In plain wordsEditorial
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
One hundred and nine verses on revelation, resurrection, and the charge that this was invented — answered by a challenge to produce a chapter like it. Noah and Moses appear briefly; it takes its name from Jonah, whose people are singled out near its end as the one community whose belief arrived in time to spare them. It opens with disconnected letters.
Every verse as a number; tap one to open it. Shaded numbers mark verses where the translations differ most.
