Bismillah Assalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh alhamdulillah Yaa Muslimaat
May Allah grant us all successful outcomes when it comes to learning, practicing, and implementing the Arabic language and to understand the speech of Allah, the Qur’an correctly Allahumma aameen. From a discussion thread on Salafitalk.net we can see the importance of learning the language from the words of the scholars themselves. It is crucial to immerse oneself in the linguistic nuances and historical context of the Arabic language, as it enables a deeper understanding of the Quranic teachings and the rich Islamic heritage. Moreover, mastering Arabic facilitates direct access to the profound wisdom and insights shared by esteemed scholars throughout the ages, fostering a more comprehensive comprehension of religious texts and traditions. By embracing the study of Arabic, we honor the tradition of seeking knowledge and understanding the Noble Quran in its original form, as intended by Allah (An-Naseer) (The Helper).
Sheikh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) said:
The Salaf would admonish their children for making Arabic grammatical mistakes. Due to this, we are ordered, whether it be an obligation or a recommendation, to preserve the Arabic (grammatical) laws, and to correct the tongues that have deviated from the correct speech. By doing so, we preserve the methodology of understanding the Quran and the Sunnah. We also preserve the following of the Arab in their manner of (correct) speech. If people were left with their grammatical mistakes, this would be considered a great deficiency and despicable mistake.

Shiekh ul Islam (rahimahullah) also mentioned a statement of Imam Ash Shafi’ee (rahimahullah), he said:
…this is because the (language) that Allah chose is Arabic. He revealed His glorious book (The Quran) in this language and He made it the tongue of His final and last prophet, Muhammed -sallahu alahi wa salem. Therefore, we say: it is befitting for everyone that has the ability to learn this language to do so, this is because it should be the most desired language to learn. At the same time, it is not forbidden for people to speak with other than the Arabic language.

Using copywork with your children, students, or yourself can be a great benefit to the one applying the use of writing to their learning experience in shaa’Allaah.

It provides an opportunity to internalize the structure and flow of well-crafted sentences, enhancing one’s own writing skills. Additionally, copywork can serve as a medium for introducing and reinforcing cultural and religious texts, allowing for a meaningful exploration of important passages and teachings. Moreover, it is a valuable tool for developing concentration, penmanship, and attention to detail, thus facilitating overall cognitive development. Therefore, integrating copywork into educational practices can yield multifaceted benefits, nurturing language proficiency, critical thinking, and spiritual growth in shaa’Allaah
