more than one language is preferable and required according to doctrinal instructions. The<br />

Prophet (s) ordered Zeid bin Thabit of mastering the Hebrew. As an Arab proverb, it is said, “He<br />

whoever master a language of a people, will secure their evils.” Therewith, demanding with<br />

expelling the English languages from our scientific institutes is not an encouragement on<br />

restricting to the mother tongue. The solicitors of Islam are more required to master foreign<br />

languages than others so that they will broadcast solicitation to God and refute the suspected<br />

matters arisen against Islam.<br />

Debilitation of the Arabic<br />

Imperialist cadres use their powers entirely for enfeebling the standard Arabic, in which the Quran<br />

was revealed, and enlivening the colloquial. They aim at dragging the Muslims away from the<br />

huge conceptual wealth and masking the marvelous eloquence that draws people’s attention<br />

towards the Quran. Mohammed Saeed says, “The most important purpose beyond the<br />

colonialists’ opposing the Islamic education and preventing the new generations from reaching it,<br />

is their intendment to construct barriers between the generations and the Quran. They want<br />

these generations to misunderstand and misstate the Quran and its eloquence. Then they would<br />

affirm that<br />

the nowadays generations refute eloquence and heaviness of the ancient heritage; therefore,<br />

they need renewal and simplification. This renewal and simplification is the very hole from which<br />

the imperialists intend to push their daggers into the body of Arabic language. Hence, the last<br />

hope of this generation’s return to the Quran and its guidance would be unattainable.”[1]<br />

Satti al‐Hissari poses another reason:<br />

“The imperialists conceived that the standard Arabic has been the only means of the Arabs’<br />

<strong>com</strong>munication through which ideas and tendencies are transferred among the Arab countries.<br />

They also though that when the movements of publicizing the standard Arabic in the Arab<br />

countries are aborted and supplanted by others supporting the colloquial accents, only then each<br />

country would have its own accent. This would remove the idea of independence or any notion<br />

calling for unity of the Arab countries. English and French assemblies favored this thought and<br />

began to broadcast colloquial accents in the Arab countries especially the independent. A good<br />

number of famed personalities and Orientalists supported the thought that incited some Arabs on<br />

publicizing it ignoring its origin source and intendment and menacing consequences.<br />
