The answer

Among the fundamentals of faith is that Allah is All-Knowing of everything; He knows what is secret and what is even more hidden. Nothing distracts Him from anything else, and He hears the voices of His creation, no matter how diverse their languages and needs. Allah created languages and made the diversity of tongues among His signs. Therefore, it is essential to believe in Allah's awareness and knowledge of His creation and His reckoning of them. As for learning the Arabic language, the obligatory amount is that which is sufficient for the validity of worship and prayer. Anything beyond that is recommended for understanding the Qur'an and . The difficulty in learning Arabic may be due to several reasons, such as the lack of a suitable curriculum or the teacher's lack of experience. It is recommended to frequently interact with native speakers and be patient in learning.
