Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, was the language that Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the Arabic language?

Answer:
I do not think so, meaning in Arabic. Most of the previous prophets were not Arabs, except those in the Arabian Peninsula, such as Shu'ayb, Salih, Nuh, and Lut; these were Arabs. The others spoke the language of the non-Arabs.
