Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “The person who is strong is not strong because he can knock people down. The person who is strong is the one who controls himself when he is angry.”
Can I Make Dhikr, Dua, and Salah in English? | The Best Athan App for Muslims Prayer Times
Salah, Duaa, and Dhikr are parts of worshipping Allah (SWT), however, we know that Quran is in Arabic, so are we allowed to make Duaa, Salah, and Dhikr in English? Will they be accepted?
Matter of fact, supplicating in a language other than Arabic is permissible if there is any Islamic purpose. For example, if the listeners don’t understand the Arabic language.
Again, one may supplicate in a language other than Arabic If he’s not completely in command of the Arabic language, and no one else is eligible to perform this job.
So, It’s permitted to supplicate in English or any other language, however, it is preferable to supplicate in Arabic because it is the language of the Islamic Shariah and the holy Quran.
