Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 6:17 IF GOD TOUCH THEE WITH AFFLICTION, THERE IS NONE THAT CAN RELIEVE THEREFROM SAVE HIM, and if He touch thee with good fortune, He is Able to do all things. In because it is the flat exclusion - nothing else relieves - and it covers both directions.
  2. 02 39:38 And verily, if thou shouldst ask them: who created the heavens and the earth? they will say: God. Say: bethink you then of those ye worship beside God - IF GOD WILLED SOME HURT FOR ME, COULD THEY REMOVE FROM ME HIS HURT; OR IF HE WILLED SOME MERCY FOR ME, COULD THEY RESTRAIN HIS MERCY? Say: God is my all. In because it puts the question as a challenge and names both directions - removing harm and restraining mercy - which is exactly what a talisman is supposed to do.
  3. 03 17:56–57 Say: cry unto those beside Him whom ye assume. THEY HAVE NO POWER TO REMOVE AFFLICTION FROM YOU, NOR TO CHANGE. Those unto whom they cry seek the way of approach to their Lord, which of them shall be the nearest; they hope for His mercy and they fear His doom. In as ONE PASSAGE because 17:57 says the objects appealed to are themselves petitioners, which is the sharpest argument in the set.
  4. 04 113:4 And from the evil of MALIGNANT WITCHCRAFT - those who blow upon knots. In because it is the one place the Qur'an mentions the practice of tying and blowing on knots, and it names it as an evil to seek refuge FROM rather than a technique to use. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about seeking refuge from evil (the mu'awwidhat)?, with a different reason there.
  5. 05 9:129 Now, if they turn away, say: GOD SUFFICETH ME. THERE IS NO GOD SAVE HIM. In Him have I put my trust, and He is Lord of the Tremendous Throne. In because it is the alternative the Qur'an offers in place of any object - a sentence rather than a thing.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

No, and the Qur'an addresses the underlying logic rather than the objects.

6:17 states the exclusion: IF GOD TOUCH THEE WITH AFFLICTION, THERE IS NONE THAT CAN RELIEVE THEREFROM SAVE HIM. Nothing intervenes.

39:38 turns it into a challenge and frames it in exactly the terms a talisman claims. Ask them who made the heavens and the earth and they will say God - then ask about the things they appeal to beside Him: IF GOD WILLED SOME HURT FOR ME, COULD THEY REMOVE IT? OR IF HE WILLED SOME MERCY FOR ME, COULD THEY RESTRAIN IT? Removing harm and securing benefit is precisely the function an amulet is worn for, and the verse asks whether anything can do it.

17:56-57 makes the sharpest argument. The things cried to HAVE NO POWER TO REMOVE AFFLICTION NOR TO CHANGE - and then, remarkably, it says those very objects of appeal are themselves SEEKING THE WAY OF APPROACH TO THEIR LORD, hoping for His mercy and fearing His doom. The intermediaries are petitioners.

113:4 is the one place a practice of this kind is named - THOSE WHO BLOW UPON KNOTS - and it appears in a list of evils to seek refuge FROM.

One drop deserves attention because it shows how easily this could go wrong: 20:27 has Moses praying LOOSE A KNOT FROM MY TONGUE, about a speech impediment. A search on the word alone would have filed it here.

What the Qur'an offers instead of an object is a sentence: 9:129, GOD SUFFICETH ME. The practice of wearing verses is later custom, and no source for it has cleared the rights audit.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 6:17, widening across 5 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 5 passages, each with every cleared translation

5 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Thuaj: "Atëherë, më thoni, ata, të cilëve u luteni pos Allahut, a mund të largojnë dëmin nëse Allahu dëshiron të më dëmtojë, ose a mund të ndalojnë mëshirën e Tij nëse Ai dëshiron të më mëshirojë?!" Thuaj: "Mua më mjafton Allahu; vetëm Atij le t'i mbështeten ata që mbështeten."

হে রাসূল! তুমি যদি তাদেরকে জিজ্ঞাসা কর, কে আসমানসমূহ ও জমিন সৃষ্টি করেছেন? তারা অবশ্যই বলবে: ‘আল্লাহ’। হে রাসূল! বলো: ‘তোমরা কি ভেবে দেখেছ- আল্লাহ আমার কোন ক্ষতি চাইলে, তোমরা আল্লাহর পরিবর্তে যাদেরকে ডাক, তারা কি সেই ক্ষতি দূর করতে পারবে? অথবা তিনি আমাকে রহমত করতে চাইলে, তারা সেই রহমত বারণ করতে পারবে?! বলো: ‘আমার জন্য আল্লাহই যথেষ্ট।’ তাওয়াক্কুলকারীগণ তাঁর ওপরই তাওয়াক্কুল করে।

17:56 უთხარი [ო, შუამავალო] [მრავალღმერთიანებს]: «მოუხმეთ იმათ, რემლებზედაც ამტკიცებდით [რომ თითქოს ისინი ღირსნი არიან თაყვანისცემის.] მის [ალლაჰის] გარდა. მათ არ შეუძლიათ ზარალის აცილება თქვენთვის და არც შეცვლა».

