Someone i know stated "the language in heaven is arabic"
-
So, any verses on that? I think he said that only because Allah descended the scripture to Mohamed in arabic. So, what is really true?
I imagine the language in Heaven if even needed or required is the likes of which no human could imagine.
They should remember that God revealed scriptures to other peoples in their own languages. He revealed the Torah in ancient Hebrew, Jesus' revelations were also in one of the semitic languages as he was jewish.

I think it would be the everyone understands each other one, so we can listen to music, poetry, and stuff like that created back on earth.

I see, I guess the fact that our prophet Mohammad (SAW) was Arab, didn't play a part in at all as to why our scripture was given in Arabic? Would it have made more sense for the scripture to be given in Aramaic or Hebrew or any other language if the prophet and his community could not even understand it?
That's quite a weird statement for someone to say, the language in heaven is Arabic.
I mean, was it always Arabic? Or did the lingua franca of heaven change after Islam, change after Arabic was first invented??? What of the languages before Arabic was even created, the languages that predates Arabic?? Remember Arabic never existed at the dawn of man, there's nothing to support this. Would this mean according your guy, our prophets who did not know Arabic would have communication problems???? Noah, Jesus, Adam, peach be upon them, they would all have a hard time talking to each other wouldn't they, since presumably they all don't know Arabic.
Even I don't know Arabic! Maybe just a few basic words, how to say my name and a lot of rude cussing.. Does this mean we all should brush up on our Arabic? Are there courses for Arabic in the afterlife for those who don't know it, Or will I get this knowledge instantaneously? If that's the case, there wouldn't be any point for my cousin to learn the language, since we'll all be able to speak it after we we drop dead??
How do people come up with these things.

I think we'll all be communicating telepathically. !
Words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm - Depeche Mode
telepathically now there's an idea, nice quote, I'm a fan of Depeche Mode myself.
Why do we use man made concepts found in this life to define God's afterlife? I think things found in the afterlife, heaven is beyond our scope of imagination, why would there even be a need for a lame thing like language to communicate. I mean, this is supposed to be paradise, my worldly idea of paradise is staying at a resort in the south pacific, maybe the Bora-Bora islands in Tahiti with clear skies and great food. Some how I think Heaven is better way than this, better than my human concept of it based on my notions, Paradise also would be better than the worldly need of language to express ourselves.
But then again, there are folks who have an incessant need to see paradise from the context of this world, from a very literal point of view. The Hadith in Sunan al-Tirmidhi says, "The least for the people of Heaven is 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome of pearls, aquamarine and ruby." I guess from this hadith, it seems like a heaven for the materialist and polygamist. I don't really care too much for thousands of servants and 72 virgin wives. But that's just me, I'd be satisfied with one Jessica Alba, thanks. )
Sorry for digressing from the topic.

Reminds me of a joke from Axis of Evil Comedy in which the comedian says that Arabs love to swear in English instead of Arabic because God does not understand English rotfl.

I agree with Zenje for the most part, of course I have no real idea what or how any of us who are so grateful to be in heaven will be speaking with one another, but I would like to imagine that we can speak telepathically, as well as in our own natural language we spoke with on earth. And I would also like to think that someone who speaks maybe cantonese, could say something to someone who doesn't speak that language, but it would be instantly translated in their minds, as if they already knew the language.
hehehhehe !

And We did not send any apostle but with the language of his people, so that he might explain to them clearly; then Allah makes whom He pleases err and He guides whom He pleases and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
Then Allah revealed al Kitab (Taurah and Injeel) to tribe of Israel in Ibrani. Nothing weird.
