In plain wordsEditorial

An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.

Fifty-four verses: a book whose verses are set out in detail, offered to people who say their hearts are covered and there is a barrier between. It answers with the making of the heavens and the earth, and with a scene in which a man's own hearing, sight and skin testify against him and he asks the skin why. It opens with disconnected letters.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

The whole surah, verse after verse, in the language you have chosen.
