Say, "This is my way; I invite to God, based on clear knowledge-I and whoever follows me. Glory be to God; and I am not of the polytheists."
Must you be learned in the Qur'an before you preach it?
In short
- The text says: say, this is my way, I invite to God based on clear knowledge, I and whoever follows me, where Itani and Pickthall have knowledge, Palmer and Rodwell clear proof and Sale an evident demonstration (12:108); do not occupy yourself with what you have no knowledge of, where Palmer has pursue and the other three follow (17:36); why do those who believe say what they do not do, which is most hateful to God (61:2-3); and do they urge virtuous conduct on others while forgetting their own, though they read the Scripture (2:44).
- The text does not say: a measure of learning that must be reached before a person may speak of the Qur'an to others.
- The rest comes from: outside the Qur'an. The practice readers ask about, known by the names Tablighi Jamaat, tabligh, going out, chilla and gasht, or a preaching trip, is named here and not described or judged.
Where the renderings split
12:108, Itani: "based on clear knowledge"
12:108, Pickthall: "with sure knowledge"
12:108, Palmer: "on clear proof"
12:108, Rodwell: "resting on a clear proof"
12:108, Sale: "by an evident demonstration"
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 12:108 I call to God with sure knowledge, or clear proof: I and whoever follows me
- 02 17:36 Do not follow, or pursue, what you have no knowledge of
- 03 61:2–3 Why do you say what you do not do? It is most hateful to God
- 04 2:44 Do you enjoin right on others and forget yourselves, though you read the Book?
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The text joins the call to knowledge, and the renderings split on what kind. At 12:108 Itani has "I invite to God, based on clear knowledge-I and whoever follows me", Pickthall "with sure knowledge", Palmer "on clear proof" and Sale "by an evident demonstration".
At 17:36 Pickthall has "follow not that whereof thou hast no knowledge".
The text also weighs speaking against doing: at 61:2 Itani has "Why do you say what you do not do?", and at 2:44 Rodwell has "Will ye enjoin what is right upon others, and forget yourselves?".
No verse sets a degree of learning that must be reached before calling others.
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 rests on
Opens with 12:108, 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.
The versesSource fact 4 passages, each with every cleared translation
4 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 (o Muhamed): "Kjo është rruga ime: unë thërras për tek Allahu me prova të qarta, unë dhe ata që më pasojnë. I patëmeta është Allahu! Unë nuk jam prej idhujtarëve."
(হে রাসূল! তুমি সবাইকে) বলো: ‘এটা আমার পথ। আমি জ্ঞানের ভিত্তিতে মানুষকে আল্লাহর দিকে দা‘ওয়াত দিই এবং যারা আমার অনুসরণ করেছে তারাও। আর আল্লাহ পবিত্র মহান এবং আমি মুশরিকদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত নই।’
Reci: "Ovo je put moj, ja pozivam k Allahu, imajući jasne dokaze, ja, i svaki onaj koji me slijedi, i neka je Uzvišen Allah, ja nisam od onih koji Mu druge pridružuju."
Reci: "Ovo je put moj, ja pozivam k Allahu, imajući jasne dokaze, ja, i svaki onaj koji me slijedi, i neka je Uzvišen Allah, ja nisam od onih koji Mu druge pridružuju."
Maaku: "Ko ngo'ol woni laawol am, miɗo noddira e Alla dow hujja, min e ɓeen jokkuɓe kam. Senayee woodanii Alla! Mi wonaani jeyaaɗo e sirkooɓe ɓen.
თქვი (ო, შუამავალო): «ეს არის ჩემი გზა (რომელსაც მივყვები) ალლაჰისკენ მოწოდებაში, მაქვს ცხადი მტკიცებულება (ალლაჰისგან) – მე და ჩემს მიმდევრებს (ამ გზაზე). და ალლაჰი დიდებულია/უნაკლოა, და მე არ ვარ მრავალღმერთიანთაგანი!»
Sag: „Das ist mein Weg: Ich rufe zu Allah aufgrund eines sichtbaren Hinweises, ich und diejenigen, die mir folgen. Und gepriesen sei Allah, und ich gehöre nicht zu den Götzendienern.“
