What can you do without the Arabic Language?

That’s easy:

1. Nothing
2. Bidah due to being ignorant
3. Fall into Shirk and Bidah due to lack of knowledge of Islam, due to the lack of knowledge in Islam due to the lack of understanding Arabic and the Quran and Sunnah came down in Arabic.
4. Be a hizbi
5. Blind Follower due to the lack of knowledge and depending on other who are not properly educated in it, and their lack of it and sincerity. Makes the perfect combination for a blind follower.
6. Being hustle, due to the large groups do not understand Arabic. Profits made from your mishaps in many form and fashions. Only selected books being translated, and charging high prices for these translated books. Only certain topics being published due to those who translated, lacking in what they publish and what they do not publish from the scholars. Due to wanting control over what people have access to which make the environment to be a perfect blind follower. (Based on a conversation of one of the publishers of Dar Salam Publication, who noted he only translated books that make a profit only, not about spreading the truth).
6. Be a Layman
7. Always falling into fitnah due to the lack of knowledge and understanding
8. Be a trend follower
9. Related to points 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 being a fan and groupie due to the lack of understanding and tieing the truth to individuals and not to the Book of Allah and Sunnah of His Messenger sallahu wa alayhi wa salaam, due to the need of translators, and personalities to translate, due to not knowing the Arabic language.  Taking the translators as scholars and Ulimaa when they are not fit (many translators are not interpreters or explain the Deen, the Ulimaa are and many of the laymen confuse these individuals as scholars and interpreters of the religion even if the translator is a student of knowledge ).
