In plain wordsEditorial
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
Seventy-three verses on the siege of Medina and the confederates who withdrew, and then on the household: the marriage that ended adoption as a way of making kinship, the instruction to call adopted sons by their fathers' names, and the terms on which the Prophet's wives were to be addressed.
Every verse as a number; tap one to open it. Shaded numbers mark verses where the translations differ most.
