@TLK

I am not talking about the literal translation. You need to know, not only the rules of spoken Arabic of the days when Quran was revealed, but you need to know the old arabic that was used in potery in those days.

I suppose I refer to Arabs in Arab countries. They are quite involved in reading and memorizing the Quran although that too is fading away. Overseas quite a few of them aren’t really that involved in understanding religion. At least from my interactions and I have a crapload of Arab friends, associates and acquaintances.
