In plain wordsEditorial
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
Forty-nine verses opening on the Mount, an inscribed book on unrolled parchment, the frequented house, the raised roof and the swollen sea — and then a series of questions with no answer offered, asking whether they were created from nothing, or created themselves, or own the treasuries of their Lord.
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.
