Dear sons and daughters, esteemed professors, honorable guests, peace be upon you.
We gather today on this great occasion to celebrate the World Arabic Language Day, a day that carries the fragrance of history and the greatness of heritage. It is the language of Dhad, the language of the Holy Quran, the language of science and literature that has had the honor of carrying the highest messages and embracing the greatest civilizations.
Our Arabic language is not just a means of expression or a tool for communication; it is an identity with roots deep in history, a lush tree that shades humanity with its values and knowledge. It is a language that has carried the torches of light to the world, served as a bridge for communication between cultures and civilizations, and witnessed eras of intellectual prosperity where sciences and literature flourished thanks to its genius and flexibility.
Dear audience,
Talking about the Arabic language is talking about an entire nation, its heritage, its present, and its aspirations for the future. This language, which has been able to adapt to various changes over long centuries, embrace sciences and arts, and prove that it is a language capable of innovation and creativity.
Today, as we celebrate it, we reaffirm our commitment to enhancing its status among the world's languages, and we all work to ensure that the Arabic language is strongly present in the fields of science and knowledge, and that it is a language of the future as it was a language of the glorious past.
Our university, a leading scientific institution, gives the Arabic language a special place, recognizing its pivotal role in building human beings and refining identity. From this standpoint, we work to support scientific research in Arabic, encourage its use in various academic fields, and develop its technical tools to keep pace with the digital transformation era, capable of absorbing the vocabulary of the age and its changes.
Dear attendees,
As we live in an era of advanced technology, the Arabic language must take its place among the languages that deal with the latest human achievements in technology, foremost among them artificial intelligence.
Talking about the Arabic language in the context of artificial intelligence is talking about challenges and opportunities. This advanced technology has opened new horizons for the development of the Arabic language, not only as a means of communication but as a language capable of interacting with smart devices, analyzing texts, translating content, correcting linguistic errors, and even literary and artistic creativity.
One of the most important achievements in this field is the development of natural language processors that enable machines to understand Arabic texts and their meanings, including the accuracy of grammar and morphology and the richness of meanings. AI applications have already begun to serve the Arabic language through instant translation engines, automatic text summarization, and big data analysis in Arabic, enhancing its status as a language of science and knowledge.
However, this development requires a joint effort to enhance the presence of the Arabic language in this field, whether by training systems to understand its complexities and aesthetics or by working to provide more high-quality Arabic digital content.
Dear attendees,
Our Arabic language stands today proudly on the threshold of a new stage, where it can integrate with modern technologies and become an integral part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. However, our success in this endeavor depends on our collective will to preserve our linguistic identity while developing it in line with the needs of the age.
In this context, our university seeks to play a pioneering role by encouraging scientific research that links the Arabic language with artificial intelligence and preparing cadres capable of developing innovative solutions that serve the Arabic language and employ it in advanced technical fields.
In conclusion, I affirm that celebrating the Arabic language does not only mean looking at the past with pride but also working to build a future worthy of this great language. Let us all be loyal to our language, preserving its heritage, and creative in shaping its bright future.
I take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who contributes to serving the Arabic language, from researchers, teachers, and creators, and to everyone who works sincerely to enhance its status and highlight its aesthetics. I invite you all to be ambassadors of the Arabic language, guardians of its heritage, and creators in its present and future.
Peace be upon you.
