The Business Informatics College, in cooperation with the Continuous Education Center at the University of Information Technology and Communications, organized a scientific seminar entitled “The Arabic Language: Concerns and Aspirations,” as part of the University’s interest in promoting the status of the Arabic language and maintaining its presence in scientific, academic and community fields.
The seminar, presented by Dr. Lubna Abdul Aziz from the Business Informatics College, addressed the most prominent risks facing the Arabic language at the present time, most notably
its distancing from the scientific and literary scene, its distancing from daily use, as well as the replacement of it by foreign languages ​​and local dialects, in addition to the widespread misuse of linguistic structures, grammar, and spelling rules.
The symposium also reviewed a number of reasons that contributed to the decline in the status of the Arabic language, including distancing oneself from religious values, excessive fascination with foreign languages ​​and the resulting imbalance in standards of excellence, as well as the belittling of the language by its own people, and the weakness of some of those in charge of teaching it as a result of the weakness of the educational system.
The symposium presented a set of practical proposals for the advancement of the Arabic language, most notably allocating a day of the week for speaking classical Arabic, and trying to replace foreign vocabulary with Arabic vocabulary, even if it is less common, in addition to encouraging and rewarding family members when they use Arabic vocabulary, and teaching children proverbs or easy-to-memorize verses of poetry, as this contributes to establishing the language in their daily lives.

The seminar was presented by Lecturer Saif Adel Al-Hamdani and attended by a number of faculty members and students.

The seminar addressed the pivotal role of universities and youth in disseminating the principles and revolution of Imam Hussein (PBUH), portraying it as a universal humanitarian revolution based on the values ​​of justice, freedom, and reform. The importance of dialogue with different religions and cultures was also highlighted, emphasizing the humanitarian dimension of the Husseini revolution, free from sectarianism.

During the seminar, the lecturer stressed the necessity of adopting Husseini values ​​in the fields of work, education, and community service, given their profound significance in contributing to the development of both the individual and society. The symposium concluded with a number of recommendations, most notably the activation of academic research and studies addressing the universality of the Husseini revolution, supporting responsible media in disseminating the values ​​of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), integrating Husseini thought into cultural and social activities, and encouraging purposeful youth initiatives.

The symposium demonstrated that the humanitarian message of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) is capable of contributing to the building of just and conscious societies based on shared moral and human values.
