Maktab study guide · Original educational introduction · English
Quran: three languages in each passage
Every surah reader presents the Arabic Quran with Urdu translation by Fateh Muhammad Jalandhry and English translation by Marmaduke Pickthall. Translations are interpretations of meaning and are kept distinct from the Arabic text. Open the Quran index to select a surah or the Juz index to choose a reading division.
Biblical writings: named editions
The Torah/Pentateuch, Psalms and New Testament readers contain Arabic Van Dyck, English World English Bible and the licensed Urdu Open Urdu Contemporary Version. These are extant biblical writings for comparative reading. They are not described as a recovered verbatim copy of the original Tawrat, Zabur or Injil in Islamic belief. The source page explains edition credits and numbering.
Prophet summaries
The bilingual prophet guide provides short Urdu and Arabic summaries for the 25 prophets named in the Quran, with reference links. These are educational summaries, not additional scripture or complete translated biographies. The English prophet collection provides a separate introduction for each figure.
Hadith directory in three languages
Choose the directory language below. Fifteen detailed book guides are available in English. All fifteen guides to Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawud, Jamiʿ al-Tirmidhi, Sunan al-Nasaʾi, Sunan Ibn Majah, Al-Kafi, Man la Yahduruhu al-Faqih, Tahdhib al-Ahkam, Al-Istibsar, Musnad al-Rabi, Daʿaʾim al-Islam, Muwatta Malik, Musnad Zayd and Al-Qushayri’s Epistle are also available in Urdu and Arabic. Each guide links to named source providers. This does not mean every book or the whole website has been translated.
What is not fully translated yet
The entire article library is not yet available in three complete language editions. Some pages remain English introductions, and a complete licensed Urdu Nahj al-Balagha reader is still pending. A language label should not imply that every linked article has already been translated. Original-language quotations should be checked against their source rather than treated as automatically verified by translation software.