17:57 ისინი [წინასწარმეტყველები, მართალნი და ანგელოზები], რომელთაც მრავალღმერთიანები ევედრებიან და მიმართავენ, თავადვე ეძებენ გზას თავიანთ უფალთან დასაახლოებლად [ისწრაფვიან მისი კმაყოფილების მოსაპოვებლად]; ცდილობენ, რომელი მათგანი უფრო ახლოს იქნება [ალლაჰის კმაყოფილებასთან], იმედოვნებენ მის წყალობას და ეშინიათ მისი სასჯელის. ჭეშმარიტად, შენი უფლის სასჯელის უნდა ერიდებოდეს ადამიანი!

17:57 जिन्हें ये (मुश्रिक) लोग[33] पुकारते हैं, वे स्वयं अपने पालनहार की निकटता का साधन[34] तलाश करते हैं कि उनमें से कौन (अल्लाह से) सबसे अधिक निकट हो जाए, तथा उसकी दया की आशा रखते हैं और उसकी यातना से डरते हैं। निःसंदेह आपके पालनहार की यातना डरने की चीज़ है।

Talal Itani2012 Nothing prevents Us from sending miraculous signs, except that the ancients called them lies. We gave Thamood the she-camel, a visible sign, but they mistreated her. We do not send the signs except to instill reverence.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 Naught hindereth Us from sending portents save that the folk of old denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel - a clear portent save to warn

Edward Henry Palmer1880 Naught hindered us from sending thee with signs, save that those of yore said they were lies; so we gave Thamud the visible she-camel, but they treated her unjustly! for we do not send (any one) with signs save to make men fear

John Medows Rodwell1861 Nothing hindered us from sending thee with the power of working miracles, except that the peoples of old treated them as lies. We gave to Themoud the she-camel before their very eyes, yet they maltreated her! We send not a prophet with miracles but to strike terror

George Sale1734 Nothing hindered us from sending thee with miracles, except that the former nations have charged them with imposture.

Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ نَّظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ هَلْ يَرَىٰكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ ثُمَّ ٱنصَرَفُوا۟ صَرَفَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُم بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ

Talal Itani2012 And whenever a chapter is revealed, they look at one another, "Does anyone see you?" Then they slip away. God has diverted their hearts, because they are a people who do not understand.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And whenever a surah is revealed, they look one at another (as who should say): Doth anybody see you? Then they turn away. Allah turneth away their hearts because they are a folk who understand not

Edward Henry Palmer1880 And whenever a surah is sent down, some of them look at the others - 'Does any one see you?' - Then they turn away! God has turned their hearts, for that they are a people who do not discern

John Medows Rodwell1861 And whenever a Sura is sent down, they look at one another. . . . "Doth any one see you?" then turn they aside. God shall turn their hearts aside, because they are a people devoid of understanding

George Sale1734 And whenever a sura is sent down, they look at one another, saying, doth any one see you? Then do they turn aside. God shall turn aside their hearts from the truth; because they are a people who do not understand

The translators word this verse differently

Talal Itani2012 There has come to you a messenger from among yourselves, concerned over your suffering, anxious over you. Towards the believers, he is compassionate and merciful.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 There hath come unto you a messenger, (one) of yourselves, unto whom aught that ye are overburdened is grievous, full of concern for you, for the believers full of pity, merciful

Edward Henry Palmer1880 There has come to you an apostle from amongst yourselves; hard for him to bear is it that ye commit iniquity; he is anxious over you after the believers, pitiful, compassionate

John Medows Rodwell1861 Now hath an Apostle come unto you from among yourselves: your iniquities press heavily upon him. He is careful over you, and towards the faithful, compassionate, merciful

George Sale1734 Now hath an apostle come unto you of our own nation, an excellent person: It is grievous unto him that ye commit wickedness; He is careful over you, and compassionate and merciful towards the believers

9:129 — the verse above

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it5 of the 6 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 6:17, 39:38, 17:56-57, 113:4, 9:129, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - if + god + touch + thee + with + affliction + there + is + none + that + can + relieve; say + god + sufficeth + me; they + cannot + remove + it + nor + can + they + transfer + it; knot; blow + upon + knots. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

What was returned and not carried. 4 verse(s) the search qualified are recorded as not carried with a reason each, rather than silently discarded: 17:96 - about testimony; 20:27 - Moses' prayer about his speech - the same word for knot, an entirely different sense. A single-word search would have made this a verse about talismans; 29:52 - near-identical to 17:96; 46:8 - about the accusation of invention.

Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
