Your Lord is God; He who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself on the Throne. The night overtakes the day, as it pursues it persistently; and the sun, and the moon, and the stars are subservient by His command. His is the creation, and His is the command. Blessed is God, Lord of all beings.
Does the Qur'an describe a physical God seated on a throne?
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.
- 01 7:54 Your Lord is God Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then mounted He the Throne. In because it is the fullest of the throne verses and it places the mounting after the creating, in a sequence. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about creation in 'six days'? and What does the Qur'an say about night and day 'wrapping' each other?, each with its own reason.
- 02 20:5 The Beneficent One, Who is established on the Throne. In because it is the bare form of the same statement, with no surrounding narrative to soften or explain it.
- 03 42:11 The Creator of the heavens and the earth ... naught is as His likeness; and He is the Hearer, the Seer. In because it is the flat denial of resemblance, in the same book as the throne verses, and because the second half attributes hearing and seeing in the same breath.
- 04 3:7 He it is Who hath revealed the Scripture wherein are clear revelations - they are the substance of the Book - and others which are allegorical; but those in whose hearts is doubt pursue the allegorical. In because it is the text's own statement that some of its verses are not to be read the way the clear ones are, and it is the verse every side in this argument appeals to.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The Qur'an says both things, and it says them plainly.
It says God mounted or is established upon the Throne (7:54, 20:5). And it says naught is as His likeness (42:11). Any answer that reports only one of those is not reporting the text.
What 42:11 does is more than deny a body. It denies LIKENESS as such - nothing whatever resembles Him - and then, in the same verse, calls Him the Hearer and the Seer. So the verse that most firmly rules out physical resemblance also attributes faculties we only know in physical form. That is not a slip in the text; it is the shape of the problem.
3:7 is the verse the argument is actually conducted over. It says some verses are clear and are the substance of the Book, and others are allegorical, and it warns against pursuing the allegorical. It does not say WHICH are which. Every party to this dispute has claimed 3:7 - one side reading the throne verses as the allegorical ones to be referred back to 42:11, the other reading 42:11 as the clear statement and affirming the throne language without asking how.
That is the historical shape of the disagreement, and it is a real one within the tradition, not a controversy manufactured from outside it. This study can name it and cannot adjudicate it, because adjudicating it means quoting the theologians who argued it out - and no work of kalam and no has cleared the rights audit.
What can be said without a commentator: the reader who asks whether the Qur'an describes a physical God seated on a throne should be shown 20:5 AND 42:11 together, and told that the text asserts the throne and denies the likeness, and does not, in its own words, explain how both hold.
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 7:54, widening across 4 passages in all.
Easy-read
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.

Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then mounted He the Throne. He covereth the night with the day, which is in haste to follow it, and hath made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His command. His verily is all creation and commandment. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds
Verily, your Lord is God who created the heavens and the earth in six days; then He made for the Throne. He covers night with the day - it pursues it incessantly - and the sun and the moon and the stars are subject to His bidding. Aye!- His is the creation and the bidding,- blessed be God the Lord of the worlds
Your Lord is God, who in six days created the Heavens and the Earth, and then mounted the throne: He throweth the veil of night over the day: it pursueth it swiftly: and he created the sun and the moon and the stars, subjected to laws by His behest: Is not all creation and its empire His? Blessed be God the Lord of the Worlds
Verily your Lord is God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days; and then ascended his throne: He causeth the night to cover the day; it succeedeth the same swiftly: He also created the sun and the moon, and the stars, which are absolutly subject unto his command. Is not the whole creation, and the empire thereof, his? Blessed be God, the Lord of all creatures

In verità il vostro Dio è Allāh, Colui che ha creato i cieli e la terra in sei giorni, poi si stabilì sul Trono. Lui fa penetrare la notte nel giorno – che si rincorrono instancabilmente – rendendo il sole, la luna e le stelle asserviti, per Suo ordine. In verità Suo è il creato e il Regno! Gloria ad Allāh, Dio dei Mondi!

