⦿
When ye were on the near bank (of the valley) and they were on the yonder bank, and the caravan was below you (on the coast plain). And had ye trysted to meet one another ye surely would have failed to keep the tryst, but (it happened, as it did, without the forethought of either of you) that Allah might conclude a thing that must be done; that he who perished (on that day) might perish by a clear proof (of His Sovereignty) and he who survived might survive by a clear proof (of His Sovereignty). Lo! Allah in truth is Hearer, Knower.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
When you were on the nearer side, and they on the farther side, while the caravan was below you, and had you agreed together on an encounter, you would have certainly failed to keep the tryst, but in order that Allah may carry through a matter that was bound to be fulfilled, so that he who perishes might perish by a manifest proof, and he who lives may live on by a manifest proof, and Allah is indeed all-hearing, all-knowing.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
Recall when your army was positioned at the less defensible brink of the valley, (the pagans') army had the more defensible higher side of the valley and the caravan was led (out of your reach) below. This situation did not take place according to your previous plans, otherwise, everything would have been different. (It was God's plan) to place you in a vulnerable position, exposed to the enemy and it was His plan to lead the caravan out of your reach) so that His decree that you would be granted a victory by a miracle would become a doubtless fact and so that those who were to be destroyed would face destruction with a clear knowledge of the Truth and those who were to survive would also survive with a clear knowledge of the Truth. God is All-hearing and All-knowing.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
When you were on the nearer side (of the valley) and they were on the farthest side, while the caravan was in a lower place than you; and if you had mutually made an appointment, you would certainly have broken away from the appointment, but-- in order that Allah might bring about a matter which was to be done, that he who would perish might perish by clear proof, and he who would live might live by clear proof; and most surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing;
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
You were on the nearer side of the valley, and they were on the farther side, and the caravan was below you. Had you wished to set a time by mutual agreement, you would certainly have disagreed on the timing. However, the encounter took place, so that God might settle a matter which had already been ordained, so that he who was to perish might perish after clear evidence of the truth, and he who was to live might live in clear evidence of the truth. Surely, God is all hearing and all-knowing.
- Wahiduddin Khan
⦿
جب کہ تم وادی کے قریبی محاذ پر تھے اور وہ لوگ دور والے محاذ پر تھے اور قافلہ تم سے نشیب میں تھا اور اگر تم پہلے سے جہاد کے وعدہ پر نکلتے تو یقینا اس کے خلاف کرتے لیکن خدا ہونے والے امر کا فیصلہ کرنا چاہتا تھا تاکہ جو ہلاک ہو وہ دلیل کے ساتھ اور جو زندہ رہے وہ بھی دلیل کے ساتھ اور اللہ سب کی سننے والا اور سب کے حال هدل کا جاننے والا ہے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
یاد کرو وہ وقت جبکہ تم وادی کے اِس جانب تھے اور وہ دُوسری جانب پڑاؤ ڈالے ہوئے تھے اور قافلہ تم سے نیچے (ساحل) کی طرف تھا اگر کہیں پہلے سے تمہارے اور ان کے درمیان مقابلہ کی قرارداد ہو چکی ہوتی تو تم ضرور اس موقع پر پہلو تہی کر جاتے، لیکن جو کچھ پیش آیا وہ اس لیے تھا کہ جس بات کا فیصلہ اللہ کر چکا تھا اسے ظہُور میں لے آئے تاکہ جسے ہلاک ہونا ہے وہ دلیل روشن کے ساتھ ہلاک ہو اور جسے زندہ رہنا ہے وہ دلیل روشن کے ساتھ زندہ رہے، یقیناً خدا سُننے والا اور جاننے والا ہے
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
جب تم نالے کے کنا رے تھے اور کافر پرلے کنا رے اور قا فلہ تم سے ترائی میں اور اگر تم آپس میں کوئی وعدہ کرتے تو ضرور وقت پر برابر نہ پہنچتے لیکن یہ اس لیے کہ اللہ پورا کرے جو کام ہونا ہے کہ جو ہلاک ہو دلیل سے ہلاک ہو اور جو جئے دلیل سے جئے اور بیشک اللہ ضرور سنتا جانتا ہے،
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
جس وقت تم قریب کے ناکہ پر تھے اور وہ دور کے ناکہ پر اور قافلہ تم سے ادھر نیچے (ساحل سمندر پر) تھا اگر تم ایک دوسرے سے وقت مقرر بھی کر لیتے تو بھی تم میں اختلاف ہو جاتا۔ لیکن خدا نے تو اس بات کو پورا کرنا تھا جو (مڈبھیڑ) ہونے والی تھی۔ تاکہ جو ہلاک ہو وہ اتمامِ حجت کے بعد ہلاک ہو اور جو زندہ رہے تو وہ بھی اتمام حجت کے بعد زندہ رہے بے شک اللہ بڑا سننے والا، بڑا جاننے والا 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.
