About Souls Talk

Souls Talk helps people who do not read Arabic read the Quran and understand its words, with the source of everything shown beside it.

• The Quranic Arabic is never edited, reshaped or generated — it is a published edition, stored whole and checked before it is shown
• Every translation, transliteration and recitation names who produced it
• Where something is uncertain, the site says so instead of filling the gap

The whole Quran — 114 Surahs, 6,236 ayat — in two reading orders: the familiar Mushaf order, and the traditional order of revelation.

A translation under every ayah, in English and Bengali, from the Rowwad Translation Center, with the translator's own footnotes shown as the translator wrote them.

Transliteration in Latin or Bengali letters, if you want it. It is switched off until you ask for it, and it is a reading aid — no writing system outside Arabic can carry Quranic pronunciation exactly, and this one does not pretend to.

The recitation of Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary, in both murattal and mujawwad, played by the ayah, by a passage, or by the whole Surah — and you can mark a few seconds of an ayah and have it repeat until you have it.

Duas from the Quran, the situations the Quran speaks to, and the prophets it names — each one tied to the ayat it comes from, so you can read the passage around it rather than a line on its own.

The Arabic is the Tanzil Uthmani text, version 1.1, stored as one locked file. The site records a checksum of that file and of every translation slice, and checks it before the page is drawn: if a single character changed, the page refuses to render rather than showing you something that no longer matches what was approved.

Every Surah page carries a Sources & verification panel naming the exact edition, translator and version behind the words you are reading at that moment, with the licence links. It is on every page for a reason — a claim you cannot check is only a claim.

The transliteration is generated from that verified Arabic by a fixed set of rules, never copied from another book and never written by a machine that was asked to guess. How it works, and what it cannot do, has its own page.

It does not interpret. There is no commentary, no tafsir and no lesson drawn here that is not carried by the sources named on the page.

No part of what you read is written by AI — not the Arabic, not the translations, not the transliteration, not a word of the explanations.

It does not claim scholarly endorsement. Nobody here tells you a scholar approved this page, because that would not be true. What it offers instead is the source, in full, so that you or someone you trust can check it.

It is not a substitute for learning Arabic, and not a substitute for a teacher.

Tell us. Every entry shows the source it came from, so a mistake can be checked against that source and corrected — and a correction is checked before anything changes, never copied straight in.
