In plain wordsEditorial
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
Eighty-three verses turning on things offered as evidence — a city that denied the messengers sent to it, the dead earth revived, the night stripped from the day, the sun running its course — and closing on bones long rotted and the question of who revives them. Its name is the disconnected letters it opens with.
Every verse as a number; tap one to open it. Shaded numbers mark verses where the translations differ most.

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.
