⦿
And Allah coineth a similitude: Two men, one of them dumb, having control of nothing, and he is a burden on his owner; whithersoever he directeth him to go, he bringeth no good. Is he equal with one who enjoineth justice and followeth a straight path (of conduct)?
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
Allah draws [another] parable: Two men, one of whom is dumb, having no power over anything and who is a liability to his master: wherever he directs him he does not bring any good. Is he equal to someone who enjoins justice and is [steady] on a straight path?
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
God tells a parable about two men. One of them is dumb and useless and a burden on his friend. Wherever he goes, he returns with nothing. Can he be considered equal to the one who maintains justice and follows the right path?
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And Allah sets forth a parable of two men; one of them is dumb, not able to do anything, and he is a burden to his master; wherever he sends him, he brings no good; can he be held equal with him who enjoins what is just, and he (himself) is on the right path?
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
God makes another comparison between two men, one of whom is dumb and cannot do a thing, and is a burden on his master. Wherever he sends him on an errand, he brings [him] no good. Is he equal to someone who commands justice and is on a straight path?
- Wahiduddin Khan
⦿
اور اللہ نے ایک اور مثال ان دو انسانوں کی بیان کی ہے جن میں سے ایک گونگا ہے اور اس کے بس میں کچھ نہیں ہے بلکہ وہ خود اپنے مولا کے سر پر ایک بوجھ ہے کہ جس طرف بھی بھیج دے کوئی خیر لے کر نہ آئے گا تو کیا وہ اس کے برابر ہوسکتا ہے جو عدل کا حکم دیتا ہے اور سیدھے راستہ پر گامزن ہے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
اللہ ایک اور مثال دیتا ہے دو آدمی ہیں ایک گونگا بہرا ہے، کوئی کام نہیں کر سکتا، اپنے آقا پر بوجھ بنا ہوا ہے، جدھر بھی وہ اسے بھیجے کوئی بھلا کام اُس سے بن نہ آئے دوسرا شخص ایسا ہے کہ انصاف کا حکم دیتا ہے اور خود راہ راست پر قائم ہے بتاؤ کیا یہ دونوں یکساں ہیں؟
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور اللہ نے کہاوت بیان فرمائی دو مرد ایک گونگا جو کچھ کام نہیں کرسکتا اور وہ اپنے آقا پر بوجھ ہے جدھر بھیجے کچھ بھلائی نہ لائے کیا برابر ہوجائے گا ہ اور وہ جو انصاف کا حکم کرتا ہے اور وہ سیدھی راہ پر ہے، ف)

⦿
اور اللہ دو آدمیوں کی مثال پیش کرتا ہے جن میں سے ایک گونگا ہے کسی بات پر قدرت نہیں رکھتا اور وہ اپنے آقا پر بوجھ ہے وہ اسے جدھر بھی بھیجے وہ کسی بھلائی کے ساتھ واپس نہیں آتا اور دوسرا وہ ہے جو عدل و انصاف کا حکم دیتا ہے اور خود راہِ راست پر قائم ہے کیا وہ (پہلا) اور یہ (دوسرا) برابر ہو سکتے ہیں؟

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.
