Abstract :

Arabic is the international language of the Islamic world, which gradually spread outside the Arabian Peninsula, including the Indian subcontinent, due to the increasing development of the religion of Islam. This language was used almost exclusively by the Muslims of this land in India, but with the development of Islamic governments in the subcontinent, the Arabic language was also supported by the rulers of India, and the development of this language in later periods caused the spread of Arabic script in It became a land and over time, found different approaches and practices. The present article uses a descriptive-inductive method to investigate how the Arabic language entered India. The results indicate that with the spread of Islam in the subcontinent and the religious need of Muslims to learn the language of religion, this language entered the land of India from the first century AH and in various aspects of Indian life, including political, economic, Socially and livelihood, as well as in India's trade and cultural interactions with the Arabs.
