1. Look up the translation (and optionally Arabic text) by chapter and verse numbers:

2. Searching for words within the translation:

Type some text in the box below and press Search to view just the verses where that text occurs.

Notes and rules for searching:

1. A text string may contain spaces (e.g. People of the Book).
2. Multiple strings may be specified by using ampersand (&). The strings Jews&Christians will locate verses containing both these words.
3. If you search for a single text string, it must be at least four characters long. However, if you search for multiple strings then only one of them needs to be at least four characters long.
4. This search also reports the occurrence of strings within words. So searching for believe will also find believed, disbelieve etc. (This has both drawbacks and advantages.)
5. The Bismillah verse, “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful”, is not included in the search.
6. The only non-keyboard characters in the translation are these three:

   ’  ‘ and —

   The first one (’) is used as apostrophe (as in Pharaoh’s), and it is used three times in transliteration (see list below).
   The second one (‘) is used in transliteration (see list below).
   The third one is only a punctuation mark (the dash).

   To enter any of these non-keyboard characters into the search box, you can highlight, copy and paste it from these instructions.

   Given below is a list of all the words (some of which occur several times in the translation) containing these characters as marks of transliteration:
   sa’ibah
   Saba’
   Ra‘i-na
   ‘Arafat
   Ka‘bah
   ‘Ad
   Shu‘aib
   Ba‘l
   Tubba‘
   ‘Uzza
   Suwa‘
   Ya‘uq
