⦿
And thou wouldst have deemed them waking though they were asleep, and We caused them to turn over to the right and the left, and their dog stretching out his paws on the threshold. If thou hadst observed them closely thou hadst assuredly turned away from them in flight, and hadst been filled with awe of them.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
You will suppose them to be awake, although they are asleep. We turn them to the right and to the left, and their dog [lies] stretching its forelegs at the threshold. If you come upon them, you will surely turn to flee from them, and you will surely be filled with a terror of them.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
One would think them (the youths) awake while, in fact, they were sleeping. We turned their bodies from right to left and their dog stretched its front legs on the ground. Had one looked them over, he would have run away from them in terror.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And you might think them awake while they were asleep and We turned them about to the right and to the left, while their dog (lay) outstretching its paws at the entrance; if you looked at them you would certainly turn back from them in flight, and you would certainly be filled with awe because of them.
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
You would have thought they were awake, though they lay asleep. We turned them over, to the right and the left, while their dog lay at the cave's entrance with legs outstretched. Had you looked down and seen them, you would have surely turned your back and fled in terror.
- Wahiduddin Khan

اور تمہارا خیال ہے کہ وہ جاگ رہے ہیں حالانکہ وہ عالهِ خواب میں ہیں اورہم انہیں داہنے بائیں کروٹ بھی بدلوارہے ہیں اور ان کا کتا ّڈیوڑھی پر دونوں ہاتھ پھیلائے ڈٹا ہوا ہے اگر تم ان کی کیفیت پر مطلع ہوجاتے تو اُلٹے پاؤں بھاگ نکلتے اورتمہارے دل میں دہشت سما جاتی
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
تم انہیں دیکھ کر یہ سمجھتے کہ وہ جاگ رہے ہیں، حالانکہ وہ سو رہے تھے ہم انہیں دائیں بائیں کروٹ دلواتے رہتے تھے اور ان کا کتا غار کے دہانے پر ہاتھ پھیلائے بیٹھا تھا اگر تم کہیں جھانک کر اُنہیں دیکھتے تو الٹے پاؤں بھاگ کھڑے ہوتے اور تم پر ان کے نظارے سے دہشت بیٹھ جاتی
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور تم انھیں جاگتا سمجھو اور وہ سوتے ہیں اور ہم ان کی داہنی بائیں کروٹیں بدلتے ہیں اور ان کا کتا اپنی کلائیاں پھیلائے ہوئے ہے غار کی چوکھٹ پر اے سننے! والے اگر تو انہیں جھانک کر دیکھے تو ان سے پیٹھ پھیر کر بھاگے اور ان سے ہیبت میں بھر جائے
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
اور تم انہیں دیکھو تو خیال کرو کہ وہ جاگ رہے ہیں حالانکہ وہ سوئے ہوئے ہیں اور ہم انہیں دائیں اور بائیں کروٹ بدلواتے رہتے ہیں اور ان کا کتا غار کے دہانے پر اپنے دونوں بازو پھیلائے بیٹھا ہے اگر تم انہیں جھانک کر دیکھو تو تم الٹے پاؤں بھاگ کھڑے ہو۔ اور تمہارے دل میں دہشت سما جائے۔

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.
