34:1

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَهُ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡخَبِيرُ ١

All praise be to Allah to Whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth,¹ and all praise be to Him in the World to Come.² He is Most Wise, All-Aware.³

Footnotes

[1] Qira’at: Nafieʻ, Ibn Kathir, Ibn ʻAmer and Abu Jaʻfar read it as: “. . . better than them both as . . .”
[2] Qira’at: Hamza, Al-Kesa’i and Khalaf read it as: “winds ”
[3] The Arabic word hamd is used both for praise and for gratitude and both the meanings are implied here. When Allah alone is the Owner of the whole universe and of everything in it, then inevitably He alone deserves to be praised for every beauty, perfection, wisdom, power and excellent skill and design shown and manifested by it. Therefore, every inhabitant of the world must thank Allah alone for any benefit and pleasure that he draws from anything here. For when no one else is a partner in the ownership of these things, no one else deserves to be praised or thanked.
[4] That is, “Just as every blessing in this world is granted by Allah alone, so also in the Hereafter whatever a person will get, he will get from His treasures and by His grace. Therefore, in the Hereafter too, Allah alone deserves to be praised as well as thanked.”
[5] That is, “All His works are based on perfect wisdom and knowledge. Whatever He does, He does right. He has full knowledge about every creation of His as to where it is, in what state it is, what are its requirements, what precisely needs to be done for its well-being, what it has done so far and what it will do in the future. He is not unaware of the world created by Him, but is fully aware of the condition and state of every particle in it.”
[6] Qira’at: Hamza, Al-Kesa’i and Khalaf read it as: “In that situation, authority belongs to Allah . . .”

Translations are available in both JSON and SQLite database formats. Some translation has footnotes as well, footnotes are embedded in the translation text using sup HTML tag. To support a wide range of applications, including websites, mobile apps, and desktop tools, we provide multiple export formats for translations.

Available export formats:

1. Nested Array Structure

Translations are grouped by Surah. Each Surah is an array containing translations for each Ayah in order. This format export translations as simple text, no formatting, no footnotes.

[
  ["translation of 1:1", "translation of 1:2"], ...
  ["translation of 2:1", "translation of 2:2"]
]

2. Key-Value Structure

Each translation is stored with the Ayah reference (e.g. 1:1) as the key and the translated text as the value. This format also exports translations as simple text, no formatting, no footnotes etc.

{
  "1:1": "translation of 1:1",
  "1:2": "translation of 1:2",
  ...
  "114:6": "translation of 114:6"
}

Translations with Footnotes

Translations with footnotes are available in three more formats:

1. Footnotes as Tags Format

Footnotes are embedded using a <sup> tag with a foot_note attribute. Footnote contents are stored separately under f key.

{
  "88:17": {
    "t": "Do the disbelievers not see how rain clouds are formed <sup foot_note=\"77646\">1</sup>",
    "f": {
      "77646": "The word ibl can mean 'camel' as well as 'rain cloud'..."
    }
  }
}

2. Inline Footnote Format

Footnotes are inserted directly using double square brackets e.g([[this is footnote]])

{
  "88:17": "Do the disbelievers not see how rain clouds are formed [[The word ibl can mean 'camel' as well as 'rain cloud'...]]"
}

3. Text Chunks Format

In chunks export format, text is divided into chunks. Each chunk could be a simple text or an object. Object can be either footnote or a formatting tag. This format is useful for applications can't directly render the HTML tags. Here is an example of Bridges` translation for Surah An-Nas , Ayah 6:

Above translation will be exported in chunks as:

<i class="s">(from the whisperers)</i>among the race of unseen beings<sup foot_note="81506">1</sup>and mankind.”


      [
      {"type":"i","text":"(from the whisperers)"}, // first chunk, should be formatted as italic
      "among the race of unseen beings", //second chunk in simple text
      {"type":"f","f":"81506","text":"1"}, // third chunk is a footnote,
      "and mankind.”"
      ]
