Is Islam God Only Understand Arabic by muykem: 10:09pm On May 26, 2022
I want to ask our Muslims brother/sister this question. Why 5 times prayers can't be translated to other languages to make more easy for everybody. I believe that God doesn't discriminate against any language.

Even the Bible wasn't originally written in English. There are translated and transliterated versions of the holy Qur'an.

Maybe you can instead upload the translation lf all 5 prayers so the Op can see that they can indeed be said in other languages other than Arabic... undecided

And I am only interested in you actually answering the OP'S question which again is something like why do Muslims everywhere pray the 5 daily prayers in Arabic and not in English or even yoruba or any other language out there? undecided

Because unlike other beliefs. You can't alter or change anything about the religion hence it creates room for errors where in some faiths we have so many versions of their holy books all contradicting each other.

Having it written in too many languages will only bring in more contradictions, with every version of each language claiming to be better than the other, or a case where certain words would be substituted for the other which a certain group would not agree with, you could even end up having several versions under the same language but in the end, they contradict each other.

Meaning then that the OP is indeed right and that the Islamic message tends to fall apart completely when subjected to different human languages except arabic? undecided

The Islamic Allah only understands ARABIC. Just like Ogun or Oya or Sango can only be invoked in Yoruba language.

Too bad!

Isn't it the reason why 90% of Muslims live in complete ignorance because they dont understand Arabic?

This is false, there are translated versions in every language and in Arabic school you learn both the Arabic and it's translation in each individuals language..

Or haven't you read some portion of the Quran before did you learn Arabic...

This must be your opinion because no where in the Quran did Allah make such claim...

Most muslims pray in their local dialect but recite the Quran in Arabic..

I am afraid you are entirely mistaken. It is nothing like what you assume you have in today's Christianity at all this since "Christian" scripture was not written or dictated by God Himself. instead "Christian" scripture was penned down by many different men in human languages to be comprehended by human minds in any language realiy. God's core message, as written of by the many writers is retained even though the writers are different and so also times. undecided

Also, scripture is is compendium of the thoughts and opinions of men, Satan and his demons, in addition to the Word of God, so contradictions are to be expected given this. So scripture isn't holy, like some like to pretend because they are afraid to accept the truth of it. undecided

Isn't writing it in a different language pretty much same as speaking it in a different language? undecided

In what language does Muslims pray five times a day?
In what language is call to prayer made?

Don't Taqqiyya me please!
Allah can only be worshipped in Arabic.

Have you ever in your life gone to a mosque in which Arabic was NOT spoken once?
