In plain wordsEditorial
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
Seventy-seven verses quoting the objections put to the Prophet — that he eats food and walks in markets, that an angel was not sent with him, that this was not revealed all at once — and answering each. Near its end comes a description of the servants of the Merciful: how they walk, how they answer the ignorant, how they spend.
Every verse as a number; tap one to open it. Shaded numbers mark verses where the translations differ most.

Counted from the text and the spine at build time, not written into the page.

The revelation position is reproduced from Revelation order as encoded by the Tanzil metadata, which does not name whose ordering it is.
