الملخص EN

This research aims at discussing the false friends in teaching and learning Arabic.

This is shown by means of a theoretical approach which explicates the false friends concept origin, and types .

It also presents the western implication of the false friends, their origin in the languages, as well as their influence upon teaching and learning a language.

The research then presents an applied approach of those false friends in five languages, compared to the Arabic language, namely: Urdu, Indonesian, Turkish, Malay, and Hosa based on the analytical descriptive approach.

The false friends are mostly common among languages that have relationship –or from the same language family- and are less common in the diverged languages.

Furthermore, false friends emerged as a result of borrowing among languages, by hairing an effect on teaching Arabic to non-native speakers of Arabic in five languages.
