The answer

Undoubtedly, the importance of a Muslim learning the Arabic language is paramount, as it is the language of the Quran, and through it one understands the texts of Islamic law. This should be a matter of concern for those in authority in Islamic countries, and Islamic organizations such as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation should adopt it, for this will bring good to Islam and Muslims.
