Speaking on the occasion, Dr Asif Awan said that Arabic language was not only a religious language of Muslim Ummah but it was also spoken in various countries of the world.

Due to indifferent attitude of Muslim rulers in the past we had to adopt English language instead of Arabic language as international language, he said.

"If we want to get of lost glorious position, we will have to adopt Arabic language in all spheres of our life as it is a language of Quran which is a complete code of life for success in this world and hereafter," he added.
