⦿
He sendeth down water from the sky, so that valleys flow according to their measure, and the flood beareth (on its surface) swelling foam - from that which they smelt in the fire in order to make ornaments and tools riseth a foam like unto it - thus Allah coineth (the similitude of) the true and the false. Then, as for the foam, it passeth away as scum upon the banks, while, as for that which is of use to mankind, it remaineth in the earth. Thus Allah coineth the similitudes.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
He sends down water from the sky whereat the valleys are flooded to [the extent of] their capacity, and the flood carries along a swelling scum. And from what they smelt in the fire for the purpose of [making] ornaments or wares, [there arises] a similar scum. That is how Allah compares truth and falsehood. As for the scum, it leaves as dross, and that which profits the people stays in the earth. That is how Allah draws comparisons.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
When God sends down water from the sky and floods run through the valleys, certain quantities of foam rise on the surface of the flood water. This is similar to that foam which rises when you expose something to the heat of a fire to manufacture ornaments or for other reasons. To God Truth and falsehood are like these examples. The foam disappears but what is profitable to the human being stays in the land. Thus, does God coin His parables.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
He sends down water from the cloud, then watercourses flow (with water) according to their measure, and the torrent bears along the swelling foam, and from what they melt in the fire for the sake of making ornaments or apparatus arises a scum like it; thus does Allah compare truth and falsehood; then as for the scum, it passes away as a worthless thing; and as for that which profits the people, it tarries in the earth; thus does Allah set forth parables.
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
He sends down water from the sky that fills riverbeds to overflowing, each according to its measure. The torrent carries along swelling foam, akin to what rises from smelted ore from which man makes ornaments and tools. God thus depicts truth and falsehood. The scum is cast away, but whatever is of use to man remains behind. God thus speaks in parables.
- Wahiduddin Khan
⦿
اس نے آسمان سے پانی برسایا تو وادیوں میں بقدر ظرف بہنے لگا اور سیلاب میں جوش کھا کر جھاگ آگیا اور اس دھات سے بھی جھاگ پیدا ہوگیا جسے آگ پر زیور یا کوئی دوسرا سامان بنانے کے لئے پگھلاتے ہیں. اسی طرح پروردگار حق و باطل کی مثال بیان کرتا ہے کہ جھاگ خشک ہوکر فنا ہوجاتا ہے اور جو لوگوں کو فائدہ پہنچانے والا ہے وہ زمین میں باقی رہ جاتا ہے اور خدا اسی طرح مثالیں بیان کرتا ہے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
اللہ نے آسمان سے پانی برسایا اور ہر ندی نالہ اپنے ظرف کے مطابق اسے لے کر چل نکلا پھر جب سیلاب اٹھا تو سطح پر جھاگ بھی آ گئے اور ویسے ہی جھاگ اُن دھاتوں پر بھی اٹھتے ہیں جنہیں زیور اور برتن وغیرہ بنانے کے لیے لوگ پگھلایا کرتے ہیں اِسی مثال سے اللہ حق اور باطل کے معاملے کو واضح کرتا ہے جو جھاگ ہے وہ اڑ جایا کرتا ہے اور جو چیز انسانوں کے لیے نافع ہے وہ زمین میں ٹھیر جاتی ہے اس طرح اللہ مثالوں سے اپنی بات سمجھاتا ہے
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اس نے آسمان سے پانی اتارا تو نالے اپنے اپنے لائق بہہ نکلے تو پانی کی رو اس پر ابھرے ہوئے جھاگ اٹھا لائی، اور جس پر آگ دہکاتے ہیں گہنا یا اور اسباب بنانے کو اس سے بھی ویسے ہی جھاگ اٹھتے ہیں اللہ بتاتا ہے کہ حق و باطل کی یہی مثال ہے، تو جھاگ تو پھک (جل) کر دور ہوجاتا ہے، اور وہ جو لوگوں کے کام آئے زمین میں رہتا ہے اللہ یوں ہی مثالیں بیان فرماتا ہے،
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
اسی (اللہ) نے آسمان سے پانی برسایا جس سے ندی نالے اپنی مقدار کے مطابق بہنے لگے اور (میل کچیل سے جھاگ اٹھا تو) سیلاب کی رو نے اس ابھرے ہوئے جھاگ کو اٹھا لیا اور جن چیزوں (دھاتوں) کو لوگ زیور یا کوئی اور چیز (برتن وغیرہ) بنانے کے لیے آگ کے اندر تپاتے ہیں ان سے بھی ایسا ہی جھاگ اٹھتا ہے اسی طرح اللہ تعالیٰ حق و باطل کی مثال بیان کرتا ہے پس جو جھاگ ہے وہ تو رائیگاں چلا جاتا ہے اور جو چیز (پانی اور دھات) لوگوں کو فائدہ پہنچاتی ہے وہ زمین میں باقی رہ جاتی ہے اسی طرح اللہ تعالیٰ سمجھانے کے لیے مثالیں بیان کرتا ہے۔

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.
