وائے ہو ان لوگوںپر جو اپنے ہاتھ سے کتاب لکھ کر یہ کہتے ہیں کہ یہ خدا کی طرف سے ہے تاکہ اسے تھوڑے دام میں بیچ لیں. ان کے لئے اس تحریر پر بھی عذاب ہے اور اس کی کمائی پر بھی
- Jawadi, Zeeshan

پس ہلاکت اور تباہی ہے اُن لوگوں کے لیے جو اپنے ہاتھوں سے شرع کا نوشتہ لکھتے ہیں، پھر لوگوں سے کہتے ہیں کہ یہ اللہ کے پاس سے آیا ہوا ہے تاکہ اس کے معاوضے میں تھوڑا سا فائدہ حاصل کر لیں ان کے ہاتھوں کا لکھا بھی ان کے لیے تباہی کا سامان ہے اور ان کی یہ کمائی بھی ان کے لیے موجب ہلاکت

سو خرابی و بربادی ہے ان لوگوں کے لئے جو اپنے ہاتھوں سے (جعلی) کتاب (تحریر) لکھتے ہیں اور پھر کہتے ہیں کہ یہ اللہ کی طرف سے (آئی) ہے تاکہ اس کے عوض تھوڑی سی قیمت (دنیوی فائدہ) حاصل کریں پس خرابی ہے ان کے لئے ان کے ہاتھوں کی لکھائی پر اور بربادی ہے۔ ان کے لئے ان کی اس کمائی پر ۔

Thus, woe for the ones who write the book by their hands, then afterwards they say, [This is from nearing the One.], for trading with it a price that is little. Thus, woe to them with what have written their hands, and affliction for them with what is earned by them. [ 2 : 79 ]
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.
