Expunging the wonderful Urdu Language from the Madaaris is
indeed a tremendous error – a disaster. Undoubtedly, the Urdu
language has become Islamicized. It is now a sacred language. It is
the language of our Ulama and Auliya. It is part of our heritage. It
may not be abandoned in favour of English – the language of
savages and barbarians. The holy and Islamic ethos of the Madrasah
will be utterly extinguished if Urdu is replaced with the language of
the arch-enemies of Islam. Its script resembles the Qur’aanic script
in almost exactitude. It is ludicrous to teach Hadith, Tafseer and
Fiqh through the medium of English, a language totally bereft of
any spirituality.
It is our supplication that the Madrasahs in North America should
resolutely retain the Urdu language and not succumb to pressure of
morons and modernists who argue in favour of the language of
those who are the leaders in immorality. Even a language has its
peculiarities and attributes which have effects on people. People of
English by nature are generally arrogant, shameless and lewd. Urdu
is a language which exudes humility and spirituality. Furthermore, it
is an easy language to learn, and there is a vast treasure of Islamic
literature available in Urdu. Urdu is our link with our Ulama of
India and Pakistan where the fountains of true Ilm are still to be
found. True Ilm no longer exists in other countries.
Over the centuries Ilm-e-Deen has travelled around the Muslim
world, making different countries its headquarters. Since the last
150 years or so, India had become the headquarters of Deeni Ilm. At
least the Zaahiri Ilm of the Deen is still available at the Madaaris of
India and Pakistan. It is nowhere else available in this era. Almost
all institutions in other countries cater for a hybridized concoction of
knowledge which is wholly inadequate for the production of true
Dars-e-Nizaami