If you speak aloud-He knows the secret, and the most hidden.
And if thou speakest aloud, then lo! He knoweth the secret (thought) and (that which is yet) more hidden
And if thou art public in thy speech - yet, verily, he knows the secret, and more hidden still
Thou needest not raise thy voice: for He knoweth the secret whisper, and the yet more hidden

He prescribed for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We inspired to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: "You shall uphold the religion, and be not divided therein." As for the idolaters, what you call them to is outrageous to them. God chooses to Himself whom He wills, and He guides to Himself whoever repents.
He hath ordained for you that religion which He commended unto Noah, and that which We inspire in thee (Muhammad), and that which We commended unto Abraham and Moses and Jesus, saying: Establish the religion, and be not divided therein.

To you hath He prescribed the faith which He commanded unto Noah, and which we have revealed to thee, and which we commanded unto Abraham and Moses and Jesus, saying, "Observe this faith, and be not divided into sects therein." Intolerable to those who worship idols jointly with God Is that faith to which thou dost call them.

He hath ordained you the religion which He commanded Noah, and which We have revealed unto thee, O Mohammed, and which We commanded Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: Saying, observe this religion, and be not divided therein. The worship of one God, to which thou invitest them, is grievous unto the unbelievers: God will elect thereto whom He pleaseth, and will direct unto the same him who shall repent

