Joseph's brothers said to one another, [There is no doubt that Joseph and his brother are more loved by our father, even though we are all his offspring. He (our father) is certainly in manifest error.]

جب ان لوگوں نے کہا کہ یوسف اور ان کے بھائی (ابن یامین)ہمارے باپ کی نگاہ میں زیادہ محبوب ہیں حالانکہ ہماری ایک بڑی جماعت ہے یقیناہمارے ماں باپ ایک کھلی ہوئی گمراہی میں مبتلا ہیں
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
یہ قصہ یوں شروع ہوتا ہے کہ اس کے بھائیوں نے آپس میں کہا ——یہ یوسفؑ اور اس کا بھائی، دونوں ہمارے والد کو ہم سب سے زیادہ محبوب ہیں حالانکہ ہم ایک پورا جتھا ہیں سچی بات یہ ہے کہ ہمارے ابا جان با لکل ہی بہک گئے ہیں
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
جب بولے کہ ضرور یوسف اور اس کا بھائی ہمارے باپ کو ہم سے زیادہ پیارے ہیں اور ہم ایک جماعت ہیں بیشک ہمارے باپ صراحةً ان کی محبت میں ڈوبے ہوئے ہیں
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
جب انہوں (یوسف کے سوتیلے بھائیوں) نے آپس میں کہا کہ باوجودیکہ ہم پوری جماعت ہیں مگر یوسف اور اس کا (سگا) بھائی (بن یامین) ہمارے باپ کو زیادہ پیارے ہیں بے شک ہمارے باپ کھلی ہوئی غلطی پر ہیں۔

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.
