ARABIC LANGUAGE IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR PAKISTAN.

By Dr. Asmat Hayat Alvi.

Pakistan is a vast and populous country and its people speak different languages and practice different types of customs and traditions but the faith of majority is common. Islam is the religion and faith of nearly ninety per cent of the population of Pakistan.

Nearly every Muslim in Pakistan start learning the Holy Quran from her or his childhood and after learning, every Muslim recite The Holy Quran every morning throughout her or his life, in other words every Muslim in Pakistan can read Arabic Language, although we Pakistani can not understand its meanings. If a little sincere effort is done and sufficient funds are being provided for few years, every Pakistani can speak Arabic fluently just like her or his mother language, but one factor is necessary, transparency in the use of funds and  team behind, should be devoted to its cause.

Arabic is one of the oldest and richest in its vocabulary as well as it is an international language. Arabic is national and official language of more than one dozen countries and it is also one of  many official languages of UN and other international organizations. If we Pakistani adopt Arabic as our national & official language, our many problems could be solved with little but sincere efforts.

At present English is our official Language and it is not a good choice, as Western culture and traditions are damaging our identity, culture, traditions as well as our faith. To protect our identity, culture, traditions and our faith, we should make a right decision. Many people in Pakistan are demanding that Urdu should be declared as our national and official language and at the same time many people are opposing this demand, because they consider that, imposing Urdu language on them can damage their languages and their identity. Keeping in many realities in mind I personally consider that Arabic Language is The Best Choice for Pakistan in present conflicting and chaotic  situation.
