    Is there a way to learn this quickly? How long will it take to become fluent?

    It depends on how easily you're able to learn Arabic. If you study for a few hours every day, it will help in learning the language. You can't really estimate how long it will take you to become fluent -- everyone is different.

    Yes, as this counts as immersing yourself in the language. However, keep in mind that the Quran is written in an older form of Arabic, so modern-day Arabic may not sound like in the Quran.

    It is possible, but hard. Try your best on apps like Duolingo, I Read Arabic, etc to improve your fluency. Rosetta Stone also has a program, but it's expensive for most.
