Exalted is God, the True King. Do not be hasty with the Quran before its inspiration to you is concluded, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."
What does the Qur'an say about seeking knowledge?
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 20:114 Hasten not with the Qur'an ere its revelation hath been perfected unto thee, and say: MY LORD, INCREASE ME IN KNOWLEDGE. In because it is the only prayer for knowledge in the Qur'an, it is put in the Prophet's own mouth, and it arrives attached to an instruction to slow down.
- 02 16:43 And We sent not before thee other than men whom We inspired - ASK THE FOLLOWERS OF THE REMEMBRANCE IF YE KNOW NOT. In because it instructs the reader to ask people who know, and the people named are outside the immediate community.
- 03 21:7 And We sent not before thee other than men whom We inspired - ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not. In because it repeats 16:43 word for word in another surah, which makes it a settled instruction rather than a local remark.
- 04 58:11 God will exalt those who believe among you, AND THOSE WHO HAVE KNOWLEDGE, to high ranks. In because it is the only verse assigning rank on the basis of knowledge. ALSO CARRIED by the study Are those who know and those who don't equal in the Qur'an?, with a different reason there.
- 05 12:76 We exalt in degree whom We will, AND OVER EVERY LORD OF KNOWLEDGE THERE IS ONE MORE KNOWING. This verse says God exalts in degree whom He will, and that over every lord of knowledge there is one more knowing.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
Five verses, and the first of them is the whole of the Qur'an's positive instruction on this.
20:114 contains the only prayer in the book asking for knowledge: MY LORD, INCREASE ME IN KNOWLEDGE. What surrounds it is worth as much as the prayer. The Prophet is told NOT TO HURRY with the Qur'an before its revelation is complete - and then to say this. The instruction to slow down and the request for more come in one sentence.
16:43 and 21:7 give the same instruction twice, in identical words: ASK THE FOLLOWERS OF THE REMEMBRANCE IF YE KNOW NOT. The remedy for not knowing is to ask someone who does.
58:11 is the only verse that ranks by knowledge, and 12:76 is the one that keeps that ranking honest: OVER EVERY LORD OF KNOWLEDGE THERE IS ONE MORE KNOWING. The study Are those who know and those who don't equal in the Qur'an? dropped that verse and recommended restoring it; it is restored here, in the study whose subject it actually is.
What is NOT in the Qur'an is the very large body of exhortation about seeking knowledge that most readers will have met - the obligation on every Muslim, the journey in search of it, the ink of the scholar. All of that is , and no hadith collection has cleared the rights audit. A reader arriving here expecting it should be told plainly where it lives.
Twelve verses were dropped, almost all of them matched on the word ASK in ordinary requests. That probe over-returned and was tightened.
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 20:114, 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.

I Lartësuar është Allahu, Sunduesi i Vërtetë. Mos nxito të lexosh Kuranin para se të ketë mbaruar kumtimi i tij dhe thuaj: "Zoti im, shtoma diturinë!"
অতএব মহান ও উচ্চ মর্যাদাসম্পন্ন আল্লাহ, তিনি সত্যিকার মালিক। আর (হে নবী!) তোমার প্রতি ওহী সম্পূর্ণ হওয়ার আগে কুরআন (পাঠে) তাড়াহুড়া করো না। আর বলো, ‘হে আমার রব! আমাকে ইলম বৃদ্ধি করে দিন।’
Neka je uzvišen Allah, Vladar Istiniti! I ne žuri s učenjem Kur’ana prije nego što ti se objavljivanje njegovo završi, i reci: “Gospodaru moj, Ti znanje moje proširi!”

