Musa said: He says, Surely she is a cow not made submissive that she should plough the land, nor does she irrigate the tilth; sound, without a blemish in her. They said: Now you have brought the truth; so they sacrificed her, though they had not the mind to do (it).

حکم ہوا کہ ایسے گائے جو کاروباری نہ ہونہ زمین جوتے نہ کھیت سینچے ایسی صاف ستھری کہ اس میں کوئی دھبّہ بھی نہ ہو. ان لوگوں نے کہا کہ اب آپ نے ٹھیک بیان کیا ہے. اس کے بعد ان لوگوں نے ذبح کردیا حالانکہ وہ ایسا کرنے والے نہیں تھے

موسیٰؑ نے جواب دیا: اللہ کہتا ہے کہ وہ ایسی گائے ہے جس سے خدمت نہیں لی جاتی، نہ زمین جوتتی ہے نہ پانی کھینچتی ہے، صحیح سالم اور بے داغ ہے، اس پر وہ پکار اٹھے کہ ہاں، اب تم نے ٹھیک پتہ بتایا ہے پھر انہوں نے اسے ذبح کیا، ورنہ وہ ایسا کرتے معلوم نہ ہوتے تھے

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.
