    Default Will the people of Paradise speak Arabic? Did Adam [as] speak Arabic?

    Will the people of Paradise speak Arabic?

    Is the original language--the one that Adam [as] first spoke--Arabic?

    I've read a fatwa on Islam QA that says that the hadeeth is not authentic, but I just wanted other opinions as well. Jazakh-Allah Khair.

    I read that Adam [as] first spoke Arabic in Paradise, and then Syriac [suryani?] on earth.

    But not sure about its authenticity.

    Hmmmmm....................

    It was either Shaykh Sharani or Shaykh Dabbagh who mentioned it.

    I was taught that Adam (alayhissalaam) spoke every human language. However, the very first sentence that He ever spoke (which He spoke immediately after being created) was 'al-Hamdulillah,' which is an Arabic sentence. So Arabic was the first language ever spoken, but it was not the exclusive language of Adam (alayhissalaam).

    Rather Arabic belongs to a class of "revealed languages" that were revealed to Prophet Adam by Allah. Hebrew is also a revealed language, and Syrianiyyah may be as well.

    Any references brother?

    If a person wants to measure his nearness to Allah, he should apply the following formula given by Shaykh Gangohi:

    “A person’s nearness to Allah is proportional to his distance from his own ego and self [nafs].”

    The basis of suryani is very similer to hebrew and arabic. Things like Sadaqa.. Sadaka .. Ishaq ..Itzhaq .. all same roots. So if it was al hamidullah .. doesn't say it has to be arabic exactley. Same roots and meaning ..

    So are we agreed that the first word spoken by Adam [as] was in Arabic, i.e. Al-Hamdu Lillah?
