It is made lawful for you to go in unto your wives on the night of the fast. They are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them. Allah is Aware that ye were deceiving yourselves in this respect and He hath turned in mercy toward you and relieved you. So hold intercourse with them and seek that which Allah hath ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn. Then strictly observe the fast till nightfall and touch them not, but be at your devotions in the mosques. These are the limits imposed by Allah, so approach them not. Thus Allah expoundeth His revelation to mankind that they may ward off (evil).
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
You are permitted on the night of the fast to go into your wives: they are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them. Allah knew that you would betray yourselves, so He pardoned you and excused you. So now consort with them and seek what Allah has ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white streak becomes manifest to you from the dark streak at the crack of dawn. Then complete the fast until nightfall, and do not consort with them while you dwell in confinement in the mosques. These are Allah]s bounds, so do not approach them. Thus does Allah clarify His signs for mankind so that they may be Godwary.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
It is made lawful for you, during the nights of fasting, to have carnal relations with your wives. They are your garments and you are their garments. God knew that you were deceiving yourselves. He relented towards you and forgave you. Now it is lawful for you to have carnal relations with your wives and follow what God has commanded. Eat and drink until the white streak of dawn becomes distinguishable from darkness. Complete your fast, starting from dawn to dusk. It is not lawful to have carnal relations with your wives during i'tikaf in the mosque. Such are the limits of the laws of God. Do not come close to transgressing them. Thus has God explained His evidence to men so that perhaps they will have fear of God.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
It is made lawful to you to go into your wives on the night of the fast; they are an apparel for you and you are an apparel for them; Allah knew that you acted unfaithfully to yourselves, so He has turned to you (mercifully) and removed from you (this burden); so now be in contact with them and seek what Allah has ordained for you, and eat and drink until the whiteness of the day becomes distinct from the blackness of the night at dawn, then complete the fast till night, and have not contact with them while you keep to the mosques; these are the limits of Allah, so do not go near them. Thus does Allah make clear His communications for men that they may guard (against evil).
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
It has been made lawful for you to go to your wives on the night of the fast: they are like a garment for you, and you are like a garment for them. God is aware that you were deceiving yourselves and He has turned in mercy towards you and pardoned you. So you may now consort with them and seek what God has ordained for you. Eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct from the black. Then resume the fast until nightfall, and do not approach them during the nights of your devotional retreat in the mosques. These are the limits set by God, so do not approach them. Thus He makes clear His commandments to mankind, so that they may guard themselves [against evil].

تمہارے لئے ماہ رمضان کی رات میں عورتوں کے پاس جانا حلال کر دےا گےا ہے۔ہو تمہارے لئے پردہ پوش ہیں اور تم انکے لئے ۔خدا کو معلام ہے کہ تم اپنے ہی نفس سے خیانت کرتے تھے تو اس نے تمہاری توبہ قبول کرکے تمہےں معاف کر دےا۔ اب تم بہ اطمینان مباشرت کرو اور جو خدا نے تمہارے لئے مقدر کیا ہے اس کی آرزو کرو اوراس وقت تک کھا پی سکتے ہوجب تک فجر کا سیاہ ڈورا ،سفید ڈورے سے نمایاں نہ ہو جائے۔ اس کے بعد رات کی سیاہی تک روزہ کو پورا کرو اور خبردار مسجدوںمیں اعتکاف کے موقع پر عورتوں سے مباشرت نہ کرنا۔یہ سب مقررہ حدود الٰہی ہیں ۔ان کے قرےب بھی نہ جانا ۔اللہ اس طرح اپنی آیتوں کو لوگوں کے لئے واضح طور پر بیان کرتا ہے کہ شاید وہ متقی اور پرہیزگار بن جائیں
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
تمہارے لیے روزوں کے زمانے میں راتوں کو اپنی بیویوں کے پاس جانا حلال کر دیا گیا ہے وہ تمہارے لیے لباس ہیں اور تم اُن کے لیے اللہ کو معلوم ہو گیا کہ تم لوگ چپکے چپکے اپنے آپ سے خیانت کر رہے تھے، مگر اُ س نے تمہارا قصور معاف کر دیا اور تم سے درگزر فرمایا اب تم اپنی بیویوں کے ساتھ شب باشی کرو اور جو لطف اللہ نے تمہارے لیے جائز کر دیا ہے، اُسے حاصل کرو نیز راتوں کو کھاؤ پیو یہاں تک کہ تم کو سیاہی شب کی دھاری سے سپیدۂ صبح کی دھاری نمایاں نظر آ جائے تب یہ سب کام چھوڑ کر رات تک اپنا روزہ پورا کرو اور جب تم مسجدوں میں معتکف ہو، تو بیویوں سے مباشرت نہ کرو یہ اللہ کی باندھی ہوئی حدیں ہیں، ان کے قریب نہ پھٹکنا اِس طرح اللہ اپنے احکام لوگوں کے لیے بصراحت بیان کرتا ہے، توقع ہے کہ وہ غلط رویے سے بچیں گے
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
روزہ کی راتوں میں اپنی عورتوں کے پاس جانا تمہارے لئے حلال ہوا وہ تمہاری لباس ہیں اور تم ان کے لباس، اللہ نے جانا کہ تم اپنی جانوں کو خیانت میں ڈالتے تھے تو اس نے تمہاری توبہ قبول کی اور تمہیں معاف فرمایا تو اب ان سے صحبت کرو اور طلب کرو جو اللہ نے تمہارے نصیب میں لکھا ہو اور کھاؤ اور پیئو یہاں تک کہ تمہارے لئے ظاہر ہوجائے سفیدی کا ڈورا سیاہی کے ڈورے سے (پوپھٹ کر) پھر رات آنے تک روزے پورے کرو اور عورتوں کو ہاتھ نہ لگاؤ جب تم مسجدوں میں اعتکاف سے ہو یہ اللہ کی حدیں ہیں ان کے پاس نہ جاؤ اللہ یوں ہی بیان کرتا ہے لوگوں سے اپنی آیتیں کہ کہیں انہیں پرہیزگاری ملے،
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
(اے مسلمانو) روزوں کی رات تمہارے لئے اپنی عورتوں سے مباشرت کرنا حلال کر دیا گیا ہے۔ وہ (عورتیں) تمہارا لباس ہیں اور تم ان کا لباس ہو خدا جانتا ہے کہ تم اپنی ذات کے ساتھ خیانت کرتے رہے ہو تو اس نے تمہاری توبہ قبول کی اور تمہیں معاف کر دیا۔ پس اب تم ان سے (روزوں کی راتوں میں) مباشرت کرو۔ اور جو کچھ (اولاد) خدا نے تمہارے مقدر میں لکھ دی ہے اسے طلب کرو۔ اور (رات کو) کھاؤ پیؤ۔ یہاں تک کہ صبح کا سفید ڈورا (رات کی) سیاہ ڈوری سے الگ ہو کر ظاہر ہو جائے پھر رات تک روزہ کو پورا کرو۔ اور جب تم مسجدوں میں اعتکاف (قیام) کئے ہوئے ہو تو (رات کو بھی) بیویوں سے مباشرت نہ کرو۔ یہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی مقرر کی ہوئی حدیں ہیں ان کے قریب نہ جاؤ اس طرح خدا اپنی آیتوں (احکام) کو لوگوں کے لئے بیان کرتا ہے تاکہ وہ پرہیزگار بن جائیں۔

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.
