In plain wordsEditorial

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

Thirty-one verses on man, when he was not a thing worth mentioning, and then made hearing and seeing and shown the way. Its centre is a meal: people who give food they want themselves to a poor person, an orphan and a captive, saying they seek no thanks and no reward for it.

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.
