    Arabic is a very fragmented language though how do you decide which dialect to learn? Spanish has a lot of variants too but they’re all pretty much still mutually intelligible. I’ve heard that’s not so true for Arabic.

          It’ll help a lot, and you can def read it but to understand it properly you need to learn Quranic Arabic

              Counting for what? Translations are never going to be as good as the original, that applies to everything, not just the Quran

                Ah, it’s Muslim belief that the original Quran is sacred and a work of god, but a translation is made by humans, and is thus not the truly correct version and only an interpretation.

                Its not that you can’t read a version of text in another language, but it won’t be the sacred text.

                  Funny how book followers think that but obviously the first copy was written down by some human, in some human language, a language that no longer exist because language is like a river and you never step in the same river twice, the same is true for language.

                  So it’s the “perfect word of god” written in the language of some guys from a thousand years ago, if it were perfect word of god he wouldn’t have written it in something as perishable as human language.
