جب ان سے کہا جاتا ہے کہ خدا کے نازل کئے ہوئے پر ایمان لے آؤ تو کہتے ہیں کہ ہم صرف اس پر ایمان لے آئیں گے جو ہم پر نازل ہوا ہے اور اس کے علاوہ سب کا انکار کردیتے ہیں. اگرچہ وہ بھی حق ہے اور ان کے پاس جو کچھ ہے اس کی تصدیق کرنے والا بھی ہے. اب آپ ان سے کہئے کہ اگر تم مومن ہو تو اس سے پہلے انبیائ خدا کو قتل کیوں کرتے تھے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan

جب اُن سے کہا جاتا ہے کہ جو کچھ اللہ نے نازل کیا ہے اس پر ایمان لاؤ، تو وہ کہتے ہیں ——ہم تو صرف اُس چیز پر ایمان لاتے ہیں، جو ہمارے ہاں (یعنی نسل اسرائیل) میں اتری ہے—— اس دائرے کے باہر جو کچھ آیا ہے، اسے ماننے سے وہ انکار کرتے ہیں، حالانکہ وہ حق ہے اور اُس تعلیم کی تصدیق و تائید کر رہا ہے جو ان کے ہاں پہلے سے موجود تھی اچھا، ان سے کہو: اگر تم اس تعلیم ہی پر ایمان رکھنے والے ہو جو تمہارے ہاں آئی تھی، تو اس سے پہلے اللہ کے اُن پیغمبروں کو (جو خود بنی اسرائیل میں پیدا ہوئے تھے) کیوں قتل کرتے رہے؟
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور جب ان سے کہا جائے کہ اللہ کے اتارے پر ایمان لاؤ تو کہتے ہیں وہ جو ہم پر اترا اس پر ایمان لاتے ہیں اور باقی سے منکر ہوتے ہیں حالانکہ وہ حق ہے ان کے پاس والے کی تصدیق فرماتا ہوا تم فرماؤ کہ پھر اگلے انبیاء کو کیوں شہید کیا اگر تمہیں اپنی کتاب پر ایمان تھا -

اور جب ان سے کہا جاتا ہے کہ جو (قرآن) اللہ نے نازل کیا ہے اس پر ایمان لاؤ۔ تو وہ کہتے ہیں کہ ہم اس پر تو ایمان رکھتے ہیں جو ہم (بنی اسرائیل) پر نازل کیا گیا ہے مگر اس کے علاوہ جو کچھ (قرآن، انجیل وغیرہ) ہے اس کا انکار کرتے ہیں حالانکہ وہ حق ہے اور جو ان کے پاس موجود ہے (توراۃ) اس کی بھی تصدیق کرتا ہے (اے رسول) آپ ان سے کہیے کہ اگر تم (توراۃ پر) ایمان رکھتے تھے تو اس سے پہلے (اگلے زمانہ) میں اللہ کے نبیوں کو کیوں قتل کرتے رہے ہو؟ ۔

And whenever was said to them, [Have peace of mind with what has descended the One.], they said, [We are at peace with what (already) has been established upon us.], and they denied about what was coming up after it, while it was the truth — a confirmation for whatever is with them. Say, [Then why did you murder the appointed leaders of the One from before if you were at peace about what you knew?] [ 2 : 91 ]

CONSTITUTION OF THE ONE WHO IS THE NOURISHER, THE SAFE-KEEPER
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.
