noble, writing down
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
Nineteen verses on the sky cleft, the stars scattered, the graves overturned, and a soul knowing what it sent ahead and what it left behind. It asks what has deceived you concerning your generous Lord, and names the two recorders who know what you do.
Every verse as a number; tap one to open it. Shaded numbers mark verses where the translations differ most.
worded differently
The verses of this surah whose wording differs most, most differently worded first. Under each, the two renderings that share the fewest words are quoted in full under their translators' names; every rendering is on the verse's own page. This measures wording, not meaning.
Honest recorders.
noble, writing down
The virtuous will be in bliss.
Surely amid delights shall the righteous dwell
They know everything you do.
Cognisant of your actions
The soul shall know what it has sent on or kept back
Each soul shall recognise its earliest and its latest actions
In whatever shape He willed, He assembled you.
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee
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.
These figures count the words the translations share. They measure wording, not meaning, and they do not say which translation is right.
The page says a verse is worded differently only above the cut below. The cut is a stated convention, not a property of the text, and it can be changed.
