If I learn modern Arabic will that allow me to read the Quran as intended?
Is modern Arabic the same as Arabic from the time the Quran and the Hadith? I don't want to spend time learning modern day Arabic if it is so different from the "old" Arabic that it is useless. That would be like learning modern Greek to understand the New Testament. Maybe you get the basic alphabet, some words, but that's it. "as intended" in my question means to learn Arabic that will actually help me learn the Quran, so I can discuss it intelligently with my Muslim friends. If so, what is a good grammar to learn. I learn from the alphabet up, not some phrase book for travel or Rosetta Stone. Thanks.

Modern Standard Arabic is a modernized version of the Arabic of the Qur'an. If you learn "Gulf Arabic", "Iraqi Arabic", etc., it will be somewhat different.

Now not only Muhammad but additionally all prior prophets were human. Simplest Christians have glorified their prophet and speak to him God. God Almighty sent 124,000 prophets before Muhammad, and He not competent to enforce a properly tried and trusted system of sending His messages to humanity. Angels can't disobey the Lord and Arch Angel Gabriel has introduced messages from Allah to all the prophets. So there is no query of he making a mistake. Muhammad Javed Iqbal
