They don't speak in Arabic here, then why do Muslims here pray in Arabic?
Muslim use the words of God when praying to Him. They recite from The Noble Qur'an which is in Arabic. Praying in the language of The Qur'an ensures uniformity.
A Muslim can go to any Mosque in the world and join the prayer without any difficulty. Praying in the language of The Qur'an ensures accuracy. Translations of the meanings of the verses in the Qur'an are not used in prayer.
At the end of the formal prayer, Muslims can seek the forgiveness and blessings of God in their own languages. This is called du'a or supplication.
