And not was for a human being that talks to him the One, except an inspiration, or from behind a veil, or sending a messenger thus revealing by His permission what He desires; indeed He is above all of wisdom.

And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that) He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted, Wise.

اورکسی انسان کے لئے یہ بات نہیں ہے کہ اللہ اس سے کلام کرے مگر یہ کہ وحی کردے یا پس پردہ سے بات کر لے یا کوئی نمائندہ فرشتہ بھیج دے اور پھر وہ اس کی اجازت سے جو وہ چاہتا ہے وہ پیغام پہنچا دے کہ وہ یقینا بلند و بالا اور صاحبِ حکمت ہے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
کسی بشر کا یہ مقام نہیں ہے کہ اللہ اُس سے روبرو بات کرے اُس کی بات یا تو وحی (اشارے) کے طور پر ہوتی ہے، یا پردے کے پیچھے سے، یا پھر وہ کوئی پیغام بر (فرشتہ) بھیجتا ہے اور وہ اُس کے حکم سے جو کچھ وہ چاہتا ہے، وحی کرتا ہے، وہ برتر اور حکیم ہے
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور کسی آدمی کو نہیں پہنچتا کہ اللہ اس سے کلام فرمائے مگر وحی کے طور پر یا یوں کہ وہ بشر پر وہ عظمت کے ادھر ہو یا کوئی فرشتہ بھیجے کہ وہ اس کے حکم سے وحی کرے جو وہ چاہے بیشک وہ بلندی و حکمت والا ہے،

- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿

- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿

اور اسی طرح ہم نے آپ کی طرف اپنے حکم سے روح (قرآن) کی وحی کی ہے آپ کونہیں معلوم تھا کہ کتاب کیا ہے اورایمان کن چیزوں کا نام ہے لیکن ہم نے اسے ایک نور قرار دیا ہے جس کے ذریعہ اپنے بندوں میں جسے چاہتے ہیں اسے ہدایت دے دیتے ہیں اور بیشک آپ لوگوں کو سیدھے راستہ کی ہدایت کررہے ہیں

اور یونہی ہم نے تمہیں وحی بھیجی ایک جان فزا چیز اپنے حکم سے، اس سے پہلے نہ تم کتاب جانتے تھے نہ احکام شرع کی تفصیل ہاں ہم نے اسے نور کیا جس سے ہم راہ دکھاتے ہیں اپنے بندوں سے جسے چاہتے ہیں، اور بیشک تم ضرور سیدھی راہ بتاتے ہو

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.