უზენაესია ალლაჰი ჭეშმარიტი მეფე! ნუ იჩქარებ ყურანით, ვიდრე არ დასრულდება შენთვის მისი ზეშთაგონება და თქვი: «ღმერთო ჩემო! შემმატე ცოდნა».
So sei Allah erhaben, der König, der Wahre! Und übereile dich nicht mit dem Quran, bevor dir seine Offenbarung vollständig eingegeben worden ist. Und sag: „Mein Herr, mehre mich an Wissen.“
Ύψιστος είναι ο Αλλάχ (και Ανώτερος από κάθε ατέλεια), ο Αλ-Μάλικ (ο Βασιλεύς), ο Αλ-Χακκ (ο Αληθινός Θεός). Μη βιαστείς (ω, Προφήτη) να απαγγείλεις το Κορ’άν (κατά την αποκάλυψη του από τον Γαβριήλ, λόγω της επιθυμίας σου να το απομνημονεύεις γρήγορα), πριν ολοκληρωθεί η αποκάλυψή του σε σένα. Και πες: «Κύριέ μου! Αύξησέ με σε γνώση.»
अतः सर्वोच्च है अल्लाह, जो सच्चा बादशाह है, और क़ुरआन को पढ़ने में जल्दी[39] न करें, इससे पूर्व कि आपकी ओर उसकी वह़्य पूरी की जाए तथा कहें : ऐ मेरे पालनहार! मुझे ज्ञान में बढ़ा दे।
Gloria ad Allāh, il Sovrano, la Verità! E non ti affrettare a recitare il Corano, prima che sia terminata la sua ispirazione, e di’: «Dio mio, aumenta la mia scienza!»
114. Tad Aukštas virš visko yra Allahas, Tikrasis Karalius. Ir neskubėk (Muchammedai ﷺ) su Koranu iki jo apreiškimas yra užbaigtas tau ir sakyk: „Mano Viešpatie, padidink man žinojimą.“

Возвышен Аллах, Истинный Владыка! И не торопись с [чтением] Корана, прежде чем будет завершено внушение тебе его откровения, и скажи: «Господь мой! Приумножь моё знание».
Нека је узвишен Аллах, Владар Истинити! И не жури са читањем Кур'ана пре него што ти се његово објављивање заврши, и реци: „Господару мој, Ти моје знање повећај!“
Basi ametukuka Mwenyezi Mungu, Mfalme wa Haki. Wala usiifanyie haraka hii Qur-ani, kabla haujamalizika ufunuo wake. Na sema: Mola wangu Mlezi! Nizidishie elimu.
Ja, upphöjd är Gud, den sanne Konungen! Och hasta inte med [att recitera] Koranen innan dess uppenbarelse fullbordats för dig, utan säg: ”Herre! Låt min kunskap växa.”
Gerçek Melik/Hükümran olan Allah yücedir. Sana vahyedilmesi tamamlanmadan önce Kur’an’ı okumakta acele etme ve: “Rabbim! İlmimi arttır.” de.

Thus We have revealed it an Arabic Quran, and We have diversified the warnings in it, that perhaps they would become righteous, or it may produce a lesson for them.
Thus we have revealed it as a Lecture in Arabic, and have displayed therein certain threats, that peradventure they may keep from evil or that it may cause them to take heed
Thus have we sent it down an Arabic Qur'an; and we have turned about in it the threat,- haply they may fear, or it may cause them to remember
Thus have We sent down to thee an Arabic Koran, and have set forth menaces therein diversely, that haply they may fear God, or that it may give birth to reflection in them

Und Wir haben vor dir (ja) nur Männer gesandt, denen Wir (Offenbarungen) eingegeben haben. So fragt die Leute der Ermahnung, wenn ihr (etwas) nicht wisst.
Πράγματι, δε στείλαμε πριν από σένα (ω, Μωχάμμαντ) παρά μόνο άνδρες (Αγγελιαφόρους), στους οποίους αποκαλύψαμε. Ρωτήστε λοιπόν (ω, άπιστοι) εκείνους των προηγούμενων Θείων Βιβλίων (της Τοράς και του Ιν-τζήλ -του πρωτότυπου Ευαγγελίου του Ιησού- αν οι Αγγελιαφόροι που τους έστειλε ο Αλλάχ πριν, ήταν άνθρωποι ή Άγγελοι), αν δε γνωρίζετε!

