⦿
Know that the life of the world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children; as the likeness of vegetation after rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman, but afterward it drieth up and thou seest it turning yellow, then it becometh straw. And in the Hereafter there is grievous punishment, and (also) forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure, whereas the life of the world is but matter of illusion.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
Know that the life of this world is mere diversion and play, glamour and mutual vainglory among you and rivalry for wealth and children—like rain, whose growth impresses the farmer. Then it withers and you see it turn yellow, then it becomes chaff. Whereas in the Hereafter there is forgiveness from Allah and His approval and a severe punishment. The life of this world is nothing but the wares of delusion.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
Know that the worldly life is only a game, a temporary attraction, a means of boastfulness among yourselves and a place for multiplying your wealth and children. It is like the rain which produces plants that are attractive to the unbelievers. These plants flourish, turn yellow, and then become crushed bits of straw. In the life hereafter there will be severe torment or forgiveness and mercy from God. The worldly life is only an illusion.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
Know that this world's life is only sport and play and gaiety and boasting among yourselves, and a vying in the multiplication of wealth and children, like the rain, whose causing the vegetation to grow, pleases the husbandmen, then it withers away so that you will see it become yellow, then it becomes dried up and broken down; and in the hereafter is a severe chastisement and (also) forgiveness from Allah and (His) pleasure; and this world's life is naught but means of deception.
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
Never forget that the life of this world is only a game and a passing delight, a show, and mutual boasting and trying to outrival each other in riches and children. It is like the growth of vegetation after the rain, which delights the planter, but which then withers away, turns yellow and becomes worthless stubble. In the life to come there will be a terrible punishment, or God's forgiveness and approval: the life of this world is nothing but means of deception.
- Wahiduddin Khan

یاد رکھو کہ زندگی دنیا صرف ایک کھیل, تماشہ, آرائش, باہمی تفاخراور اموال و اولاد کی کثرت کا مقابلہ ہے اور بس جیسے کوئی بارش ہو جس کی قوت نامیہ کسان کو خوش کردے اور اس کے بعد وہ کھیتی خشک ہوجائے پھر تم اسے زرد دیکھو اور آخر میں وہ ریزہ ریزہ ہوجائے اور آخرت میں شدید عذاب بھی ہے اور مغفرت اور رضائے الۤہیبھی ہے اور زندگانی دنیا تو بس ایک دھوکہ کا سرمایہ ہے اور کچھ نہیں ہے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
خوب جان لو کہ یہ دنیا کی زندگی اس کے سوا کچھ نہیں کہ ایک کھیل اور دل لگی اور ظاہری ٹیپ ٹاپ اور تمہارا آپس میں ایک دوسرے پر فخر جتانا اور مال و اولاد میں ایک دوسرے سے بڑھ جانے کی کوشش کرنا ہے اس کی مثال ایسی ہے جیسے ایک بارش ہو گئی تو اس سے پیدا ہونے والی نباتات کو دیکھ کر کاشت کار خوش ہو گئے پھر وہی کھیتی پک جاتی ہے اور تم دیکھتے ہو کہ وہ زرد ہو گئی پھر وہ بھس بن کر رہ جاتی ہے اِس کے برعکس آخرت وہ جگہ ہے جہاں سخت عذاب ہے اور اللہ کی مغفرت اور اس کی خوشنودی ہے دنیا کی زندگی ایک دھوکے کی ٹٹی کے سوا کچھ نہیں
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
جان لو کہ دنیا کی زندگی تو نہیں مگر کھیل کود اور آرائش اور تمہارا آپس میں بڑائی مارنا اور مال اور اولاد میں ایک دوسرے پر زیادتی چاہنا اس مینھ کی طرح جس کا اُگایاسبزہ کسانوں کو بھایا پھر سوکھا کہ تو اسے زرد دیکھے پھر روندن (پامال کیا ہوا) ہوگیا اور آخرت میں سخت عذاب ہے اور اللہ کی طرف سے بخشش اور اس کی رضا اور دنیا کا جینا تو نہیں مگر دھوکے کا مال
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
اور خوب جان لو کہ دنیا کی زندگی کھیل تماشہ، ظاہری زیب و زینت، باہمی فخر و مباہات اورمال و اولاد میں ایک دوسرے سے بڑھ جانے کی کوشش ہے اس کے سو اکچھ نہیں ہے۔ اس (کے عارضی ہو نے) کی مثال ایسی ہے جیسے بارش کہ اس کی نباتات (پیداوار) کافروں (کسانوں) کو حیرت میں ڈال دیتی ہے پھر وہ خشک ہو کر پکنے لگتی ہے تو تم دیکھتے ہو کہ وہ زرد ہو گئی ہے پھر وہ ریزہ ریزہ ہوجاتی ہے اور (کفار کیلئے) آخرت میں سخت عذاب ہے اور (مؤمنین کیلئے) اللہ کی طرف سے بخشش اور خوشنودی ہے اور دنیاوی زندگی دھوکے کے ساز و سامان کے سوا کچھ نہیں 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.
