⦿
And thou mightest have seen the sun when it rose move away from their cave to the right, and when it set go past them on the left, and they were in the cleft thereof. That was (one) of the portents of Allah. He whom Allah guideth, he indeed is led aright, and he whom He sendeth astray, for him thou wilt not find a guiding friend.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
You may see the sun, when it rises, slanting toward the right of their cave, and, when it sets, cut across them towards the left, and they are in a cavern within it. That is one of Allah]s signs. Whomever Allah guides is rightly guided, and whomever He leads astray, you will never find for him any guardian or guide.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
No sunlight could reach them during their sleep in the cave. One could see the rising sun decline to the right of their cave and the setting sun move its way to the left whilst they were sleeping in an opening of the cave. This is one of the miracles of God. Whomever God guides receives the right guidance and you will never find a guardian or guide for those whom He causes to go astray.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And you might see the sun when it rose, decline from their cave towards the right hand, and when it set, leave them behind on the left while they were in a wide space thereof. This is of the signs of Allah; whomsoever Allah guides, he is the rightly guided one, and whomsoever He causes to err, you shall not find for him any friend to lead (him) aright.
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
The sun could be observed to incline away from their cave on the right, as it rose, and to turn away from them on the left, when it set, while they lay in the wide space inside the cave. This is one of the signs of God. He whom God guides is rightly guided; but for him whom He lets go astray, you will find no helper or guide.
- Wahiduddin Khan

اور تم دیکھو گے کہ آفتاب جب طلوع کرتا ہے تو ان کے غارسے داہنی طرف کترا کر نکل جاتا ہے اور جب ڈوبتا ہے توبائیں طرف جھک کر نکل جاتا ہے اور وہ وسیع مقام پر آرام کررہے ہیں-یہ اللہ کی نشانیوں میں سے ایک نشانی ہے جس کو خدا ہدایت دے دے وہی ہدایت هیافتہ ہے اور جس کو وہ گمراہی میں چھوڑ دے اس کے لئے کوئی راہنما اور سرپرست نہ پاؤ گے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
تم انہیں غار میں دیکھتے تو تمہیں یوں نظر آتا کہ سورج جب نکلتا ہے تو ان کے غار کو چھوڑ کر دائیں جانب چڑھ جاتا ہے اور جب غروب ہوتا ہے تو ان سے بچ کر بائیں جانب اتر جاتا ہے اور وہ ہیں کہ غار کے اندر ایک وسیع جگہ میں پڑے ہیں یہ اللہ کی نشانیوں میں سے ایک ہے جس کو اللہ ہدایت دے وہی ہدایت پانے والا ہے اور جسے اللہ بھٹکا دے اس کے لیے تم کوئی ولی مرشد نہیں پا سکتے
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور اے محبوب! تم سورج کو دیکھو گے کہ جب نکلتا ہے تو ان کے غار سے داہنی طرف بچ جاتا ہے اور جب ڈوبتا ہے تو ان سے بائیں طرف کترا جاتا ہے حالانکہ وہ اس غار کے کھلے میدان میں میں ہیں یہ اللہ کی نشانیوں میں سے ہے جسے اللہ راہ دے تو وہی راہ پر ہے، اور جسے گمراہ کرے تو ہرگز اس کا کوئی حمایتی راہ دکھانے والا نہ پاؤ گے،
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
اور (وہ غار اس طرح واقع ہوئی ہے کہ) تم دیکھوگے کہ جب سورج طلوع ہوتا ہے تو ان کے غار سے دائیں طرف مڑ جاتا ہے اور جب ڈوبتا ہے تو ان سے بائیں طرف کترا کر نکل جاتا ہے۔ اور وہ ایک کشادہ جگہ پر (سوئے ہوئے) ہیں۔ یہ اللہ کی نشانیوں میں سے ایک (نشانی) ہے جسے اللہ ہدایت دے وہی ہدایت یافتہ ہے اور جسے وہ گمراہی میں چھوڑ دے تو تم اس کے لئے کوئی یار و مددگار اور راہنما نہیں پاؤگے۔

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.
