Sign this petition to urge Fiji Muslim League to establish Arabic as a language in all FML schools. Currently they teach Urdu and Arabic is taught at adhoc basis by non-authentic speakers. As Muslims, Arabic is a crucial part of our lives and its one of the UN languages as well, so it could give an added boast when looking for work. Majority of us who have been through the FML schools and learnt Urdu, hardly ever use it in our everyday lives. Lets urge FML to be realistic and practical and give our future generations a better chance of reciting the quran in the beautiful authentic way it was supposed to be, not with an Indian twist!!

The energy behind this is honestly overwhelming and I keep refreshing the page just to make sure I am seeing things right. It feels like people actually want this change as much as I do which is wild because I thought I was just shouting into the void alone.

My kids struggle so much with the pronunciation because of how its taught right now. Arabic is the future for them. Please make this happen.

Arabic will actually help them get jobs later too. Urdu is just not practical for the world anymore.

Finally someone said it. Learning urdu is fine but its not helping our kids with the Quran at all. We need real arabic teachers in fml schools.
