islam and urdu

Hi guys,

before u jump into a conclusion this is not a bashing post but sumthing were many have a misconception. infact the king himself while growing up used to think urdu is a muslim language and only they shud or will speak (learn) it. but thts not the case. urdu is just a language like hindi, punjabi etc.

secondly people who convert to islam somehow start learning urdu as if its compulsory. tamil nadu n kerala r exceptions as irrespective of caste or religion all speak their native language. in karnataka n AP most muslims don even make the effort to learn their native language as if its blasphmous to speak in kannada or telugu.

lastly, the king would like a clarification here. is it written in the kuran that every muslim must learn arabic. again is language n religion mixed up here by preachers or is it really told by god that every muslim shud learn arabic. the king has seen many places in hyderabad where arabic is taught. since islam was born in saudi v can understand if the prophet n others spoke arabic. but shud a person in india, indonesia or canada also learn arabic to be called a true muslim.

I've always wanted to learn Urdu, because it just seems like a very poetic and romantic language - better than French I'd say.

Muqtaleefe lafse....muqtaleefe logon....Muqtaleef batheein..😊

One question I've always wondered is how different is Arabic from Persian? Sorry if its a silly question. I do not know much. ---Arbic is a very easy language to learn...Some part of persia people do speak arabic ..,Iran they have their own regional language too....some of persian people can understand urdu too.... 😊

Well i guess any language has nothing to do with one's religion,you can learn what you want.There are still many hindu families in Delhi and Lucknow which are considered the ahlezaban of urdu like native speakers.Urdu was brought by Mugals in India(subcontinent)It is very common since then bcoz hey were the rulars then.
