Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on learning the English language? And does learning it have an effect on the creed, since I want to learn it to use it in calling people to Allah?

If that is the purpose, then it is good. You use it to call people to Allah, you address them in their language, and you explain things to them. This is a good thing, and you will be rewarded for it, if Allah wills.
