I have to agree with WH2010, a lot of the times MSA and fusha (classical) are used
interchangeably.

Kanewai - the OP may have memorised the Quran (which is certainly classical Arabic!) but
in all likelihood he memorised it without understanding. Believe me there must be
millions of people in the world who have memorised the Quran, and 95%+ of these people
simply know how to 'read' the Quran (i.e. just the phonetics) and memorise cover to cover
without knowing the meaning of any of the words.

p.s. even wikipedia classifies MSA and fusha as the same!

It is quite common in dominantly muslim but non-Arabic countries such as Turkey and Iran to memorize the entire content of Quran without speaking any Arabic. It is called Hatim in Turkish and people who memorize the Quran carry the title "Hafız". In important relgious days it is common to get a Hafız to read entire Quran from memory without text in hand to honor the ceremony.

Among rural populations in these countries being able to read Arabic script or memorizing Quran is considered to be "able to speak arabic".

Arabic has incredible expressive capabilities and has been of critical importance to many of the events in recent and distant history. If all variants of Arabic are counted together as a single language, it is one of the top 10 languages in numbers of speakers in the world, and its area of geographic coverage is very large covering large areas of Africa, Asia and of course the Middle East.

@OP: lqtoronto.com has finally released Dr. V Abdur Rahim's conversation course for those who have completed the Madina Series.
BTW, I have heard that Dr. V A Rahim's book 'From Efshaan to Madina' is an excellent refresher course for those who have completed the 3 books of the Madina Series.
