Compare the Arabic language to English.

What will be an ideal response?

Arabic emphasizes creative artistry through repetition, metaphor, and simile in part because of the poetic influences of the Qur’an. The role that formal poetry, prose, and oratory play is missing today in the English language. English-speaking Westerners often find it difficult to locate the main idea of an Arabic message; Arabs often fault Westerners for being insensitive to linguistic artistry. Arabic makes more use of paralanguage—pitch, rhythm, intonation, and inflection—than other languages such as English.
