⦿
And the idolaters say: Had Allah willed, we had not worshipped aught beside Him, we and our fathers, nor had we forbidden aught without (command from) Him. Even so did those before them. Are the messengers charged with aught save plain conveyance (of the message)?
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
The polytheists say, [Had Allah wished, we would not have worshiped anything besides Him—neither we, nor our fathers—nor we would have forbidden anything without His sanction.] Those who were before them had acted likewise. Is the apostles] duty anything but to communicate in clear terms?
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
The pagans had said, [Had God wanted we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, nor would our fathers. We would not have forbidden anything without (a command from) Him.] The same thing was said by the people who lived before them. Are the Messengers expected to do more than just preach?
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And they who give associates (to Allah) say: If Allah had pleased, we would not have served anything besides Allah, (neither) we nor our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything without (order from) Him. Thus did those before them; is then aught incumbent upon the apostles except a plain delivery (of the message)?
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
Those who associate [others with God] say, [If God had so willed we would not have worshipped anything besides Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything without His sanction.] So did those who went before them. The duty of the messengers is only to convey the message clearly.

اور مشرکین کہتے ہیں کہ اگر خدا چاہتا تو ہم یا ہمارے بزرگ اس کے علاوہ کسی کی عبادت نہ کرتے اور نہ اس کے حکم کے بغیر کسی شے کو حرام قرار دیتے - اسی طرح ان کے پہلے والوں نے بھی کیا تھا تو کیا رسولوں کی ذمہ دری واضح اعلان کے علاوہ کچھ اور بھی ہے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
یہ مشرکین کہتے ہیں ——اگر اللہ چاہتا تو نہ ہم اور نہ ہمارے باپ دادا اُس کے سوا کسی اور کی عبادت کرتے اور نہ اُس کے حکم کے بغیر کسی چیز کو حرام ٹھیراتے—— ایسے ہی بہانے اِن سے پہلے کے لوگ بھی بناتے رہے ہیں تو کیا رسولوں پر صاف صاف بات پہنچا دینے کے سوا اور بھی کوئی ذمہ داری ہے؟
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور مشرک بولے اللہ چاہتا تو اس کے سوا کچھ نہ پوجنے نہ ہم اور نہ ہمارے باپ دادا اور نہ اس سے جدا ہو کر ہم کوئی چیز حرام ٹھہراتے جیسا ہی ان سے اگلوں نے کیا تو رسولوں پر کیا ہے مگر صاف پہنچا دینا،
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
اور مشرک لوگ کہتے ہیں کہ اگر اللہ چاہتا تو ہم اور ہمارے آباء و اجداد اس کے سوا نہ کسی اور کی عبادت کرتے اور نہ ہی ہم اس کے حکم کے بغیر کسی چیز کو حرام کرتے ایسا ہی ان لوگوں نے کیا جو ان سے پہلے تھے (بتاؤ) پیغمبروں کے ذمے کھلا پیغام دینے کے سوا اور کیا 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.