And they said, "A jumble of dreams," and, "He made it up," and, "He is a poet," "let him bring us a sign, like those sent to the ancients."
Nay, say they, (these are but) muddled dreams; nay, he hath but invented it; nay, he is but a poet. Let him bring us a portent even as those of old (who were Allah's messengers) were sent (with portents)

The translators word this verse differently
Conspiracies are from Satan, that he may dishearten those who believe; but he will not harm them in the least, except by leave of God. So let the believers put their trust in God.
Lo! Conspiracy is only of the devil, that he may vex those who believe; but he can harm them not at all unless by Allah's leave. In Allah let believers put their trust
Privy talk is only from the devil, and those who do believe may grieve: it cannot hurt them at all, except by the permission of God: and upon God let the believers rely
Only of Satan is this clandestine talk, that he may bring the faithful to grief: but, unless by God's permission, not aught shall he harm them! in God then let the faithful trust
Verily the clandestine discourse of the infidels proceedeth from Satan, that he may grieve the true believers: But there shall be none to hurt them in the least, unless by the permission of God; wherefore in God let the faithful trust

O you who believe! When you converse privately with the Messenger, offer something in charity before your conversation. That is better for you, and purer. But if you do not find the means-God is Forgiving and Merciful.
O ye who believe! When ye hold conference with the messenger, offer an alms before your conference. That is better and purer for you. But if ye cannot find (the wherewithal) then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful
O ye who believe! when ye address the Apostle, then give in charity before addressing him; that is better for you, and more pure. But if ye find not the means,- then God is forgiving, compassionate
O ye who believe! when ye go to confer in private with the Apostle, give alms before such conference. Better will this be for you, and more pure. But if ye have not the means, then truly God is Lenient, Merciful
O true believers, when ye go to speak with the apostle, give alms previously to your discoursing with him: This will be better for you, and more pure. But if ye find not what to give, verily God will be gracious and merciful unto you

The translators word this verse differently
Are you reluctant to offer charity before your conversation? If you do not do so, and God pardons you, then perform the prayer, and give alms, and obey God and His Messenger. God is Aware of what you do.
Fear ye to offer alms before your conference? Then, when ye do it not and Allah hath forgiven you, establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey Allah and His messenger. And Allah is Aware of what ye do
What! do ye shrink from giving in charity before addressing him? then if ye do it not, and God relents towards you, then be steadfast in prayer, and give alms, and fear God and His Apostle; for God is well aware of what ye do
Do ye hesitate to give alms previously to your private conference? Then if ye do it not (and God will excuse it in you), at least observe prayer, and pay the stated impost, and obey God and His Apostle: for God is cognisant of your actions
Do ye fear to give alms previously to your discoursing with the prophet, lest ye should impoverish yourselves? Therefore if ye do it not, and God is gracious unto you, by dispensing with the said precept for the future, be constant at prayer, and pay the legal alms; and obey God and his apostle in all other matters: For God well knoweth that which ye do

So he began with their bags, before his brother's bag. Then he pulled it out of his brother's bag. Thus We devised a plan for Joseph; he could not have detained his brother under the king's law, unless God so willed. We elevate by degrees whomever We will; and above every person of knowledge, there is one more learned.
Compare translations (4)
Then he (Joseph) began the search with their bags before his brother's bag, then he produced it from his brother's bag. Thus did We contrive for Joseph. He could not have taken his brother according to the king's law unless Allah willed. We raise by grades (of mercy) whom We will, and over every lord of knowledge there is one more knowing
And he began with their sacks before the sacks of his brother; then he drew it forth from his brother's sack. Thus did we devise a stratagem for Joseph. He could not take his brother by the king's religion except God pleased;- we raise the degrees of whomsoever we please, and over every possessor of knowledge is one who knows
And Joseph began with their sacks, before the sack of his brother, and then from the sack of his brother he drew it out. This stratagem did we suggest to Joseph. By the King's law he had no power to seize his brother, had not God pleased. We uplift into grades of wisdom whom we will. And there is one knowing above every one else endued with knowledge
Then he began by their sacks, before he searched the sack of his brother; and he drew out the cup from his brother's sack. Thus did we furnish Joseph with a stratagem. It was not lawful for him to take his brother for a bondman, by the law of the king of Egypt, had not God pleased to allow it, according to the offer of his brethren. We exalt to degrees of knowledge and honour whom we please: And there is one who is knowing above all those who are indued with knowledge

