dont forget arabs arent exactly the best people in the world even if the Divine Revelation has descended in their language their are still jewish arabs and christians arabs who has Allah favourd you who He has made a muslim or those who He has made christians or jewish? you are the lucky one! dont forget paradise has no price tag on it because only those will enter who Allah has favoured. think you have to study harder to learn arabic you get more reward, not the once of whom it is their mother tongue but who deny the Truth. but something tells me your diffrent form other muslims.....

We've mentioned before with proof from the Qur'an that Allaah doesn't prefer the arab's over any other race. It's upto you to accept that now.
It depends what you mean, but to answer your question [which you may be indirectly asking] - performing salaah needs arabic, hence you do need to know arabic to be a practising muslim.
Allaah Almighty knows best.
Peace.

This isn't really a legitimate question. He reveals it in Arabic so the Arabs of that time could understand. Now revealing it to them in English wouldn't really help them now would it? It's not upto us to decide why Allah didn't reveal the Quran in any other language. Even if He did, I bet people would be complaining anyway.
This isn't about you, jannah will not be presented to you in a platter, you have to work hard for it. Getting close to your creator spiritually is not an easy task. Alhamdulillah you are a Muslim, but it does not end here for you, or for any other Muslim for that matter. It's good that you're asking questions but it's better to have an open mind as well.
Practising Islam does not mean practising Arabic culture. You might want to look more into Islam before making these judgements. Good luck.

Salaah (the 5 daily prayers) are performed in arabic, and supplication/dua' can be prayed in any language a person desires insha'Allaah.
Allaah Almighty knows best.

The Qur'an would have to be revealed in some language or another, for how else would Allaah communicate to mankind? What you are really asking is, why is the Qur'an revealed in one language only. Well considering the manner and place in which it was revealed, it is only appropriate that the Qur'an be revealed in one language.
It isn't that hard to learn a new language anyway, and there are also translations that help people to understand it. Many, many people have managed this task, so there really is no reason to complain at all.

Question
A Sikh friend of mine was given some literature to read. While reading it, he raised this objection: “You say that Allah speaks to the prophets and through these special people He sent a universal way of life for all mankind. The question is, why is such an important way of life prescribed in this one particular language [Arabic], which is used only in one particular geographic location? Why could not that Almighty Allah create one universal language for all of mankind so that all people could benefit from that equally? Arabic Qur'an is certainly beneficial for the Arabs only.”
Answer
Had your Sikh friend who raised this objection pushed his imagination a bit further, he could have also asked “Why did God not send a copy of the Qur'an directly to every human being? Since He is the Almighty, He could have done this too!”
These people actually do not try to understand one basic point: For guiding the humanity, Allah Almighty does not adopt a method that would require an alteration in the natural workings and systems of the universe. The variety of languages, and due to that the emergence of various small and large ethnic groups—all this is but a natural phenomenon which came into existence by the will of Allah. And in this are lots of benefits and goodness that Allah would not want to destroy. Yes, He is the Almighty, but He is also the Wise. In His universe, things are running under a perfect set of laws and principles. Due to these principles, variance between languages, cultures, and traditions emerges. Even if Allah had created some separate type of language, that still could not have been the mother tongue of all nationalities, nor could the literature in that language affect and influence the minds of all people on earth. They would not have appreciated the beauty of that language [as one appreciates one’s mother tongue]. If Allah—by some supernatural way—eliminated all the mother tongues of all people and then imposed, supernaturally, one language on the entire humanity, then that is a different matter. However, since one action of Allah does not come to nullify another action of His, He has sent guidance to humanity while sustaining the natural systems and frameworks of all languages.
Arabic Qur'an can only be beneficial for the Arabs—this allegation could have been true had Allah only sent a book. But the reality is that Allah sent the book together with a guide. That guide first addressed a particular nation in whose language the book came. Then, according to the prescriptions laid in the book, he educated them, purified them, gave them practical training, and completely reshaped their lives in a full social revolution. Then he charged them with this responsibility that they, on his behalf, would transmit this guidance to other nations, educate them, purify them, train them, and reshape their lives the same way as he had done to them. Thus, once one nation adopts this ideal, it would bear the responsibility of taking it to other nations. This was the natural way for universalizing that teaching and guidance. Every great movement of the world that wanted to universalize its teaching has adopted this same method, be that a movement to establish God’s way or any other type of movement.
If one accepts the argument that a book is only beneficial for the particular nation in whose language it is written, then one will have to consider the history of all the sciences of the world as wrong. All the books of the world will need to be divided and segregated according to language. All the benefits of translations and various mediums of international mass communications will have to be denied. Yet, it is through these mediums that the messages of great world movements and the words of great leaders are reaching the far corners of the earth. Then what crime did the book of Muhammad commit that it has to be considered confined only for the Arabs just because it is in Arabic?
If one is still not assured after this and he thinks that Allah should have done things as he thought He should have, then he has the right to remain firm in his opinion. But the question is, if by putting up such questions as hindrance one does not benefit from a book or a message, then whose loss is it? This is not the policy of the truth seekers. They search for the ray of light everywhere and from all sources. If one closes one’s mind with one objection or another against every book or teaching, then one will not be able to make even a single step on life’s simple and straight path.

People can only answer your question, but they can't make you listen. If you read the posts with an open mind, then you would realise that your questions have been answered.

You have been given clear concise proof. Yet you still have baseless allegations that the Quran being revealed in Arabic, and the fact that we should pray it in the original form, ultimately amounts to racism! It was with the will of Allah, accept it.

The reason why there is repetition is because you are repeating the question. If people provide Q&A's, they still serve as answers. It is not the fault of others if you do not wish to read.
By the way, nobody said you need arabic for your "salvation". Knowing arabic will most certainly further your understanding and knowledge, but Allaah does not burden anyone beyond their capacity. All that people have said is that prayers must be offered in Arabic, not that a person must become an Arabic grammarian.
