Arabic Language is Superior...
Arabic is superior because it is the language with which the Last and Best Revelation was revealed.
Allaah says He reveals the Qur'aan in A Plain Arabic Language.
It is language of the Sunnah, the Second Revelation.
The basic acts of Muslim worship are observed in Arabic. Your Salat is not accepted if you observe it in other than the Arabic language.
It is the unifying language of all the Muslims. The adhaan is in Arabic, the talbiyyah is in Arabic, Assalaam alaykum is Arabic, alhamdulillah is Arabic, laa haula wa laa quwwata illa billah is Arabic.
Even Arabic has permeated our local dialects: alamari (Al Amr), alafia (Al aafiya), alubosa (Al basal), adua (ad-Duaa), woli (Al-Waliyy), alubarika (Al barakah), alfansa (al-Faahisha), etc.
Arabic protects the originality of everything Islam, Qur'aan, Hadeeth, Shariah, Seerah, Taarikh, etc.
The best of those who served Islam and who left footprints for the successive generations of Muslim achieved the feat via Arabic, as one of the first tools. Al-Imaam Al-Bukhari, Al-Muslim, At-Trimidhi, Abu Daawud, etc, were not Arabs.
Al-Imaam Al-Albaani of recent was an European from Albania.
Yes, it is not proper making jest of the woman and others like her but she needs to be educated about Islam.
Ignorance about Islam is a disease every Muslim must treat to make best out of their Deen.
After the Arabic Language to a Muslim, comes his mother tongue (Yorùbá, Hausa, Fulani, Igbo, etc) then come the languages of colonialism like English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, etc.
Wallaahul Musta'aan.
