Evil is that for which they sell their souls: that they should disbelieve in that which Allah hath revealed, grudging that Allah should reveal of His bounty unto whom He will of His slaves. They have incurred anger upon anger. For disbelievers is a shameful doom.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke

Evil is that for which they have sold their souls, by defying what Allah has sent down, out of envy that Allah should bestow His grace on any of His servants that He wishes. Thus, they earned wrath upon wrath, and there is a humiliating punishment for the faithless.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
Evil is that for which they have sold their souls: They have refused to accept God's revelations in rebellion against the servant of God whom He has, by His Grace, chosen to grant His message. They have brought upon themselves God's wrath in addition to the wrath that they had incurred upon themselves for their previous sins. The disbelievers will suffer a humiliating torment.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
Evil is that for which they have sold their souls-- that they should deny what Allah has revealed, out of envy that Allah should send down of His grace on whomsoever of His servants He pleases; so they have made themselves deserving of wrath upon wrath, and there is a disgraceful punishment for the unbelievers.
- Shakir, Habib

What they have sold their souls for is evil: to the denial of God's own revelation, grudging that He should reveal His bounty to whom He chooses from among His servants! They have incurred wrath upon wrath. Humiliating punishment awaits those who deny the truth.

ان لوگوں نے اپنے نفس کا کتنا برا سودا کیا ہے کہ زبردستی خدا کے نازل کئے کا انکار کر بیٹھے اس ضد میں کہ خدا اپنے فضل و کر م سے اپنے جس بندے پر جو چاہے نازل کردیتا ہے. اب یہ غضب بالائے غضب کے حقدار ہیں اور ان کے لئے رسوا کن عذاب بھی ہے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
کیسا برا ذریعہ ہے جس سے یہ اپنے نفس کی تسلی حاصل کرتے ہیں کہ جو ہدایت اللہ نے نازل کی ہے، اس کو قبول کرنے سے صرف اِس ضد کی بنا پر انکار کر رہے ہیں کہ اللہ نے اپنے فضل (وحی و رسالت) سے اپنے جس بندے کو خود چاہا، نواز دیا! لہٰذا اب یہ غضب بالائے غضب کے مستحق ہوگئے ہیں اور ایسے کافروں کے لیے سخت آمیز سزا مقرر ہے
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
کس برے مولوں انہوں نے اپنی جانوں کو خریدا کہ اللہ کے اتارے سے منکر ہوں اس کی جلن سے کہ اللہ اپنے فضل سے اپنے جس بندے پر چاہے وحی اتارلے تو غضب پر غضب کے سزاوار ہوئے اور کافروں کے لیے ذلت کا عذاب ہے -
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
سو کس قدر بری ہے وہ چیز جس کے عوض ان لوگوں نے اپنی جانوں کا سودا کیا ہے کہ محض اس ضد اور سرکشی کی بناء پر اللہ کی نازل کردہ کتاب کا انکار کر دیا کہ اس نے اپنے بندوں میں سے ایک خاص بندہ (نبی خاتم (ع)) پر اپنے فضل و کرم سے کیوں (وحی نبوت و کتاب) نازل کر دی؟ پس وہ اس روش کے نتیجہ میں (خدا کے) غضب بالائے غضب کے سزاوار ہوئے اور کافروں کے لئے ذلت آمیز عذاب ہے۔
- Najafi, Muhammad
Evil is what they purchased through it by themselves, that they deny with what has descended the One, revolting that establishes the One from His grace, upon those whom He desires from His servants. Thus, in repetition with punishment over punishment; and for the deniers a punishment of humiliation. [ 2 : 90 ]
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.
