My story with a Jewish Professor who is willing to understand
Why Arabic?
Once upon a time, I visited my favorite store, Barnes and Noble Bookstore. While browsing through the books, I had a chance encounter with a wise Jewish professor. We struck up a conversation about various things, and during our chat, he shared something fascinating with me. He said, “I’m learning the Aramaic language.”

Curious, I asked, “Why are you learning a language that’s not widely spoken anymore?” Jwesh, who happened to be Jewish, replied, “I want to learn about Judaism in its original language. I don’t fully trust translations.”
His words got me thinking. Translations are interpretations made by other people. I realized that to truly understand something, it’s essential to delve into its original language.
Now, here we are, in the 21st century, with incredible advancements and access to vast knowledge. It struck me that one of the first things we should learn as Muslims is the Arabic, Quran, and Islamic studies.
It won’t be sufficient or good enough to just call myself a Muslim without acting upon that faith, and one of many other things after Believing in Tawheed is learning Arabic and the Quran and all other Islamic studies as a priority.
That is why I love and am passionate about working at Ulama Institute to level up the teaching style of Arabic, Quran, and Islamic study.
