As part of the series of seminars and lectures held by the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the university during the current semester, the university, through the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and the Department of Arabic Language, celebrated the International Day of the Arabic Language with a seminar entitled "The Arabic Language: Identity and Resource: Towards Innovative Horizons." It was held in the Al-Hassan bin Talal Amphitheater at the university and was sponsored by the Dean of the Faculty, Professor Dr. Saeed Abu Khadr, who stressed that it had gone beyond the celebratory nature to become a moment of awareness and responsibility and a manifestation of the themes of UNESCO's slogan for this year, describing it as a common identity, a nation's memory, and the language of a civilization that contributed to building human knowledge.

The university's celebration of the Arabic Language Day comes as a renewed affirmation of the university's constant keenness to positively interact with major linguistic and intellectual issues, and its belief in its scientific and cultural role in serving the Arabic language and enhancing its presence in the academic and societal space, as a pillar of knowledge and a lever for identity and belonging.

Professor Dr. Muntaha Taha Al-Harahsheh presented an intervention entitled: "Arabic between Linguistic Planning and Digital Transformation: A Reading in the Horizons of Innovation," in which she shed light on the importance of linguistic planning in protecting Arabic and enhancing its presence in the era of digitization. It has become clear that the future of the language depends on its ability to keep pace with technological developments, through artificial intelligence projects and natural language processing applications. The absence of conscious planning makes the Arabic language vulnerable to marginalization in digital environments. Hence, we need a strategic vision that integrates language with technology, in a way that ensures its renewal and continuity in the lives of future generations.

The researcher concluded by calling for international attention to Arabic on its international day, because the Arabic language can be integrated with the data of digital transformation through studied linguistic planning and technical innovation that takes into account its structural, semantic, and aesthetic characteristics.

Dr. Abdul Karim Jaradat, a specialist in Persian language, explained the controversial policies in Arabic calligraphy in Iran and Central Asia, stating that no Muslim nation has contributed as much as the Persians alongside the Arabs. Thanks to the Arabic language, Iran was linguistically unified, and it contributed to the dissemination of Persian culture and the writings of the Persians, which are among the most important world literatures, with a close connection in all aspects of life. Arabic calligraphy is like a cornerstone for peoples of diverse ethnicities, and the vision of the Quranic script used to inspire all of Central Asia to transform Arabic calligraphy from a sacred icon into an accused in the courts of enlightenment. He also pointed out that the Turkish experience in Arabic calligraphy and reform in the nineteenth century was influenced by calls and ideas coming from Europe, and with the outbreak of World War I, Turkey failed to modify the Arabic letters in order to speed up communications. Jaradat also mentioned the Turkish archives and their contents of Arabic calligraphy, and reviewed the efforts of some countries in Central Asia to write to us in Arabic script, which represents the basic link between these peoples and the Arabs.

Dr. Nart Qakhoun also explained, through his intervention on the knowledge economy and innovative solutions, how we invest in the Arabic linguistic wealth, but that knowledge and data are knowledge and platforms that possess symbolic capital in this era, for example, Facebook is free, and what we offer is a material for enrichment and enrichment.

Qakhoun also highlighted the challenges that must be invested in in the digital world, and spoke about the unstructured Arabic content. Qakhoun also recommended establishing an endowment for Arabic data, and a civilized governance model, to enter into the logic of sustainability and public benefit.

This celebration comes in the context of the university synchronizing national and Arab efforts, confirming that the Arabic language is not just a cultural symbol, but a renewed civilizational project, in which knowledge intersects with values, and meets on the horizon of a conscious partnership that seeks to establish Arabic as a language of thought, a space for ethics, and a bridge for creative human communication.

The seminar, which concluded with some interventions and inquiries, was presented and moderated by Dr. Fadl Al-Sheikh, who pointed out the challenges facing the Arabic language in keeping pace with the rapid and creative development in the fields of digitization and the inflation of databases in the horizons of global competition among users of these spaces. These were the research areas of the participants, perhaps they will answer the question of where Arabic stands in all of this and what is our role in answering these questions and drawing up successful policies for a better future.​