Ai filloi (kontrollimin) nga barrët e tyre para barrës së vëllait të vet (Benjaminit) e më pas e nxori atë nga barra e të vëllait. Kështu i mësuam këtë hile Jusufit, sepse ai nuk do të mund ta merrte vëllanë e vet sipas ligjit të mbretit, përveçse me vullnetin e Allahut. Ne i ngremë në shkallë të lartë ata që duam nga robërit Tanë dhe mbi çdo të ditur ka edhe më të ditur.
তারপর সে তার (আপন) ভাইয়ের পাত্রের পূর্বে তাদের (সৎ ভাইদের) পাত্রগুলো দিয়ে তল্লাশি শুরু করলো। তারপর সেটি তার (আপন) ভাইয়ের পাত্র থেকে বের করলো। এভাবে আমি ইউসুফের জন্য কৌশল করলাম।(২২) আল্লাহর ইচ্ছা ছাড়া বাদশাহর আইনে সে তার ভাইকে রেখে দিতে পারত না। আমি যাকে ইচ্ছা তার মর্যাদা উঁচু করে দেই এবং প্রত্যেক জ্ঞানীর ওপর রয়েছে একজন মহাজ্ঞানী।

(მაცნემ ძმები იუსუფთან მიიყვანა, რათა მისი თანდასწრებით მათი ტომრები გაეჩხრიკათ). და მან დაიწყო მათი ტომრებიდან მისი ძმის ტომრამდე [ბინიამინის ტომრამდე] მისვლამდე. შემდეგ კი ეს [სასმისი] მისი ძმის ტომრიდან ამოიღო. ასე მოვუწყვეთ ჩვენ იუსუფს [ალლაჰი დაეხმარა იუსუფს, რომ თავისი ძმა მასთან დაეტოვებინა]. (იუსუფს) არ შეეძლო თავისი ძმის დატოვება ეგვიპტის მმართველის კანონის მიხედვით, რომ არა ალლაჰის ნება. ჩვენ ხარისხებით ვამაღლებთ იმას, ვისაც ვისურვებთ; და ყოველი მცოდნის ზემოთ არის უფრო მცოდნე.
Da begann er (zunächst) in ihren Behältern (zu suchen) vor dem Behälter seines Bruders. Hierauf holte er es aus dem Behälter seines Bruders hervor. Auf diese Weise führten Wir für Yusuf eine List aus. Nach dem Gesetz des Königs hätte es ihm nicht zugestanden, seinen Bruder (als Sklaven) zu nehmen, außer dass Allah es wollte. Wir erhöhen, wen Wir wollen, um Rangstufen. Und über jedem, der Wissen besitzt, steht einer, der (noch mehr) weiß.
Έτσι, άρχισε (ο Ιωσήφ) να ψάχνει στις αποσκευές τους πριν από τις αποσκευές του αδελφού του (του Μπέντζαμιν), και μετά την έβγαλε από τις αποσκευές του αδελφού του. Έτσι σχεδιάσαμε για τον Ιωσήφ (το να ρωτήσουν τα αδέλφια του ποια είναι η τιμωρία του κλέφτη στη θρησκεία τους), διαφορετικά δε θα μπορούσε να κρατήσει τον αδελφό του σύμφωνα με το νόμο του βασιλιά (που τιμωρεί τον κλέφτη με το χτύπημα και το να πληρώσει τη διπλάσια αξία του κλεμμένου), εκτός αν το ήθελε ο Αλλάχ. Εξυψώνουμε σε υψηλές θέσεις αυτούς που θέλουμε. Και πάνω από κάθε έναν που έχει γνώση, υπάρχει άλλος που έχει περισσότερη γνώση.
चुनाँचे उसने अपने (सगे) भाई के थैले से पहले, उनके थैलों की तलाशी शुरू की। फिर उसे अपने भाई के थैले से निकाला। इस प्रकार, हमने यूसुफ़ के लिए उपाय किया।[25] वह राजा के नियम के अनुसार अपने भाई को नहीं रख सकते थे, परंतु यह कि अल्लाह चाहे। हम जिसके चाहते हैं, पद ऊँचे कर देते हैं और प्रत्येक ज्ञानवान से ऊपर एक बड़ा ज्ञानवान है।[26]
Iniziò a cercare nei carichi prima di quello del fratello; poi la tirò fuori dal carico del fratello. Così disegnammo il piano per Yūsuf: non poteva prendere il fratello con lui nella legge del Re se non per il volere di Allāh. Noi facciamo salire di molti gradi chi vogliamo, e sopra ogni sapiente c’è chi è ancora più sapiente ﴾fino al ritorno al Creatore﴿.
76. Taigi jis [Jusufas (Juozapas)] pradėjo (ieškoti) jų krepšiuose prieš (ieškodamas) savo brolio krepšyje. Tada jis ištraukė tai iš savo brolio krepšio. Taip Mes suplanavome Jusufui (Juozapui). Jis negalėjo paimti savo brolio (vergu) pagal karaliaus įstatymus, išskyrus jei Allahas to norėjo. (Taigi Allahas privertė brolius laikytis savo nurodytos „bausmės, t. y. pavergti vagį“) Mes išaukštiname tą, ką Mes norime, tačiau virš visų, apdovanotų žiniomis, yra Visa Žinantis (Allahas).

