Index of the Holy Quran |
This index is a substantially expanded version of the index in the work The Holy Quran, Arabic Text with English Translation and Commentary by Maulana Muhammad Ali as found in its editions published since 1951. It will be incorporated in a future edition of that work which will be entirely retypeset in an improved design. The publishers are making this index available independently of that future edition because:
20:85a | refers to chapter 20, verse 85, first footnote in that verse. |
2:51b | refers to chapter 2, verse 51, second footnote in that verse. |
20:29-34, 29a, 48a | refers to chapter 20, verses 29 to 34, and also to verse 29, first footnote, and verse 48, first footnote. |
2:260, 260a | refers to chapter 2, verse 260, and also the first footnote to verse 260. |
7:150, 151a | refers to chapter 7, verse 150, and also the first footnote to verse 151. |
In chapter 3, verse 3 of the existing edition is now treated as being two verses, 3 and 4. Therefore, verses 4 to 199 of chapter 3 in the existing edition are numbered as verses 5 to 200 in this Index. So when you see a reference in this Index to a verse of chapter 3, from verse 5 to verse 200, subtract 1 from it to get the verse in the existing edition.
In chapter 6, verses 73 and 74 of the existing edition are now treated as a single verse, 73. Therefore, verses 75 to 166 of chapter 6 in the existing edition are numbered as 74 to 165. So when you see a reference in this Index to a verse of chapter 6, from verse 74 to verse 165, add 1 to it to get the verse in the existing edition.
