Community translation

What does the Qur'an actually say?

One root at a time. Every meaning tested against every occurrence. Every claim judged by the Qur'an itself.

Or browse the Qur'an reference first.

How translation works

Four steps. Same loop, every root.

  1. 01

    Open the next root

    No picking. We go in mushaf order, one root at a time.

  2. 02

    Walk every occurrence

    Answer a handful of structured questions on every verse the root appears in.

  3. 03

    Propose a meaning

    State the core idea, then a short English rendering for each form.

  4. 04

    Tough questions & submit

    An AI reviewer raises tough questions about the proposal — but never proposes a meaning of its own. The community votes; a moderator finalises.

What this is not

We are clear about what we are not.

Naming the boundaries protects the work. If any of these is what you want, this isn't your place — and that's fine.

  • a tafsir engine
  • a hadith database
  • a fatwa machine
  • scholar opinions
  • a replacement for the Arabic
  • a place for debate

The Qur'an is for everyone. Translating it should be too.
