speak good or silent
It's not weird that we found Arabic is in English or Spain or in bahasa Indonesia (my language also has sooooooo many Arabic words :)), it is because Islam had lead the world for more than 5 decades?!
We was great at that time!! And we pray that Allah will 'return' it back for us, if we practise this deen correctly. Allah has promised us that He will make us in prosperity if we ALL the Muslims become the pious people. InshaAllah
