And ifyou bring tothe ones who,have been giventhe Book,with all ofsigns,notthey will followyour direction,and neither areyouto followtheir direction,noreven others of themare followingdirection ofother ones (everyone is in a disarray);and ifyou adhere totheir whimsfromafterwhathas come to youofthe knowledge,then youin that case will beof those who arethe people in darkness.
And even if thou broughtest unto those who have received the Scripture all kinds of portents, they would not follow thy qiblah, nor canst thou be a follower of their qiblah; nor are some of them followers of the qiblah of others. And if thou shouldst follow their desires after the knowledge which hath come unto thee, then surely wert thou of the evil-doers.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke

Even if you bring those who were given the Book every [kind of] sign, they will not follow your qiblah. Nor shall you follow their qiblah, nor will any of them follow the qiblah of the other. And if you follow their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you will be one of the wrongdoers.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
Even if you were to bring all kinds of authoritative proof to the People of the Book, they still would not accept your qibla, nor would you accept theirs, nor would they accept each others. Were you to follow their desires after all the knowledge that has come to you, you would certainly have been one of the unjust.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And even if you bring to those who have been given the Book every sign they would not follow your qiblah, nor can you be a follower of their qiblah, neither are they the followers of each other's qiblah, and if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, then you shall most surely be among the unjust.
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
But even if you should produce every kind of sign for those who have been given the Book, they would never accept your prayer direction, nor would you accept their prayer direction: nor would any of them accept one another's direction. If, after all the knowledge you have been given, you yield to their desires, then, you shall surely become a transgressor.

اگر آپ ان اہلِ کتاب کے پاس تمام آیتیں بھی پیش کردیں کہ یہ آپ کے قبلہ کو مان لیں تو ہرگز نہ مانیں گے اور آپ بھی ان کے قبلہ کو نہ مانیں گے اور یہ آپس میں بھی ایک دوسرے کے قبلہ کو نہیں مانتے اور علم کے آجانے کے بعد اگر آپ ان کی خواہشات کا اتباع کرلیں گے تو آپ کا شمار ظالموں میں ہوجائے گا
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
تم ان اہل کتاب کے پاس خواہ کوئی نشانی لے آؤ، ممکن نہیں کہ یہ تمہارے قبلے کی پیروی کرنے لگیں، اور نہ تمہارے لیے یہ ممکن ہے کہ ان کے قبلے کی پیروی کرو، اور ان میں سے کوئی گروہ بھی دوسرے کے قبلے کی پیروی کے لیے تیار نہیں ہے، او ر اگر تم نے اس علم کے بعد جو تمہارے پاس آ چکا ہے، ان کی خواہشات کی پیروی کی، تو یقیناً تمہارا شمار ظالموں میں ہوگا
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور اگر تم ان کتابیوں کے پاس ہر نشانی لے کر آ ؤ وہ تمہارے قبلہ کی پیروی نہ کریں گے اور نہ تم ان کے قبلہ کی پیروی کرو اور وہ آپس میں بھی ایک دوسرے کے قبلہ کے تابع نہیں اور (اے سننے والے کسے باشد) اگر تو ان کی خواہشوں پر چلا بعد اس کے کہ تجھے علم مل چکا تو اس وقت تو ضرور ستم گر ہوگا۔
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
اور اگر آپ اہل کتاب کے سامنے سارے معجزے (دنیا جہان کے سارے دلائل) پیش کر دیں۔ تب بھی وہ آپ کے قبلہ کی پیروی نہیں کریں گے۔ اور نہ ہی آپ ان کے قبلہ کی پیروی کریں گے۔ اور وہ خود بھی ایک دوسرے کے قبلہ کو نہ مانتے ہیں اور نہ پیروی کرتے ہیں۔ اور اس علم کے بعد جو (منجانب اللہ) تمہارے پاس آچکا ہے اگر ان لوگوں کی خواہشات کی پیروی کروگے تو تمہارا شمار ظالموں (حد سے تجاوز کرنے والوں) میں ہو جائے گا۔
- Najafi, Muhammad
And if you bring to the ones who, have been given the Book, with all of signs, not they will follow your direction, and neither are you to follow their direction, nor even others of them are following direction of other ones (everyone is in a disarray); and if you adhere to their whims from after what has come to you of the knowledge, then you in that case will be of those who are the people in darkness. [ 2 : 145 ]
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.
