پھر شیطان نے ان دونوں میں وسوسہ پیدا کرایا کہ جن شرم کے مقامات کو چھپا رکھا ہے وہ نمایاں ہوجائیں اور کہنے لگا کہ تمہارے پروردگار نے تمہیں اس درخت سے صرف اس لئے روکا ہے کہ تم فرشتے ہوجاؤ گے یا تم ہمیشہ رہنے والو میں سے ہوجاؤ گے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
پھر شیطان نے اُن کو بہکایا تاکہ ان کی شرمگاہیں جو ایک دوسرے سے چھپائی گئی تھیں ان کے سامنے کھول دے اس نے ان سے کہا، ——تمہارے رب نے تمہیں جو اس درخت سے روکا ہے اس کی وجہ اِس کے سوا کچھ نہیں ہے کہ کہیں تم فرشتے نہ بن جاؤ، یا تمہیں ہمیشگی کی زندگی حاصل نہ ہو جائے
- Maududi, Abul A'ala

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.
