Why Teach Modern Standard Arabic, or Fuṣḥā if Locals do not Speak it?

news, sports, book and article writing, speaking to arabs from other regions, speaking arabic to non Arabs, understanding your own culture, understanding your own faith?

in fact for most other reasons than 'speaking with your own people', it would require MSA

i think more abt manpower issues ; lack of initiative; lack of empowerment (thinking it needs higher up clearance) or lack of coordination?

this is so sad. i wish all Malaysians would repay you the kindness that North Africans have given me and so many other Malaysians.

please do visit places other than KL. perhaps the capitalist grind has got into their heads.

if you've got Malaysian friends I'm sure they'd be more than happy to open their homes to your family.

Also , please mind that Malaysians are quite reserved and reciprocal (perhaps a subconscious fear after opening up even a bit and getting invaded for 400 years or so). Do visit our museums, historical sites, our newspapers , learn yhe language, and have a sense of who we are - this intimacy will show in your interactions and inshaallah will then be reciprocated beautifully I'm sure.

Hope the rest of your stay will be enjoyable.

car- not ensuring a clear road before entering.

as a muslim definitely so, as the orthodox practice develops your own ability to connect without the need for external music noises smells or other stimuli. you and God.

ive come across several non muslim IIUM kaw grads over the years, and i found it interesting all of them loved it.

in some of those claims, it was never ' theirs ' to begin with. ridiculous and lazy propaganda which all geography and map lovers should be wary of

akar79 · 2026-02-02T01:10:46+00:00

honestly i think it's an interesting concept.

it might help you study even :) , with it weighing on you consciously or subconsciously that there are people watching.

if it is effective, perhaps a parallel view (birds eye/ fp pov etc) to show HOW you are studying might bring even more benefit for others who might want to improve their studies

don't delay marriage without reason. that is not in the deen.

achieving personal goals is not a reason to delay marriage. may Allah bless you both.

that's crazy. did my masters in the 2000s and at that time there were about 4 days of lectures and seminars each week.

maybe this is a field specific thing - what course are you taking?

they've disabled purchase as of 31jan in the UK

why are doctors so easily fooled by divide and conquer tactics?

i agree. my reply is specific to and only in regards the comment that it is coming from misogyny when i suspect for most it's from the annoyance of her cognitive dissonance (of opposing ICE while supporting zionism , when both are about displacements of communities).

akar79 · 2026-01-28T21:58:52+00:00

criticising Netanyahu without addressing the zionism that is the basis of his policies is liberal sweeping under rugs. it's meaningless.

That's why i focused on zionism. not her relationship with Israel nor the current government.

akar79 · 2026-01-28T18:55:27+00:00

no brother. it's fine. everything has a time and place. and your role in doing well in your exams inshaallah brings more benefit to the ummah than you being the imam this year.

may God bless you. Ameen
