The best online resources about the Qur’an

[نسيم الفجر]

 

Allah swt says in surah Baqarah, verse 185:

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ

The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion

Let's use this blessed month to read, understand, memorize, reflect and ponder upon the verses of Allah swt. Alhamdulillah, it is now easier than ever to do it with the help of Internet.

Here is a selection of the best resources available about the Qur'an in different topics:

Read:

QuranFlash.com: very neat interface. You can turn the page one by one like a real mushaf. You can choose the Madani Mushaf, the Indo-Pak style mushaf, the Mushaf with colored tajweed rules, transliteration, etc.

Memorize:

Reciter.org: probably the best website if you want to memorize the Qur'an. You can select a reciter and configure the number of the times the verse has to be recited, the length of the pause, etc. The interface looks like the Madani mushaf, which is much better for the
memorization than the regular Arabic fonts

QuranExplorer.com: Almost the same features as reciter.org with different reciters (but with the Arabic font). It has the translation next to the Arabic ****.

Translation:

Quran.com: Propose 6 different English translations (including the best one, Sahih International) as well as 19
foreign language

Tanzil.info: the translation appears when you move your mouse over an ayat.

Tafseer

Tafsir.com: Tafseer
Ibn Kathir

AlTafsir.com: contains the most known Tafseer books. Be aware that this site contains Tafseer from the Shi'a, and other groups. (Note from Sh. Jamaal Zarabozo's class: the English translation of Tafseer ibn Abbass was done by a Shi'a group and you find very strange and weird interpretations. This group also did the translation of Jalalayn.)

IslamicStudies.info: Tafseer Maulana Maududi (Towards Understanding the Quran)

Audio

QuranicAudio.com: high quality recitation
IslamWay.com: contains probably the largest number of reciters (over 200)

Video

QuranOnline.net: verse by verse video

Search

SearchQuran.net: search by sura (eg. 1, 2:25-35), or an english, arabic, or phonetic term (eg. 'bismillahi alrahman').

search in different language