Πες (ω, Μωχάμμαντ): «Αυτός είναι ο δρόμος (και ο τρόπος) μου. Καλώ στον Αλλάχ με απόδειξη και γνώση, εγώ και όποιοι με ακολουθούν. Δόξα στον Αλλάχ (είναι Ανώτερος από κάθε ατέλεια και από ό,τι Του αποδίδουν από εταίρους στη λατρεία). Και δεν είμαι απ' εκείνους που αποδίδουν εταίρους στον Αλλάχ στη λατρεία.
(ऐ नबी!) आप कह दें : यही मेरा रास्ता है। मैं और मेरा अनुसरण करने वाले पूर्ण अंतर्दृष्टि तथा स्पष्ट प्रमाण के साथ अल्लाह की ओर बुलाते हैं। तथा अल्लाह पवित्र है और मैं मुश्रिकों (बहुदेववादियों) में से नहीं हूँ।
Di’: «Questa è la mia Via! Io invito ad Allāh con consapevolezza, con quelli che mi seguono, e gloria ad Allāh, e non sono tra gli idolatri!”
108. Sakyk (Muchammedai ﷺ ): „Tai yra mano kelias, aš kviečiu pas Allahą (t. y. į Allaho Vienumą – islamiškąjį monoteizmą) tikru žinojimu. Aš ir tie, kurie seka manimi (taip pat turi kviesti kitus pas Allahą, t. y. į Allaho Vienumą – islamiškąjį monoteizmą – tikru žinojimu). Ir lai būna Garbinamas ir Išaukštintas Allahas (virš viso to, ką jie priskiria Jam į partnerius). Ir nesu aš iš Mušrikūn (daugiadievių, pagonių, stabmeldžių ir netikinčiųjų Allaho Vienumą, tų, kurie garbina kitus šalia Allaho arba priskiria Allahui priešininkus arba partnerius).“
jedhi “Kun karaa kiyya gara Rabbiitti waama beekumsa irratti haala ta’een Aniifi namni na hordofes. Rabbiin qulqullaa’e Ani Mushrikoota irraayyii miti” jedhi.
Скажи: «Это — мой путь. Я призываю к Аллаху на основании ясного знания — я и те, кто последовал за мной. Пречист Аллах! И я — не из придающих Ему сотоварищей».
Реци: „Ово је мој пут, ја позивам к Аллаху, имајући јасне доказе, ја, и сваки онај који ме следи, и нека је Узвишен Аллах, ја нисам од оних који друге поред Њега обожавају.“
Sema: Hii ndiyo njia yangu - ninalingania kwa Mwenyezi Mungu kwa ufahamu mzuri - mimi na wale wanaonifuata. Na ametakasika Mwenyezi Mungu, na wala mimi si katika washirikina.
Säg: ”Detta är min väg; jag kallar till Gud med fullständig klarhet, jag och de som följer mig. Upphöjd är Gud, och jag hör inte till avgudadyrkarna.”
De ki: Bu, benim yolumdur, ben ve bana uyanlar basiretle Allah’a davet ederiz. Allah’ı tenzih ederim. Ben müşriklerden değilim.

We did not send before you except men, whom We inspired, from the people of the towns. Have they not roamed the earth and seen the consequences for those before them? The Home of the Hereafter is better for those who are righteous. Do you not understand?
We sent not before thee (any messengers) save men whom We inspired from among the folk of the townships - Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? And verily the abode of the Hereafter, for those who ward off (evil), is best. Have ye then no sense
Nor did we ever send before thee any save men whom we inspired, of the people of the cities. Have they not journeyed on in the earth, and beheld how was the end of those before them? But the abode of the future is surely better for those who believe;- what! have they then no sense
Never before thee have we sent any but men, chosen out of the people of the cities, to whom we made revelations. Will they not journey through the land, and see what hath been the end of those who were before them? But the mansions of the next life shall be better for those who fear God.

We sent not any apostles before thee, except men, unto whom We revealed our will, and whom We chose out of those who dwelt in cities.

And walk not in the earth exultant. Lo! thou canst not rend the earth, nor canst thou stretch to the height of the hills

And walk not proudly on the earth, for thou canst not cleave the earth, neither shalt thou reach to the mountains in height
Walk not proudly in the land, for thou canst not cleave the earth, neither shalt thou equal the mountains in stature
