Those who conceal any part of the Scriptures which God has revealed in order to gain some paltry end, simply fill their bellies with Fire. On the Day of Resurrection, God will neither speak to them nor purify them. They will have a painful punishment.

جو لوگ خدا کی نازل کی ہوئی کتاب کے احکام کو حُھپاتے ہیں اور اسے تھوڑی قیمت پر بیچ ڈالتے ہیں وہ درحقیقت اپنے پیٹ میں صرف آگ بھر رہے ہیں اور خدا روز هقیامت ان سے بات بھی نہ کرے گااور نہ انہیں پاکیزہ قرار دے گا اور ان کے لئے دردناک عذاب ہے

حق یہ ہے کہ جو لوگ اُن احکام کو چھپاتے ہیں جو اللہ نے اپنی کتاب میں ناز ل کیے ہیں اور تھوڑے سے دُنیوی فائدوں پرا نہیں بھینٹ چڑھاتے ہیں، وہ دراصل اپنے پیٹ آگ سے بھر رہے ہیں قیامت کے روز اللہ ہرگز ان سے بات نہ کرے گا، نہ اُنہیں پاکیزہ ٹھیرائے گا، اور اُن کے لیے دردناک سزا ہے

وہ جو چھپاتے ہیں اللہ کی کتاب اور اسکے بدلے ذلیل قیمت لیتےہیں وہ اپنے پیٹ میں آگ ہی بھرتے ہیں اور اللہ قیامت کے دن ان سے بات نہ کرے گا اور نہ انہیں ستھرا کرے، اور ان کے لئے دردناک عذاب ہے،

⦿
بالتحقیق جو لوگ کتابِ خدا میں سے ان باتوں کو چھپاتے ہیں جو خدا نے نازل کی ہیں اور ان کے عوض تھوڑی سی قیمت وصول کرتے ہیں وہ اپنے پیٹوں میں آگ کے سوا کچھ بھی نہیں بھر رہے ہیں قیامت کے دن وہ توجہ ربانی سے اس قدر محروم ہوں گے کہ خدائے تعالیٰ ان سے بات تک نہیں کرے گا۔ اور نہ ہی انہیں (گناہوں کی کثافت سے) پاک کرے گا۔ اور ان کے لیے دردناک عذاب ہے۔

It is not righteous that you turn your attention towards the East and the West, rather righteous is who became sure about the One, and the day of the forthcoming, and the malaikati, and the book, and the revolutionary leaders, and gave the wealth above love for it to those who are in their proximity, and the orphans, and the homeless, and sons of the path, and the questioners (needy), and in freeing of debts (helping those who are burdened with any kind of bondage, oppression, crushing debts and extreme hardship of labour), and established the ordered discipline, and brought forth emancipation, and those who abide by their oaths whenever they pledged; and the persevering in calamity and damage, and (in) a time of disaster; those are the ones who are truthful, and those are the ones who are strong.

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
Piety is not to turn your faces to the east or the west; rather, piety is [personified by] those who have faith in Allah and the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets, and who give their wealth, for the love of Him, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveller and the beggar, and for [the freeing of] the slaves, and maintain the prayer and give the zakat, and those who fulfill their covenants, when they pledge themselves, and those who are patient in stress and distress, and in the heat of battle. They are the ones who are true [to their covenant], and it is they who are the Godwary.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
Righteousness is not determined by facing East or West during prayer. Righteousness consists of the belief in God, the Day of Judgment, the angels, the Books of God, His Prophets; to give money for the love of God to relatives, orphans, the destitute, and those who are on a journey and in urgent need of money, beggars; to set free slaves and to be steadfast in prayer, to pay the religious tax (zakat) to fulfill one's promises, and to exercise patience in poverty, in distress, and in times of war. Such people who do these are truly righteous and pious.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but righteousness is this that one should believe in Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book and the prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction and in time of conflicts-- these are they who are true (to themselves) and these are they who guard (against evil).
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
Virtue does not consist in whether you face towards the East or the West; virtue means believing in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book and the prophets; the virtuous are those who, despite their love for it, give away their wealth to their relatives and to orphans and the very poor, and to travellers and those who ask [for charity], and to set slaves free, and who attend to their prayers and pay the alms, and who keep their pledges when they make them, and show patience in hardship and adversity, and in times of distress. Such are the true believers; and such are the God-fearing.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْقِصَاصُ فِى ٱلْقَتْلَى ۖ ٱلْحُرُّ بِٱلْحُرِّ وَٱلْعَبْدُ بِٱلْعَبْدِ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ بِٱلْأُنثَىٰ ۚ فَمَنْ عُفِىَ لَهُۥ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَىْءٌۭ فَٱتِّبَاعٌۢ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَدَآءٌ إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسَٰنٍۢ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ تَخْفِيفٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَةٌۭ ۗ فَمَنِ ٱعْتَدَىٰ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَهُۥ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ
O you of the ones who have conviction! Ordained upon you is the investigation in homicide (murder, manslaughter, accidental, self-defence); the free by (the law regarding) the free, and the servant by (the law regarding) the servant, and the effeminate by (the law regarding) the effeminate; but whoever gets concession for himself (the offender) from sibling of the slain of a thing thus is to be adhered to with definite articulation and execution towards it with goodness; that is a concession from your Rabb and a blessing; then whoever shows enmity after that then for him a punishment that is distressful.

