Ramadaan is the month of the Holy Quraan. And the sacred book was revealed in Arabic to Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) as a guidance to all mankind.
A basic understanding of the Arabic language is an important tool towards an in-depth understanding of the Quran. However, this should not deter those who do not possess knowledge of the language from studying the Holy Book.
The Arabic root system aids the reader in finding the correct definitions of words. Therefore, despite some terms from other cultures and religions having found their way into some translations of the Quran, the authentic meaning can still be traced.
This highlights how the Arabic language is uniquely suited for a book that is divine and is meant to hold relevance for all time, and how some form of Arabic was likely the very first or original language used by humans.
