    Option 1 and 2
    You can't recognize Arabic letters well enough to read and rely only on translations.

    Option 3 and 4
    You can recognize the Arabic letters well enough to recite the Quran fluently. You can recognize the roots of words and can look them up in a dictionary.
    But you can't have a conversation in a Arabic with a native speaker.

    Option 5
    You are a native Arabic speaker. Arabic is your first language.

        Merhaba ) finally my first post after only reading different threads

        I chose first option, my first language is Turkish but I do know English, although I learned the Arabic alphabet and how to read simple surahs as a child I do not recognize the letters and terms anymore so I rely on translations.

          Slm Burhan,

          is this post originated about my not-understanding some post/replys sun...

          But you can't have a conversation in a Arabic with a native speaker.

          you will be right if the Quran-arabic was the "new"-arabic language..
          correct me if i am wrong

                            I can read and write arabic (but very slowly), also learning to communicate on A1-A2 basis. I know most of the important qur'anic words and some common words, all of the Suras and Ayats i memorized i also know the meaning and translation. Im going to Jordan soon to train my arabic skills and to visit Petra. God willing.

                            My first language is German, second are English and Russian.

                                Salam to All,

                                This my 10cent input

                                Being able to read Arabic and understand the language is not a guarantee you can understand the Qur'an. If that is so, then why do we have Christians arabs, they read Arabic, they understand Arabic Arabic is their mother tongue and yet they fail to grasp the message in the Qur'an

                                4144 And had We made it a non-Arabic revelation, they would have said "If only its verses were made clear!" Non-Arabic and Arabic, say "For those who believe, it is a guide and healing. As for those who disbelieve, there is deafness in their ears, and they are blind to it. These will be called from a place far away."

                                5679 None can grasp it (guidance, wisdom and understanding) except the purified

                                God bless you all

                                          So would it be weird if I PM you? I see it as normal, other people have PMeed me on here too...I don't feel comfortable stating my location publicly because there may be crazy people, anyone can read public forums.

                                          Thanks for trying to help with the job thing brother
