The Role of Arabic in Deepening Your Umrah Spiritual Journey

The Arabic language plays a crucial role in all practices and worship of Muslims. All teachings for Muslims to perform rituals of Umrah in the holy Quran and books of hadith are narrated in the Arabic language. If Muslims learn Arabic, they should learn the verses and short narrations in their original language. The original context of any language contributes to deep understanding and establishes a strong connection with Allah. While Muslim pilgrims are performing Umrah, they recite verses from the Quran in Arabic. If they can understand these verses, they can get deep insights into the meanings of these words. That allows us to connect with the divine message of Allah in its pure form.

Pilgrims can ask their Dua in their native language according to the region they belong to. But some specific duas are offered in the Arabic language.

Dua:

لَبَّيْكَ اللهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ، لَا شَرِيْكَ لَك

Translation:

“Here I am, O Allah, here I am, here I am, you have no partner, here I am. Indeed, all praise and blessings are yours, and all sovereignty. You have no partner.”

A deep connection between the Arabic language and the origin of Islam

Like several languages, Arabic is also a language, but it holds a significant position among Muslims for its association with Islam and the revelation of the Islamic holy book. Our beloved Prophet PBUH was born in the Arabic region with Arabic linguistic culture. He understands Arabic well due to his deep association with this language since childhood. The Holy book of Allah, named as Quran, was also revealed in the Arabic language so the Prophet, his followers, and companions could understand what Allah was delivering to them. Hazrat Jibreal A.S appeared in front of the Holy Prophet PBUH and narrated all the commandments of Allah so he could remind them and preach to all Muslim followers. With time, Surahs of the Quran continue to be revealed to the Prophet in the Arabic language. It includes teachings, life lessons, past stories of other Prophets, and the present scene of the Day of Judgment. All these commandments and teachings were delivered to Muslims in the Arabic language. The first revelation of the holy Quran is:

 

Quranic Ayat:

 

اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ

 

Translation:

“Read the name of your lord who created you.”

(Surah Al-Alaq)
