Quran Maqasid

Surah An-Nahl, verse 101

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿١٠١﴾

Tap a word for its meaning and pronunciation, then open its page.

Without diacritics

واذا بدلنا اية مكان اية والله اعلم بما ينزل قالوا انما انت مفتر بل اكثرهم لا يعلمون

When We substitute one revelation For another,—and God knows best What He reveals (in stages),— They say, "Thou art but a forger": But most of them understand not.

A translation is its translator's understanding of the Quran, not the Quran itself. Our method
