Classical Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic.

All classical Arabic literature has been written in فصحى (fuṣ7a), most notably the Quran, the holy book of Islam. Being the language of the Quran, فصحى (fuṣ7a) has undergone almost no changes for centuries. However, it has been simplified slightly to produce a contemporary version known as Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). This is the Arabic used in formal situations like the news, broadcasts, religious speeches, Business, Politics, Conferences, Speeches, etc.

You will find that amongst Arabs there is a varying ability to use فصحى (fuṣ7a). Those who were educated at Islamic schools or studied Arabic formally at school or university will be quite capable of this form of the language, while many others struggle to speak MSA fluently, let alone understand classical Arabic literature.
