Translation

English

With nothing ticked, the translation follows the site language and shows every approved translator.

Recitation

Murattal is measured and even; mujawwad is slower and more elaborate. Neither is a better recording of the other — they are different recitations.

Transliteration

Transliteration is a reading aid, not a pronunciation guide. No writing system outside Arabic can represent Quranic pronunciation exactly, and reciting from it will not be accurate. Learn from a qualified teacher and from recitation.

    Translation footnote [3]

    [3] This passage refers to the land of the three great prophets of Allah: Jesus (ﷺ) lived in the land of figs and olives, Moses (ﷺ) communicated with Allah on Mount Sinai, and Muhammad's (ﷺ) birthplace was Makkah. There is a similar reference in Deuteronomy 33:1, [Moses said:] “The Lord came from Sinai. Rising from Seir upon us, and he shone forth from Mount Paran.” Seir is a mountain near Jerusalem, and Paran is a mountain near Makkah.
