    Salam,

    I was thinking the words in bold should switch side, so it becomes;

    "...if you truly are believers."

    I might be wrong though.

    2278 O you who believe, be aware of God and give up what is left from usury, if you are truly believers.

    Salam

      Salam,

      missing comma in bold?

        What you think about leaving "the names of things" in their original form, but written in nominative with transcription?

        Allah's bless and selam.

          Salam,

          Verse below is missing a "the" before earth.

          2284 To God is what is in the heavens and in earth, and whether you declare what is in your souls or hide it, God will call you to account for it. He will forgive whom He wishes, and punish whom He wishes, and God is capable of all things.

            Salam,

            The word in bold needs capital start.

            2285 The messenger believes in what was sent down to him from his Lord; and the believers, all who believe in God, and His angels, and His Books, and His messengers ?We do not make a distinction between any of His messengers;? and they said ?We hear and obey, forgive us our Lord, and to you is our destiny.?

              Salam,

              1.Criterion, is it to be written with capital c or small c?

              In verse 253 its written with small c, while in 34 with capital c. I made a search throughout Quran (Ctrl+F), there's a mix of capital and small letter for criterion.

              1. Belong should be changed to belongs.

              2115 And to God belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn, there is the face of God. God is Encompassing, Knowledgeable.

              1. In verse 2149 and 2150 it is written yourself and yourselves. I'm not sure myself which is correct, but I think it's yourselves. But would be good to look into it;

              2149 And from wherever you go out, you shall set yourself towards the
              restricted temple; it is the truth from your Lord; and God is not
              unaware of what you do.

              2150 And wherever you go out, you shall set yourself towards the
              restricted temple. And wherever you may be you shall set
              yourselves towards it; that the people will have no room for
              debate with you, except those of them who are wicked. You shall
              not be concerned by them, but be concerned by Me; so that I may
              complete My blessings upon you and that you may be guided.

              4.Make capital h small;

              2159 Surely those who conceal what We have sent down to them of
              the clarities and the guidance, after We Had made it clear for the
              people in the Book; these will be cursed by God and be cursed by
              those who curse.

              5.Not sure if this is incorrect. "Who" change with "so"?

              2187
              It has been made permissible for you during the night of fasting
              to approach your women sexually. They are a garment for you and
              you are a garment for them. God knows that you used to betray
              your souls so He has accepted your repentance, and forgiven you;
              now you may approach them and seek what God has written for
              you. And you may eat and drink until the white thread is distinct
              from the black thread of dawn; then you shall complete the fast
              until night; and do not approach them while you are devoted in
              the temples. These are the boundaries of God, so do not transgress
              them. It is thus that God clarifies His revelations to the people
              who they may be righteous.

              6.Missing "the" between bold

              2196
              And conclude the Pilgrimage and the visit for God. But, if you
              are prevented, then provide what offering is affordable; and do
              not shave your heads until the offering reaches its destination.
              Whoever of you is ill or has an ailment to his head, then he may
              redeem by fasting or giving a charity or a rite. But if you are secure,
              then whoever makes the visit, but decides to continue until the
              Pilgrimage, then he shall provide what offering is affordable; but
              for he who cannot find anything, then he must fast for three days
              during the Pilgrimage and seven when he returns; this will make
              a complete ten?this is for those whose family are not residents
              to restricted temple. And be aware of God, and know that God is
              severe in retribution.

              1. In bold, does it mean receiving, like getting, or is it about already having in the verse. He has or he have;

              2266 Does anyone of you desire that he have an estate with palm trees
              and grapevines, and rivers flowing beneath it, and in it for him
              are all kinds of fruits, then he is afflicted with old age and his
              progeny is weak, and a firestorm strikes it and it all burns? It is
              thus that God makes clear for you the signs that you may reflect.

              8.A typo, also maybe a missing "You" between "and" and "bring". both in bold;

              327 ?You blend the night into the day, and blend the day into the
              night; and you bring the living out of the dead, and bring the
              dead out of the living; and You provide for whom You wish
              without reckoning.?

              1. In bold, just needs a hit on the space button after comma.

              355 For God said ?O Jesus, I will terminate your life, and raise you
              to Me, and purify you of those who have rejected, and make those
              who have followed you above those who have rejected until the
              Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, all of you,so I
              will judge between you in what it was that you disputed.?

                Salam,

                1. in 364, takes to take

                364
                Say ?O people of the Book, let us come to a mutual understanding between us and between you; that we serve none except God,
                and that we do not set up anything with Him, and that none of us
                takes each other as patrons besides God.? If they turn away, then
                say ?Bear witness that we have submitted.?

