Muslims try to learn to speak Arabic because the Qur'an is written in Arabic, and Arabic, being the language of the prophet Muhammad, is seen as the language of God. A lot of nuance in the Divine Law is lost when these things are translated.
Muslims around the world speak various languages depending on their geographical location and cultural background. Some common languages spoken by Muslims include Arabic, Urdu, Persian, Turkish, Bengali, and Malay. Arabic is considered a sacred language for Islam as the Quran is written in Arabic.
Arabic is mainly spoken in the Middle East, and there are different dialects. Egyptian Arabic is different, but not much, from Arabic spoken in Saudi Arabia. Even in mostly Arabic speaking counties in the Middle East and North Africa, the dialect, and accent differs. The Qu'ran is written in Arabic, so most Muslims, no matter were they live in the world, or their original language, can and are encouraged to learn Arabic to recite the Qu'ran. It is only spoken when praying to Allah, despite one's country of origin or language. There are Christian Arabs of Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and all the other Arabic Countries. Honduras, Salvador, Chile and many other countries have large populations of Arabic speaking people who are not Muslims. Arabic is also one of the official languages of Israel, along with Hebrew on all street signs and government documents.
All 22 Arabic League Countries have Arabic as an official language and almost the entire population of each of those countries speaks some dialect of Arabic with excepting immigrants from other areas of the world.

Opinion 1Yes. I mean I'm Arabic and find it a hard language because of pronunciation and the grammar is so hard to learn, too. I am still not good at it. It's better to learn it from childhood but if you want to learn then it won't be so hard. Just don't expect to learn it in a month!Opinion 2I have been learning Arabic for five months now, and yes it is hard , like any new foreign language any one will start with. But there is a lot of people who are fluent in Arabic and they didn't learn from the beginning of their life. In six months you can be good, and grammar is difficult in all languages.

(Japanese is much more grammatically simple than Russian, for example since it does not have cases, genders, or compound tenses.)2) Distance from Languages known: This is how similar or different the words and grammar of the target language are from the speaker's native or previously acquire languages. (It is easier to learn Hebrew if your native language is Arabic than if it is German all else equal because Hebrew shares quite a bit of vocabulary and grammar with Arabic and almost none with German.)As concerns Arabic: 1) Grammar is very complex, there are declensions, verb conjugations and moods for over 13 different personages, the relationship between roots and word-paradigms, and numerous other issues. In the case of numbers, even fluent Arabic speakers will revert to their native dialects or to foreign languages to avoid the complexity. However, these combinations are consistent and can be learned almost mathematically. 2) Considering that you already speak English (assumed since you submitted this question in English) and no other language can be assumed, Arabic will also be a challenge as concerns vocabulary. Unlike many languages that adopted numerous English words because of modernity, Arabic has merely re-purposed old words and roots to create words like haatef (هاتف) for telephone or qetaar (قطار) for train. Additionally, as you may have noticed, Arabic has its own alphabet which does not represent all vowels (haatef was written hatf and qetaar was written qtar) and has sounds lacking in English such as the "q" or "t" in qetaar which are harder that the "k" and "t" sounds in English.Therefore, all else being equal Arabic should be one of the more difficult languages for you to learn.
The Qu'ran is written in Arabic and Muslims say that Arabic is the best language to read it in. So, all Muslims must learn Arabic.
Yes, of course. Non-Muslims can learn Arabic language and even the Arabic from the Quran without having to convert to Islam.
The last heavenly book, the holy Qur'an, was revealed to the Last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad SAW in Arabic language. The Muslims are required to recite Arabic to learn and understand it.
Yes its only spoken in the Arab world but Muslims from all over the world try to learn Arabic because its the language of the holy Quran>>It's the book of god which followed by Muslims from all over the world and its written in Arabic even when Muslims pray to god they have to say words from the holy Quran in Arabic so most of the Muslims try to know Arabic better
Because Arabic is a very expressive language. Muslims add an aura of sanctity to it because it is the language of Quran, but that's not relevant to all speakers.

Prophet Muhammad (saw) spoke Arabic..ArabicMuhammad (PBUH) spoke in Arabic, one which differs slightly from the modern Arabic spoken today.The Prophet Muhammad spoke Fus'ha Arabic, which is the type of Arabic that the Qur'an is written in.Weather or not the above answer is true or false doesn't matter because whatever language Muhammad (PBUH) spoke wasn't what Jibril (Gabriel) spoke because Muhammad (PBUH) was unlearned in the language of The Holy Qur'an.Prophet Mohammed (peace upon him) spoke Arabic.

Muslims are of all Ethnicities so they can speak any language. Islam/being Muslim is their Religion not their Nationality. How they speak depends on where that certain person is from. Muslims live all over the world. I am Muslim and I speak English but many Muslims are Middle Eastern and Asian. They mostly Speak Arabic.
