It was said by Imam Shafi’i that learning Arabic is sunnah, also learning it would help in reading and reading it even with struggle would be rewarded immensly [ As the Prophet ﷺ said:1- if you learn modern Arabic, you won't understand the Quran. You and the Somali speaker would be on the same level and would need translation. In your case you would be studying Arabic just so you can read the the Quran to Arabic translation. You can also learn thorough tafsiir in Somali if you're interested in understanding the Quran. It's available everywhere on the net.
2- what do you believe you can get from Arabic scholars that u can't get from Somali scholars if u speak Somali and if u don't speak Somali and are Somali, don't u think it's more important to learn the language your parents and relatives speak so u can hold a conversation with them?
3- did you know one of the biggest Arab scholars like the Saudi scholar al madkhali went to same islamic unis with known Somali scholars and finished below them but has one of the biggest followers in the salafi group and can seeminly "disqualify" anyone he wants from "salafiyah" including people that out did him when they were studying together?
4- the classic Arabic islamic books, are u looking to become a major scholar for u to be reading them and how many years of full time education are u willing to spend on them?
Verily the one who recites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have twice that reward.” (Sahih)]
Secondly, OP may be seeking after Classical Arabic for all you know. And before someone learns Classical arabic or dabbles in Grammar (Naxw/icraab) they must first have basic Arabic skills. No need of politicisation or outcry of identity loss because learning a language doesn’t make you forget another.