(მხოლოდ) ის (ალლაჰი) არის, ვინც ჩამოგიგზავნა შენ (ო, მუჰამმად) წიგნი (ყურანი). მასში არის აიათები ერთმნიშვნელოვანი აზრით (მკაფიო და აშკარა მნიშვნელობის მქონე), რომლებიც წიგნის საფუძველს წარმოადგენენ, და არის სხვა აიათებიც — მრავალმნიშვნელოვანი (რომელთა განმარტება სხვადასხვაგვარად შეიძლება). რაც შეეხება მათ, ვის გულებშიც არის გადახრა (ჭეშმარიტებისგან), ისინი მიჰყვებიან იმას, რაც მასში მრავალმნიშვნელოვანია, სურთ რა შეიტანონ არეულობა (მორწმუნეთა შორის) და ეძებენ მის ისეთ განმარტებას, რომელიც შეესაბამება მათ მცდარ გზას. მაგრამ მისი ჭეშმარიტი განმარტება არ იცის არავინ, გარდა ალლაჰისა. ხოლო ცოდნაში მტკიცენი ამბობენ: «ვირწმუნეთ იგი (ყურანი); ყველაფერი ჩვენი უფლისგან არის». მაგრამ შეგონებას ყურს უგდებენ მხოლოდ საღი გონების მქონენი.
Er ist es, Der das Buch (als Offenbarung) auf dich hinabgesandt hat. Dazu gehören eindeutige Verse - sie sind der Kern des Buches - und andere, mehrdeutige (Verse). Was nun diejenigen angeht, in deren Herzen (Neigung zum) Abschweifen ist, so folgen sie dem, was davon mehrdeutig ist, (und dies) im Trachten nach Irreführung und im Trachten nach ihrer Missdeutung. Aber niemand weiß ihre Deutung außer Allah. Diejenigen aber, die im Wissen fest gegründet sind, sagen: „Wir glauben daran; alles ist von unserem Herrn.“ Und nur diejenigen bedenken, die Verstand besitzen.
Αυτός είναι που σου έστειλε (ω, Μωχάμμαντ), το Βιβλίο (το Κορ’άν). Στο οποίο υπάρχουν Εδάφια με ξεκάθαρες οριστικές σημασίες (στο μυαλό όλων των ανθρώπων), τα οποία είναι τα θεμέλια του Βιβλίου (και αποτελούν το μεγαλύτερο μέρος του) - και υπάρχουν και άλλα (Εδάφια) που μπορούν να ερμηνευτούν (στο μυαλό πολλών ανθρώπων) με παραπάνω από μια σημασία (και έτσι δεν ερμηνεύονται παρά μόνο υπό το φως των άλλων Εδαφίων που αποτελούν τα θεμέλια του Βιβλίου). Όσο γι’ εκείνους στις καρδιές των οποίων υπάρχει απόκλιση από την αλήθεια, (αφήνουν τα Εδάφια που αποτελούν τα θεμέλια του Βιβλίου, και) ακολουθούν μόνο αυτά (τα Εδάφια) που μπορούν να ερμηνευτούν με παραπάνω από μια σημασία (χωρίς να τα ερμηνεύσουν υπό το φως των άλλων Εδαφίων), αναζητώντας να εγείρουν παρανοήσεις και πλάνη ανάμεσα στους ανθρώπους και αναζητώντας να τα ερμηνεύσουν (πέρα από την αληθινή σημασία τους και σύμφωνα με τις παραπλανημένες απόψεις τους). Και κανείς δεν ξέρει την (αληθινή) ερμηνεία τους, παρά μόνον ο Αλλάχ. Και αυτοί που είναι σταθεροί στη γνώση, λένε: «Πιστεύουμε σ’ αυτό (ολόκληρο το Κορ’άν). Όλο το (Κορ’άν) είναι από τον Κύριό μας.» Και δεν το λαμβάνουν υπόψη, παρά μόνο αυτοί που έχουν μυαλό (για να το συλλογιστούν) .
(ऐ नबी!) वही है जिसने आप पर[2] (यह) पुस्तक उतारी, जिसमें से कुछ आयतें मोह़कम[3] (स्पष्ट तर्क वाली) हैं, वही पुस्तक का मूल हैं, तथा कुछ दूसरी (आयतें) मुतशाबेह[4] (छिपे हुए और पोशीदा अर्थ वाली) हैं। फिर जिनके दिलों में टेढ़ है, तो वे फ़ित्ने की तलाश में तथा उसके असल आशय की तलाश के उद्देश्य से, सदृश अर्थों वाली आयतों का अनुसरण करते हैं। हालाँकि उनका वास्तविक अर्थ अल्लाह के सिवा कोई नहीं जानता। तथा जो लोग ज्ञान में पक्के हैं, वे कहते हैं हम उसपर ईमान लाए, सब हमारे पालनहार की और से है। और शिक्षा वही लोग ग्रहण करते हैं, जो बुद्धि वाले हैं।
È Lui che ha fatto discendere su di te il Libro in chiari versetti, che compongono la Matrice del Libro ﴿أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ﴾, e altri criptici; in verità quelli che hanno nel cuore una malattia, seguono i criptici per portare discordia e per cercare d’interpretarlo, ma nessuno sa come interpretarlo, tranne Allāh e quelli che sono sapienti nella scienza. Dicono: «Crediamo! Tutto viene dal nostro Dio!» Ma non se ne ricordano se non quelli che hanno intelletto.
7. Jis yra Tas, Kuris nuleido tau (Muchammedai ﷺ ) Knygą (šį Koraną). Jame – eilutės, kurios visiškai aiškios. Jos – Knygos pagrindas [ir tai yra Al-Ahkam (įsakymų) eilutės], Al-Faraid (privalomos pareigos) ir Al-Hudud (teisinės normos dėl bausmių už vagystes, svetimavimą)]. O kitos ne visiškai aiškios. Taigi tie, kurių širdyse yra nukrypimas (nuo tiesos), seka tomis, kurios nėra visiškai aiškios, siekdami Al-Fitna (daugiadievystės ir išbandymų) ir siekdami jų paslėptų prasmių, nors niekas nežino jų paslėptų prasmių, išskyrus Allahą. O tie, kurie yra tvirtai apmokyti žinių, sako: „Mes tikime tuo, visa tai (aiškios ir neaiškios eilutės) – iš mūsų Viešpaties.“ Ir niekas nesupranta perspėjimų, tik suvokiantys žmonės.

