It's enough for me to read the Holy Quran and the Sunnah(sayings of Prophet Mohammad pbuh) to know that Islam is the religion that meets with human needs and answers all their questions.
Why the Almighty God choses Arabic to be the language that carries the message of Islam?
If Almighty God chooses Arabic to be the language of His message then that must tell us something about this language. Arabic was a perfect language at the time of the revelation of the Quran.Morover the Arabs was at that time very skillful people in using the language in different fields and mostly literature. They talked among them in an eloquent language and were very capable of using language .That's why Quran is considered to be a Miracle in its language because it brought a language that those skillful people can not even come closer to its formulation. Despite the truthness and the divinity of the words of the Holy Quran , many Arabs reverted to Islam at that time due to the highly miraculous style of the Quran since they were a nation of language and literature. The Arabic language is one that is able to encompass the massive teachings of God's last religion on earth .Allah knows best. Even though the language of the Holy Quran is Arabic everyone MUST know that this religion is dedicated for ALL HUMAN and Jinn. It's a worldly religion . That is repeatedly mentioned in the holy Quran and the sayings of prophet Mohammad peace be upon him. :nod:
The question was not why the God initially chose Arabic to convey his messages but why, today, when he wants to send a message to non-believers, he does not use their language so that they can read and appreciate his greatness.
Those who know Arabic are mostly already converted so what is the point of sending a message for them to appreciate?
I wouldn't necessarily say that God sends messages to non-believers in this way. The signs of HIs existence are around us, and some find them in the way the universe is, and some find them in the inscription on a fish. Those who want to believe will find God's message in everything around them, and those who don't will be left cold by even the very clear ones. WE have many incidents that proved the fact that some people will not believe EVEN if they would see a miracle. During the life of Prophet Mohammed a.s there were people who asked him to perform a miracle so that they can be convinced that he was a Prophet, and when the Allah t. split the moon for them to see, they called it magic and started prosecuting the Prophet for being a magician. If there was an inscription in English, then there would be people saying why oh why in English, when there are many more Chinease speaking people who need to know about Islam. :D These things do not affect me much because I believe in God without needing a message or miracle from Him. I have the holy Qur'an and the original word of God that contains everything a person needs to know. If that is not enough, then nothing will ever be.Quote:

I knew a guy who had a bunch of freckles on his arm. If you joined them up, like a connect-the-dots puzzle, it made a perfect likeness of Charlton Heston. And he parted the Red Sea.
