And notWe have sentofa messengerexceptwith language ofhis peoplefor making it clearto them;thus misleadsthe OnewhomHe desires,and guideswhomHe desires,and He isthe Fortified,the Wise.
And We never sent a messenger save with the language of his folk, that he might make (the message) clear for them. Then Allah sendeth whom He will astray, and guideth whom He will. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
We did not send any apostle except with the language of his people, so that he might make [Our messages] clear to them. Then Allah leads astray whomever He wishes, and He guides whomsoever He wishes, and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
All the Messengers that We sent spoke the language of their people so that they could explain (their message to them). God guides or causes to go astray whomever He wants. He is Majestic and All-wise.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And We did not send any apostle but with the language of his people, so that he might explain to them clearly; then Allah makes whom He pleases err and He guides whom He pleases and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
Each messenger We have sent has spoken in the language of his own people, so that he might make the message clear to them. But God lets go astray whom He will and guides whom He pleases. He is the Almighty, the All Wise.

اور ہم نے جس رسول کو بھی بھیجا اسی کی قوم کی زبان کے ساتھ بھیجا تاکہ وہ لوگوں پر باتوں کو واضح کرسکے اس کے بعد خدا جس کو چاہتا ہے گمراہی میں چھوڑ دیتا ہے اور جس کو چاہتا ہے ہدایت دے دیتا ہے وہ صاحب هعزّت بھی ہے اور صاحبِ حکمت بھی
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
ہم نے اپنا پیغام دینے کے لیے جب کبھی کوئی رسول بھیجا ہے، اُس نے اپنی قوم ہی کی زبان میں پیغام دیا ہے تاکہ وہ انہیں اچھی طرح کھول کر بات سمجھائے پھر اللہ جسے چاہتا ہے بھٹکا دیتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے ہدایت بخشتا ہے، وہ بالا دست اور حکیم ہے
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور ہم نے ہر رسول اس کی قوم ہی کی زبان میں بھیجا کہ وہ انہیں صاف بتائے پھراللہ گمراہ کرتا ہے جسے چاہے اور وہ راہ دکھاتا ہے جسے چاہے، اور وہی عزت و حکمت والا ہے،
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
اور ہم نے (دنیا میں) جب بھی کوئی رسول بھیجا ہے تو اس کی قوم کی زبان میں تاکہ وہ ان کیلئے (پیغامِ خداوندی) کھول کر بیان کرے پس اللہ جسے چاہتا ہے (توفیق سلب کرکے) گمراہی میں چھوڑ دیتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے ہدایت دے دیتا ہے وہ (سب پر) غالب ہے، بڑا حکمت والا ہے۔
- Najafi, Muhammad
And not We have sent of a messenger except with language of his people for making it clear to them; thus misleads the One whom He desires, and guides whom He desires, and He is the Fortified, the Wise. [ 14 : 4 ]

CONSTITUTION OF THE ONE WHO IS THE NOURISHER, THE SAFE-KEEPER
This website is a work of passion. It exists only for a couple of reasons:
1) I wanted to understand the Book without involving any second-party sources of guidance i.e. exegesis, or Asbab-e-Nuzul, or extra-Quranic ahadith, etc. 2) You must also know what the bare truth is, so we can work together.
Because the process must be transparent, the entire website is available for you to download. You can go through the code, and if you can make any improvements to this process, you are most welcome to. It is a humble request to update me regarding the improvements so I can also update myself.
Due Credits:
This website was possible by help of many people and forums who helped me to learn Arabic, Philosophy, Law, Psychology, and PHP and other Web scripts. To be honest, I do not even know the names of many but I did learn from them. Some of these people were already dead by the time I read their input.
The entire code of this website is available for the same reason, that what they taught me, I can only pay it forward.
The Arabic text of the Quran was obtained from Tanzil. The additional translations were also obtained from Tanzil from this link.
The social-sharing images of verses were obtained from Legacy Quran.com, and were then resized for proper social-media display.
