The challenges of the Arabic language in the age of globalization and the role of the Qur’ān in preserving it

The purpose of this study is to focus on the importance of the Arabic language, based on the fact that Arabic is the language of Divine revelation, i.e. the language of the noble Qur’ān. In this regard, we will emphasise its religious and devotional role in the lives of Muslims, either to be Arabs or non-Arabs. From another perspective, its importance exists in the fact that it consists of the entity, identity and the legacy of the entire Arabic nation. We will further shed light on the impediments and the challenges, many of which we will explore and expound on throughout this research. Such challenges have certainly obstructed the expansion and the perpetuation of the Arabic Language throughout its historical process, since the Language provides an immense support to the construction of human civilisation, which continues until today, across various fields of knowledge such as philosophical thought, scientific, arts, etc.
