And lo! there is a party of them who distort the Scripture with their tongues, that ye may think that what they say is from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say: It is from Allah, when it is not from Allah; and they speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
There is a group of them who alter their voice while reading out a text [that they have themselves authored], so that you may suppose it to be from the Book, though it is not from the Book, and they say, [It is from Allah,] though it is not from Allah, and they attribute lies to Allah, and they know [it].
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
A group among the People of the Book when reading the Bible, deliberately mispronounce words in order to change their meaning, try to show that what they have read is from the true Bible. In fact, what they have read is not from the true Bible. They say, [What we read is from God.] In reality, it is not from God. They knowingly ascribe false statements to God.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
Most surely there is a party amongst those who distort the Book with their tongue that you may consider it to be (a part) of the Book, and they say, It is from Allah, while it is not from Allah, and they tell a lie against Allah whilst they know.
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
There are some among them who distort the Book by the way they speak to make you think that what they say is from the Book, whereas it is not. They say it is from God whereas it is not. Thus they tell a lie about God and they know it.

ان ہی یہودیوں میں سے بعض وہ ہیں جو کتاب پڑھنے میں زبان کو توڑ موڑ دیتے ہیں تاکہ تم لوگ اس تحریف کو بھی اصل کتاب سمجھنے لگو حالانکہ وہ اصل کتاب نہیں ہے اور یہ لوگ کہتے ہیں کہ یہ سب اللہ کی طرف سے ہے حالانکہ اللہ کی طرف سے ہرگز نہیں ہے یہ خدا کے خلاف جھوٹ بولتے ہیں حالانکہ سب جانتے ہیں
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
اُن میں کچھ لوگ ایسے ہیں جو کتاب پڑھتے ہوئے اس طرح زبان کا الٹ پھیر کرتے ہیں کہ تم سمجھو جو کچھ وہ پڑھ رہے ہیں وہ کتاب ہی کی عبارت ہے، حالانکہ وہ کتاب کی عبارت نہیں ہوتی، وہ کہتے ہیں کہ یہ جو کچھ ہم پڑھ رہے ہیں یہ خدا کی طرف سے ہے، حالانکہ وہ خدا کی طرف سے نہیں ہوتا، وہ جان بوجھ کر جھوٹ بات اللہ کی طرف منسوب کر دیتے ہیں
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور ان میں کچھ وہ ہیں جو زبان پھیر کر کتاب میں میل (ملاوٹ) کرتے ہیں کہ تم سمجھو یہ بھی کتاب میں ہے اور وہ کتاب میں نہیں، اور وہ کہتے ہیں یہ اللہ کے پاس سے ہے اور وہ اللہ کے پاس سے نہیں، اور اللہ پر دیدہ و دانستہ جھوٹ باندھتے ہیں
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
بے شک ان (اہل کتاب) سے ایک گروہ ایسا بھی ہے۔ جو اپنی زبانوں کو کتاب (توراۃ وغیرہ) کے پڑھنے میں مروڑتا ہے اور کچھ کا کچھ پڑھتا ہے تاکہ تم یہ سمجھو کہ یہ (توڑ موڑ) بھی کتاب خدا میں سے ہے حالانکہ وہ کتاب میں سے نہیں ہے۔ اور کہتا ہے کہ وہ خدا کی طرف سے (آیا) ہے حالانکہ وہ خدا کی طرف سے نہیں ہے یہ جان بوجھ کر خدا پر جھوٹ باندھتا ہے۔
- Najafi, Muhammad
And it is that from them are sectarians who twist their language regarding the Book to make you think that it is from the Book, while not it is from the Book, and they say it is from nearing the One, while not it is from nearing the One, and they say upon the One lies, and they know. [ 3 : 78 ]

CONSTITUTION OF THE ONE WHO IS THE NOURISHER, THE SAFE-KEEPER
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.
