In Arabic Ahla - بالعربي أحلى

Our language is the first sign of our culture , and if you don't protect your language this will be the first step to the rest of your culture to fade away and vanish at the end.

"In Arabic Ahla" ,  meaning in Arabic it's nicer , is  a group that aims to help in saving the Arabic language from being lost , at the time where English along with some other languages are the rising languages in this century where even Arab people are starting to talk in English much more than they talk in their mother language Arabic, which hold s a huge threat on the Arabic language along with the rest of the Arabic culture

.

.

This group idea originally came from a random discussion on the topic of the Arabic languages in one the classes of Arabic at AL Eman high school in Beit Hanina taught by Arabic teacher "Insherah Al Fityani" , where a group of young girls at the age of 16 were inspired by the conversation their teacher had raised about the importance of saving the Arabic language , and it wasn't until then that they decided to start a page on Facebook for the purpose of saving the Arabic language from being lost.

"Arabic language is a civilization and without it we are nothing "

this is what this group of young girl believe in , and by this they lead and organize each event they did.

And with the rise of what is so-called ( Arabizee) where people tend to communicate on the social network by the Arabic language but with English alphabets , which plays a huge factor in loosing the essence of the Arabic language , the idea of the first event of "in Arabic Ahla " raised up.

Their first event was created on Facebook , where they tried to encourage Arab people to use their mother language "Arabic" to communicate with each other on the social networks such as Facebook and twitter, for a whole month .

they first started by encouraging their friends where they wouldn't replay to any message on their own profiles if it was written in the " Arabizee) forcing people to get used to write in Arabic as it should be written in, and by this simple idea more people were joining and doing the same.

The young girls in the photo are the girls who came up with idea of In Arabic Ahla

from their first event to many more including reading in Arabic in their school and many other schools next to theirs the idea of " In Arabic Ahla" grow hoping that one day everyone in the Arab world will be proud of their language Arabic , the sign of civilization to any Arab country.