⦿
O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the murdered; the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. And for him who is forgiven somewhat by his (injured) brother, prosecution according to usage and payment unto him in kindness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. He who transgresseth after this will have a painful doom.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
O you who have faith! Retribution is prescribed for you regarding the slain: freeman for freeman, slave for slave, and female for female. But if one is granted any extenuation by his brother, let the follow up [for the blood-money] be honourable, and let the payment to him be with kindness. That is a remission from your Lord and a mercy; and should anyone transgress after that, there shall be a painful punishment for him.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
Believers, in case of murder, the death penalty is the sanctioned retaliation: a free man for a free man, a slave for a slave, and a female for a female. However, if the convicted person receives pardon from the aggrieved party, the prescribed rules of compensation must be followed accordingly. This is a merciful alteration from your Lord. Whoever transgresses against it will face a painful punishment.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
O you who believe! retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain, the free for the free, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female, but if any remission is made to any one by his (aggrieved) brother, then prosecution (for the bloodwit) should be made according to usage, and payment should be made to him in a good manner; this is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy; so whoever exceeds the limit after this he shall have a painful chastisement.
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
Believers, retribution is prescribed for you in cases of murder: the free man for the free man, the slave for the slave, the female for the female. If the offender is granted some remission by the heir of the slain person, the agreed penalty should be equitably exacted and should be discharged in a handsome manner. This is an alleviation from your Lord and an act of grace. He who transgresses after this shall have a painful punishment.

ایمان والو! تمہارے اوپر مقتولین کے بارے میں قصاص لکھ دیا گیا ہے آزادکے بدلے آزاد اورغلام کے بدلے غلام اور عورت کے بدلے عورت. اب اگرکسی کو مقتول کے وارث کی طرف سے معافی مل جائے تو نیکی کا اتباع کرے اور احسان کے ساتھ اس کے حق کو ادا کردے. یہ پروردگار کی طرف سے تمہارے حق میں تخفیف اور رحمت ہے لیکن اب جو شخص زیادتی کرے گا اس کے لئے دردناک عذاب بھی ہے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
ا ے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، تمہارے لیے قتل کے مقدموں میں قصاص کا حکم لکھ دیا گیا ہے آزاد آدمی نے قتل کیا ہو تو اس آزاد ہی سے بدلہ لیا جائے، غلام قاتل ہو تو وہ غلام ہی قتل کیا جائے، اور عورت اِس جرم کی مرتکب ہو توا س عورت ہی سے قصاص لیا جائے ہاں اگر کسی قاتل کے ساتھ اس کا بھائی کچھ نرمی کرنے کے لیے تیار ہو، تو معروف طریقے کے مطابق خوں بہا کا تصفیہ ہونا چاہیے اور قاتل کو لازم ہے کہ راستی کے ساتھ خوں بہا ادا کرے یہ تمہارے رب کی طرف سے تخفیف اور رحمت ہے اس پر بھی جو زیادتی کرے، اس کے لیے دردناک سزا ہے
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اے ایمان والوں تم پر فرض ہے کہ جو ناحق مارے جائیں ان کے خون کا بدلہ لو آزاد کے بدلے آزاد اور غلام کے بدلے غلام اور عورت کے بدلے عورت تو جس کے لئے اس کے بھائی کی طرف سے کچھ معافی ہوئی۔ تو بھلائی سے تقا ضا ہو اور اچھی طرح ادا، یہ تمہارے رب کی طرف سے تمہارا بوجھ پر ہلکا کرنا ہے اور تم پر رحمت تو اس کے بعد جو زیادتی کرے اس کے لئے دردناک عذاب ہے
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
اے ایمان والو! ان کے بارے میں جو (ناحق قتل کر دیئے گئے ہوں) تم پر قصاص (خون کا بدلہ خون) لکھ دیا گیا ہے یعنی آزاد کے بدلے آزاد، غلام کے بدلے غلام اور عورت کے بدلے عورت۔ ہاں جس (قاتل) کے لیے اس کے (ایمانی) بھائی (مقتول کے ولی) کی جانب سے کچھ (قصاص) معاف کر دیا جائے تو اس (معاف کرنے والے) کو (چاہیے کہ) نیکی کا اتباع کرے (خون بہا کا مطالبہ کرنے میں سختی نہ کرے) اور (جسے معاف کیا گیا ہے اسے بھی چاہیے کہ) خوش اسلوبی کے ساتھ (خون بہا) ادا کرے۔ یہ تمہارے پروردگار کی طرف سے رعایت و رحمت (اور آسانی و مہربانی) ہے۔ پس اس کے بعد بھی جو زیادتی کرے تو اس کیلئے دردناک عذاب ہے

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.