Он — Тот, Кто ниспослал тебе Писание, в котором есть ясные аяты — они составляют основу Писания, — и другие, многозначные. Что же касается тех, в чьих сердцах уклонение, то они следуют за тем, что в нём многозначно, из стремления к смуте и стремления к его толкованию. Но его толкование не знает никто, кроме Аллаха. А те, кто прочно утвердились в знании, говорят: «Мы уверовали в него: всё это — от нашего Господа», и назиданию внимают не иначе как обладатели разума.
Он је Онај Који ти објављује Књигу у којој су речи јасне; оне су матица Књиге; и друге које нису сасвим јасне. Они у чијим је срцима изопаченост следе оне које нису сасвим јасне у тежњи за смутњом и својевољним тумачењем. А тумачење њихово зна само Аллах. А они који су у знање дубоко проникли, кажу: „Ми у то верујемо; све је то од нашег Господара.“ А поуку примају само они разумом обдарени.
Yeye ndiye aliyeteremsha juu yako Kitabu hiki. Ndani yake zimo Aya muhkam (zenye maana wazi). Hizo ndizo msingi wa Kitabu hiki. Na zimo nyingine Mutashabihat (zenye maana zisizo wazi). Ama wale ambao katika nyoyo zao umo upotovu, wao wanafuata zile zenye maana zisizo wazi kwa kutafuta fitina, na kutafuta kupotoa maana yake. Na wala hapana ajuaye maana yake isipokuwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Na wale waliokita katika elimu husema: Sisi tumeziamini, zote zimetoka kwa Mola wetu Mlezi. Lakini hawakumbuki (hayo) isipokuwa wenye akili ya hali ya juu.
Det är han som har uppenbarat skriften för dig. I den finns dels tydliga verser, som utgör skriftens kärna, dels flertydiga verser. De med villfarelse i hjärtat följer de flertydiga verserna för att sprida tvivel och för att söka en godtycklig tolkning. Ingen känner dock till dess djupaste innebörd förutom Gud. Och de som är djupt förankrade i kunskap säger: ”Vi tror på den. Allt är från vår Herre.” Men endast de med förstånd låter sig påminnas.
Sana kitabı indiren O’dur. Onun bir kısmı, muhkem ki bunlar kitabın özüdür. Bir kısmı da müteşabih ayetlerdir. Kalplerinde eğrilik olanlar, fitne çıkarmak ve (kendilerine göre) onun tevilini yapmak için onun müteşabih olanlarına uyarlar. Oysa, onun tevilini Allah’tan başkası bilmez. İlimde derinleşenler ise “Biz, ona iman ettik, onun hepsi Rabbimizin katındandır.” derler. Temiz akıl sahiplerinden başkası düşünmez.
وہی اللہ تعالیٰ ہے جس نے تجھ پر کتاب اتاری جس میں واضح مضبوط آیتیں ہیں جو اصل کتاب ہیں اوربعض متشابہ آیتیں ہیں[1] ۔ پس جن کے دلوں میں کجی ہے وه تواس کی متشابہ آیتوں کے پیچھے لگ جاتے ہیں، فتنے کی طلب اور ان کی مراد کی جستجو کے لئے، حاﻻنکہ ان کے حقیقی مراد کو سوائے اللہ تعالیٰ کے کوئی نہیں جانتا[2] اور پختہ ومضبوط علم والے یہی کہتے ہیں کہ ہم تو ان پر ایمان ﻻچکے، یہ ہمارے رب کی طرف سے ہیں اور نصیحت تو صرف عقلمند حاصل کرتے ہیں۔

O Lord! pervert not our hearts again when Thou hast guided them, and grant us mercy from Thee, for Thou art He who grants

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 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 7:54, 20:5, 42:11, 3:7, 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 verse set was chosen by the Editor before the study was written, and is NOT a search result. No word search was run, because on this question a word search would have found the wrong verses or missed the point of the passage.
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.
