This is a response to a large thread made earlier today in which some users made the argument that just because the Quran was revealed in Arabic doesn't mean Arabic is a superior language to Somali, this couldn't be further from the truth. The Arabic language is the greatest language.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The Arabic language is the symbol of Islam and its people." Not only is Arabic the language of Islam and Muslims, it is also the language of paradise.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Similarly, Abu Ja’far Muhammad ibn ‘Abd-Allaah al-Haafiz al-Koofi, who is known as Mateen, told us: al-‘Ala’ ibn ‘Amr al-Hanafi told us: Yahya ibn Zayd al-Ash’ari told us: Ibn Jurayj told us, from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Love the Arabs for three reasons: because I am an Arab, the Qur’aan is Arabic, and the language of the people of Paradise is Arabic.”
This hadith is hassan according to Al-Haafiz al-Salafi. Somali is a great language and an offshoot of Arabic in itself but there is no language in the world which compares to fus7a Arabic
