I am not Muslim but I'd like to point out that while Modern Arabic didn't exist at the time, classical Arabic did. The Quran was written in Classical Arabic, and when Muslims read from the Quran they are speaking Classical Arabic. Languages change over time and there is no such thing as a language being exactly the same as it was hundreds of years ago.
