#LearnArabic.
Umar Ibn Al Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) said, "Learn the Arabic (language) because it is from your religion, and learn the laws of inheritance because it is from your religion." (Reported by Ibn Abi Shaybah 6/118).
Imaam Ash-Shafi’i (Rahimullah) said: "It is obligatory upon every Muslim to learn from the Arabic language what allows him to make effort in fulfilling his obligations." (Irshaad Al-Fuhool, Page 421).
Shaykh Al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (Rahimullah) said, "For the Arabic language itself is from the religion, having knowledge of it is an obligation because understanding the Book and the Sunnah is an obligation. And (the religion) cannot be understood except by understanding the Arabic language, and that without which an obligation cannot be fulfilled is itself obligatory. Then from it is that which is obligatory upon everyone individually, and from it is that which is a collective obligation." (Al Iqtadaa page 295).
Imaam Al Shawkani (Rahimullah) said, "Know that when the Book and the Sunnah have come in the language of the Arabs and knowledge of them is dependent upon knowledge of (Arabic) then knowledge of it is the most important of obligations." (Irshaad Al Fuhool, Page 38). Source: "Al Tuhfah Al Sunniyyah.”
