Akram Nadwi – Arabic Summer School – Makkah 2023

			One of the benefits of going to an Arab country is immersion, immersion in the language immersion,
the culture immersion in the environment where you're constantly having to be put in situations
where you are practicing Arabic hearing Arabic breaking that barrier where you feel embarrassed to
speak, but your inputs into situations where you have to force yourself to speak and this is one of
the best ways to learn the language is going to be for one month. So, the aim is within one month
you will be exposed to the Arabic language intensively and by the end of it Inshallah, you would
have had developed your air developed your tongue, developed your heart and mind so that you will be
		

			able to understand a hotbar you'll be able to speak well to an audience you'll be able to sit in
Majelis of Elm and understand and interact with the with the scholars in the Arabic language, Arabic
language for us is a very important language. And one thing I remember the Quran said whenever it
does not set a messenger, he sent a messenger in the language of the people, you know what language
it means, language that doesn't mean really only a certain words an expression, language actually
more than that, that is a people subculture, people's the mind, you know, how people meet each other
what the tradition is, in what the norms are, one needs to learn or that certainly, you know, people
		

			are a people, no, they are not the same. By the time the parcela lesson is still they have gotten
many things coming from that time, many traditions in many cultures, and also the language they
speak in a minute in front of the same time, too, if we want to be part of that language, the way is
it that we shouldn't mix with other people, we should spend some time you know In, in that in that
culture, and with those people. So then we learn Arabic language is how to speak, how to write with
them in practice more and more. And then also we learn their culture, we become familiar with their
food, in also with their habits, too. We know that people will you know when you read the Quran and
		

			Hadith, too many teas and expressions comes from many, you know, names or the full signed traditions
or come into Quran, sunnah, you can relate them very well. So Hamdulillah this initiative is very
important as salam had been successful Alhamdulillah for a while in teaching Arabic language, you
know, anti Islamic sciences, but now, this initiative, which helped people, the students, they spend
some time in one of their country, they improve their Arabic language especially as a speaking part
and also make the writing part and they become aware really the Arab culture and the people there
and also we need to know the countries or a country. So when you are there, you can discuss with the
		

			people. So 100 Light is a good program and very strongly, you know, encourage everybody that you
know, every year, some story should actually make effort to go there and spend at least one a month
there and it will help them I do hope you can all register and join us Inshallah, because one of the
five skills of learning the languages conversation, and learning how to speak is very difficult to
do it outside of the environment. So we hope this is an event which will provide a wonderful
platform for you to develop those skills.
