writing of Turkish from Arabic letter to English letters. But then again, we are fortunate that Allah has preserved this language for us, on paper, on audio tapes, videotapes, computer aided instructions, and even college classes or teachers. Fourth reason for learning quraanic arabic Is to avoid the shortcomings of quraan translations and distorted interpretations that are not the revelation nor the words of Allah.
Some translations are so difficult to read and understands.
We make great effort using the dictionaries to understand these translations with their shortcomings. Why shouldn't we save that effort to learn the quraanic Arabic. Some interpretations and translations go in oppositions to the real message of Islam and thus they take us away from Islam. The word Ilah is sometimes restricted to the statute worshipped other than Allah in pre-islamic era. But its true meaning is beyond those idols and it includes the desire, the idols of people, the idole of satan, and the idol of wealth.
