"And (remember) she who guarded her chastity [Virgin Maryam (Mary)], We breathed into (the sleeves of) her (shirt or garment) [through Our Rûh (Jibrîl - Gabriel)]*, and We made her and her son (Jesus) a sign for Al-‘Âlamîn (mankind and jinn)." [The Qur’ân, (V.21:91)]
* It is said that Jibrîl (Gabriel) had merely breathed in the sleeve of Maryam’s (Mary) shirt, and thus she conceived.
The Statement of Allâh عز وجل:
‘And Allâh has set forth an example for those who believe: the wife of Pharaoh ... (up to) ... and she was of the obedient to Allâh.’ (V.66:11 and 12).
Narrated Abû Mûsâ رضي الله عنه: Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Many amongst men reached (the level of) perfection but none amongst the women reached this level except Âsiyah, Pharaoh’s wife, and Maryam (Mary), the daughter of ‘Imrân. And no doubt, the superiority of ‘Âishah to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. a meat and bread dish) to other meals." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadith No.623).
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.
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"]
]
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 are available in three more formats:
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'..."
}
}
}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'...]]"
}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.”"
