How to Learn Quranic Arabic Online
The Quran is the holy book of Islam, roughly equivalent to Christianity's Bible and Judaism's Torah. Although it, like other holy books, has been published in countless world languages, its original language is Arabic. Quranic Arabic is a proper, poetic form of "high" Arabic used in Arabic-language versions of the Quran. Just because you're a Muslim, however, doesn't mean you live in a country that speaks Arabic or use Arabic in your every day life. You may still want to learn Quranic Arabic to help you read original versions of your favorite passages, which is something you can do online.

Complete assignments and assessments diligently and with integrity. Although taking a language class online may result in temptation to cheat on assignments and assessments using the many Internet dictionaries and resources you have at your fingertips, doing so will prevent you from acquiring enough of the language to use.

Test and build upon your understanding by reading regularly from an Arabic-language version of the Quran.
