In plain wordsEditorial
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
Fifty-three verses describing revelation as it arrives — behind a veil, or by a messenger, or as inspiration — and religion as one thing established for Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus alike. It takes its name from a single phrase in a list of what believers are: those whose affair is consultation among themselves. It opens with disconnected letters.
Every verse as a number; tap one to open it. Shaded numbers mark verses where the translations differ most.

Have the idolaters deities which ordain them a religion which God hath not allowed? But had it not been for the decree of respiting their punishment to the day of separating the infidels from the true believers, judgment had been already given between them: For the unjust shall surely suffer a painful torment