Он начал с их мешков прежде мешка своего брата, а затем извлёк её из мешка своего брата. Так Мы устроили замысел для Юсуфа. Он не мог взять своего брата по закону царя, если только этого не пожелал Аллах. Мы возвышаем степенями тех, кого пожелаем, и над каждым обладателем знания есть более знающий.
И он поче са њиховим врећама, пре вреће свога брата, а онда извади пехар из вреће свога брата. Тако смо, ето, у Јосифову корист варку направили. Он, по владаревом закону, није могао да узме као роба свога брата, осим ако то Аллах жели. Ми уздижемо на веће положаје онога кога хоћемо. Све знанији од знанијег има, а Свезнајући је изнад сваког.
Basi akaanza na mizigo yao kabla ya mzigo wa kakaye. Kisha akalitoa katika mzigo wa kakaye. Hivyo ndivyo tulivyompangia njama Yusuf. Hakuwa ni wa kumzuia kakaye kwa sheria ya mfalme huyo isipokuwa Mwenyezi Mungu akitaka. Tunamuinua daraja tumtakaye. Na juu ya kila ajuaye yupo ajuaye zaidi.
Han började genomsöka deras packningar innan han fortsatte med sin [yngre] brors packning ur vilken han drog fram den. På detta sätt underlättade vi för Josef att genomföra sin plan. Enligt kungens lag fick han inte hålla kvar sin bror, men Gud ville något annat. Vi höjer i rang den vi vill, och över varje vetande väsen finns en som vet mer.
Yûsuf kardeşinin yükünden önce onlarınkini aramaya başladı; sonra kardeşinin yükünden su kabını çıkardı. İşte biz Yûsuf'a böyle bir plan kullanmasını vahyettik. Çünkü hükümdarın kanunlarına göre kardeşini alıkoyamazdı. Ancak Allah'ın dilemesi başka. Dilediğimizi derecelerle yükseltiriz. Her ilim sahibinden üstün bir bilen bulunur.
پس یوسف نے ان کے سامان کی تلاشی شروع کی، اپنے بھائی کے سامان کی تلاشی سے پہلے، پھر اس پیمانہ کو اپنے بھائی کے سامان (زنبیل) سے نکالا[1] ۔ ہم نے یوسف کے لئے اسی طرح یہ تدبیر کی[2]۔ اس بادشاه کے قانون کی رو سے یہ اپنے بھائی کو نہ لے سکتا تھا[3] مگر یہ کہ اللہ کو منظور ہو۔ ہم جس کے چاہیں درجے بلند کر دیں[4]، ہر ذی علم پر فوقیت رکھنے واﻻ دوسرا ذی علم موجود ہے.[5]

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it6 of the 7 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 20:114, 16:43, 21:7, 58:11, 12:76, 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 - increase + me + knowledge; my + lord + increase; ask + those + who + know; people + remembrance + ask; exalt + those + knowledge. 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. 12 verse(s) the search qualified are recorded as not carried with a reason each, rather than silently discarded: 2:273 - matched on 'travel'; the subject is charity; 3:135 - matched on 'ask'; 9:6 - protection of an idolater seeking safety; 9:93 - matched on 'ask'; 11:47 - on-topic and striking - Noah withdrawing a request. 11:52 - carried by the study What does the Qur'an say about turning to God after wrong rather than despairing?; 11:63 - Salih's preamble; 14:7 - carried by the study What does the Qur'an say about gratitude?; 33:50 - matched incidentally; 60:10 - a procedural rule; 71:21 - Noah's complaint; 71:28 - Noah's prayer.
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.
Correction record, 2026-09-17. At 12:76, a note about how the verse came to be in this study, naming another study that does not carry it, was removed. The verses shown and their translations are unchanged.
