The Qur’an must be read and recited only in Arabic, because Muslims believe it to be a divine dictation of Muhammad’s (the founder of Islam’s) beliefs. The Qur’an serves as a unification for all Muslims around the world. With 1.8 billion followers of Islam worldwide, a single unifying text is extremely valuable and must remain in its pure state for all to read.
