۩ إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ۩
12:2, 'We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an, in order that ye may learn wisdom'
How much Arabic do you really know? You might be surprised to know that you are using Arabic words in everyday life.
If you were in Europe or in a Western country and happened to be grocery shopping at the fruit section
and asked for a banana, remember that the word orginiates from the Arabic “banan” which means a 'finger'. The Spanish use to take it from the North African Arabs and called it 'banan al mauz'
Then lets say you went to the vegetable section and wanted a lemon, know that it comes from the Arabic word ‘limah/laimoon'.
After you went to a Cafe for a coffee then remember that the word coffee originates from the Arabic qahwah, the west transformed the word into what it's called today - coffee.
If you specifically asked for a certain type, such as mocha know that it comes from the word mokha a port city on the Red Sea coast of Yemen.
You may like your coffee sweet and put some sugar then rmemeber the word originates from sukkar, the English call it sugar, the French sucre and the Spanish azúcar
Leaving food and going to Sciences, algebra comes from the arabic al jebr.
Chemistry, in arabic is
Keemya',
Jaber ibn Hayyan He is considered by some to be the father of Chemistry. 
Moving on to love and romance and let's say you wanted to give your loved one a buquet of flowers and im hoping she is your wife, the word
bouquet orginates from
ba'ga
Then on to games playing Chess and you're about to beat your opponent so you say '
check mate', which means
'shaah maat' - a dead King.
On to Music and one of the most important instruments in music is the Guitar coming from the Arabic Gheetar
As your reading tis you could be relaxing on a sofa which originates from the word sofah, means elevated seating and asked for a massage, coming from the Arabic 'mes'. almomasideen, are people who existed in the Ottoman empire and were the first to perform these massages.
An unseen beauty of the Arabic words, is for example if you take a word and jumble the same letters you get a similar meaning in the same context. Example:
غرف can also mean فرغ and the word غفر as in when Allah swt removes the sins from you, all three words are in the same context, to take, to empty, to remove - these aren't exact translations because no words exist in the English language that correspond
رب 'God' and the word بر as in 'bir al walideen', this shows that there is a close relation between Allah and the love and respect of Parents.
عاق meaning you disrespect someone, and when doing so you become at a low level in respect or قاع
My message is not saying that the English language is not important, we have to admit that it is today the language of knowledge so if you want to get somewhere you have to know it.
However, you must not forget Arabic, it is our mother language - especially kids at a young age, special emphasis should be towards learning the language
Some facts about the Arabic Language, written by Spanish, Italian and German scholars.
قال الأسباني فيلا سبازا: إن اللغة العربية من أغنى لغات العالم بل هي أرقى من لغات أوروبية لأنها تتضمن كل أدوات التعبير في أصولها، في حين أن الفرنسية والانقليزية والإيطالية وغيرها قد تحدرت من لغات ميتة وإني لأعجب لفئة كبيرة من العرب يتظاهر أفرادها بتفهم الثقافات الغربية ويخدعون أنفسهم ليقال عنهم إنهم متمدنون.
وقال الألماني يوهان فك: لقد برهن جبروت التراث العربي الخالد على أنه أقوى من كل محاولة يقصد بها زحزحة العربية الفصحى من مقامها المسيطر، وتساءلت الألمانية سيغريد هونكه: كيف يستطيع الإنسان أن يقاوم جمال هذه اللغة ومنطقها السليم وسحرها الفريد؟!! فجيران العرب أنفسهم في البلدان التي فتحوها سقطوا صرعى سحر تلك اللغة.
وقال الإيطالي كارلو نلينو: "إن اللغة العربية تفوق سائر اللغات رونقا ويعجز اللسان عن وصف محاسنها"، وأشار البلجيكي جورج سارتون إلى أن "اللغة العربية أسهل لغات العالم وأوضحها" وقال الألماني فريتاج "إن العربية أغنى لغات العالم". وكان ابن خالويه الفارسي قد قال: "لأن أُهْجى بالعربية أحب إلى قلبي من أن أمدح بالفارسية".
