Look at it this way, if your boss tells you to do a certain job, will you say I was doing it in my heart?
Of course not.
And this is Allah we're talking about, our lord, our creator, we can never compare to anything/one else.

Because Allaah Almighty chose to reveal it that way. We don't know the full wisdom of Allaah Almighty, and this is when faith comes into it.
We pray from the heart and tongue, and salaah should be performed in the way of the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him.) However, whenever you want to make dua'/supplication - then you can pray that in whatever language you want insha'Allaah.
Allaah Almighty knows best.
Peace.
no my friend this is the issue, i didn't say reavel it in mathematics, i meant things can be understood between different people, using a universal message rather then just one language!
and yes that is what im trying to do, understand the message rather then how its revealed, time u understood that too.
yes, unless someone can truly explain to be why arabic is so important to wether i go jannaah or not.
and tell me exactly how that can be achieved. is there a such thing as universal language??? if so then why did allah create people in different colors and different languages. why wasnt it better to create 1 type of people and 1 type of language.
BINGO!!! u admit it, we pray with our hearts and tongues!! so that means arabic is linked with islam so much that its elevated above all the other languages and so the arabs must be better and the rest of the human race are so how lower then them!!
something i CANNOT AND WILL NOT ACCEPT!!!
i don't know! thats what i would like to know,
seth its the message that attracts people and thats why islam is the fastest growing religion in the world
only some1 with weak faith questions such obvious things. do u think priests, rabbis, and other famous people who convert to islam ask such questions. no cuz they understand the wisdom and its the message that attracts them, there is no god except allah

masalama
listen i too was among those who had reverted to islam, so i know, and its not for you to guess at the level of my iman, i have a legitimate question,
why is arabic so important to islam, why is it so interlinked? why did allah make it like this? isnt the message of allah universal, why is prayer = arabic ?
r u serious? you have just done takfir,
im a muslim and proud to be one, but i have questions, so i ask! is that so wrong?
I didn't expect that from u....so? did i say arabs do this? i said it allows for it to happen! not it does happen and i hate arabs!! u misunderstood me and so ur still lieing!
only someone who has low iman would ask such silly questions
read and understand
1. Arabic: language of the land.
The Glorious Qur’an is the last and final revelation of Almighty God which was revealed for the whole of humanity. Since it was revealed in Arabia, the language of the Qur’an had to be the language of the people of that land i.e. Arabic. Similarly, the other previous revelations of God like Torah, Zaboor, Injeel, etc. were also revealed in the language of inhabitants living in that region.
2. Arabic: Muhammad’s (Pbuh) mother tongue.
Since the last and final Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh), unto whom the Qur’an was revealed, was an Arab, therefore the Qur’an was revealed to him in his mother tongue which was Arabic. If the Qur’an was revealed in a language which was not the Prophet’s mother tongue, the people who knew that language, would surely say, how can you explain to us the message when we understand it better than you? It would be like a French man, who explains to an English man regarding the message given in a book written in English.
3. Arabic: a living language.
Although, Arabic is an ancient language, it is yet a living language which is spoken by more than 150 million people throughout the world. The languages of the other religious scriptures like Hebrew, ancient Greek, Aramaic, etc. are dead languages and can hardly be understood by a handful of scholars. These languages are not spoken in any discussions or conversations or not used in written correspondence. Therefore it is very easy for a person who wants to make any changes in the religious scriptures in such ancient languages, since the masses will not realize it - such an eventuality is not possible in the case of the Qur’an.
4. Arabic: a very rich language.
Arabic is a very rich language. Several of its words have many meanings. Each word of Arabic has a deep meaning and we sometimes require few words or even sentences to describe its meaning. Thus in a few words a lot of information can be conveyed, and several times, all the different meanings of that same word are applicable e.g. The first two verses of the Qur’an from Surah ‘Alaq’ chapter no 96 verses 1 and 2 are ‘Iqra Bismi Rabbikal Lazi Khalaq’ Khalaqal Insaana Min alaq’.
‘Iqra in Arabic means ‘to read’, to recite’, ’to proclaim’. ‘Rab’ in Arabic means ‘Lord’, ‘Cherisher’, ‘Sustainer’ and ‘Alaq’ in Arabic means something which clings or a leech like substance. Therefore, these two short verses of the Qur’an give us a great deal of knowledge and information and even if we translate the verses as follows; “read, recite, proclaim in the name of Thy Lord; the cherisher, the sustainer, who created. Who created the human being from something which clings, a leech like substance”, it does not encompass the total meaning.
5. Because of the richness and eloquence in the Arabic language in which the Qur’an was revealed, there are basically two types of reading of the Qur’an. One is ‘Tazakkur-e-Qur’an’ i.e. superficial reading in which you acquire the general message of the Qur’an. And the second category is ‘Tadabbur’ which means to ponder or consider with care, in which you acquire the complete meaning and deeper understanding of the Qur’an. The same verse will satisfy a layman as well as an intellectual.
6. The Arabic script requires much less space as compared to other languages e.g. ‘Muhammad’ in Arabic is written as shown below with the short vowels added above. However, if you have to write the same word in English, you have to write Muhammad or Muhammed.
Muhammad written in Arabic and English.
Thus the space, the ink, the time, the energy and the resources required to write or print the Arabic script is one-third or half of what is required in English and other languages.
7. Qur’an: not only for the Arabs but for the whole world.
This does not however indicate that because the Qur’an was revealed in Arabic, it is only meant for the Arabs. Suppose a French Scientist makes a new discovery which guides the people in day to day household work, or a medical treatment for a certain disease and he further writes his findings and theory in French, it does not mean that his research is only meant for the people of France. Even though, it is written in French, it is guidance for the whole world. Similarly, even though the Qur’an was revealed in Arabia in the Arabic language, it is guidance not only to the Arabs but to the whole world.
do u even know what takfir is??
i said "i think" cuz this is the internet and many nonmuslims who joined this forum have said that they are muslims tryin to stir fitnah.
so ive every rite to question.
