An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
One hundred and eighteen verses that open by naming what makes believers successful and close on the moment a man asks to be sent back and is refused. Between them: the stages by which a human being is made from clay, and Noah, Moses and Aaron sent to peoples who each say the same thing to their messenger.
Every verse as a number; tap one to open it. Shaded numbers mark verses where the translations differ most.
worded differently
The verses of this surah whose wording differs most, most differently worded first. Under each, the two renderings that share the fewest words are quoted in full under their translators' names; every rendering is on the verse's own page. This measures wording, not meaning.
Arrogant towards it-talked nonsense about it-disregarded it.
In scorn thereof. Nightly did ye rave together
Verily, in that is a sign, and, verily, we were trying them
Lo! herein verily are portents, for lo! We are ever putting (mankind) to the test
So the (Awful) Cry overtook them rightfully, and We made them like as wreckage (that a torrent hurleth). A far removal for wrongdoing folk
Wherefore a severe punishment was justly inflicted on them, and We rendered them like the refuse which is carried down by a stream. Away therefore with the ungodly people
Until, when We seize the decadent among them with torment, they begin to groan.
when We chastise such of them as enjoy an affluence of fortune, by a severe punishment, behold, they cry aloud for help
Those who avoid nonsense.
and who from vain talk turn aside
Meccan Medinan
Counted from the text and the spine at build time, not written into the page. Opening letters are derived from the edition's orthography: an opening token of at most five letters carrying none of its vocalisation marks. The revelation position is reproduced from Revelation order as encoded by the Tanzil metadata, which does not name whose ordering it is.
These figures count the words the translations share. They measure wording, not meaning, and they do not say which translation is right.
The page says a verse is worded differently only above the cut below. The cut is a stated convention, not a property of the text, and it can be changed.