                2.Maybe a missing comma between bold

                391 Those who have rejected and died while they were rejecters,
                if the earth full of gold were to be ransomed with it would not
                be accepted from any of them. For these there will be a painful
                retribution and they will have no supporters.

                3.Capital supporter?

                3122 When two parties from among you were obsessed that they would
                fail; while God was their supporter. In God the believers should
                trust.

                4.Needs comma between bold

                3145 It is not permitted for a person to die except by the permission
                of God in an appointed record. And whoever wants the reward of
                this world We give him of it, and whoever wants the reward of the
                Hereafter, We give him of it. And We will reward the thankful.

                5.Capital victor?

                3150 It is God who is your Patron, and He is the best victor.

                  Salam,

                  2150 And wherever you go out, you shall set yourself towards the
                  restricted temple. And wherever you may be you shall set
                  yourselves towards it; that the people will have no room for
                  debate with you, except those of them who are wicked. You shall
                  not be concerned by them, but be concerned by Me; so that I may
                  complete My blessings upon you and that you may be guided.

                  This is correct. The first part is singular (addressing the prophet), while the second part addresses all the believers.

                    4252 should be "it" instead of "this".

                      Salam,

                      Verse 538 which is about penalty for stealing, it is poorly translated. For new readers it would be very misleading. I think the previous translation is better and fits well with the story of Joseph.

                      The current translation of 538
                      The male thief, and the female thief, you shall cut their hands as a penalty for what they have earned?a restraint from God. God is Noble, Wise.

                      From "The Quran A Monotheist Translation" 2013 print version

                      538 As for the thief, both male and female, you shall cut from their resources-as a penalty for what they have earned-to be made an example of from God. God is Noble, Wise.

                        Salam,

                        Just making sure for the following verse, if it is repentance to God or repentance from God. Either way, I understand what is implied.

                        492
                        And it is not for a believer to kill another believer except by
                        accident. And whoever kills a believer by accident, then he shall
                        free a believing slave, and give compensation to the family; except
                        if they remit it. If he was from a people who are enemies to you,
                        and he was a believer, then you shall free a believing slave. And
                        if he was from a people with whom you have a covenant, then a
                        compensation to his family, and free a believing slave. Whoever
                        does not find, then the fasting of two months sequentially as a
                        repentance from God; for God is Knowledgeable, Wise.

                          Salam,

                          1.Is the bold correct?

                          550 Is it the judgment of the days of ignorance that they seek? And who
                          is better than God as judgment for a people who comprehend?

                          1. Missing "the" between bold

                          597 God has made the Ka?aba, the restricted shrine, to stand for the
                          people, and for the restricted month, and the offerings, and the
                          regulations; that is so you may know that God knows what is
                          in the heavens and what is in earth, and that God is aware of all
                          things.

                          1. Missing "they" between bold

                          5104 And if they are told ?Come to what God has sent down, and to
                          the messenger;? they say ?We are content with what we found
                          our fathers doing.? What if their fathers did not know anything nor were guided?

                          4.Make "you" capital

                          5114
                          Jesus, son of Mary, said ?Our god, our Lord, send down
                          to us a feast from the heaven, that it becomes a joy to us from the first to
                          the last, and a sign from You, and provide for us, you are the best provider.?

                            Salam,

                            1. Capital initiator?

                            614 Say ?Shall I take other than God as an ally; the initiator of the
                            heavens and the earth; while He feeds and is not fed!? Say ?I
                            have been commanded to be the first who submits.? And do not
                            be of the polytheists.

                            2.In one verse "who" is capital and in another its small.

                            699 And He is the One who sent down water from the heaven, and
                            We brought out with it plants of every kind. We brought out from
                            it a green from which We bring out complex seeds; and what
                            is from the palm trees, from its sheaths hanging low and near;
                            and gardens of grapes; and olives and pomegranates, comparable
                            and not comparable. Look at its fruit when it blossoms and its
                            ripeness. In this are signs for a people who believe.

                            6141 And He is the One Who initiated gardens; both trellised and
                            untrellised; and palm trees, and plants, all with different taste;
                            and olives and pomegranates, comparable and not comparable.
                            Eat from its fruit when it blossoms and give its due on the day of
                            its harvest; and do not waste. He does not like the wasteful.

                            3.Capital or small might?

                            6147 If they deny you, then say ?Your Lord has vast Mercy, but His
                            Might will not be turned away from the criminal people.?

                            6148 Those who are polytheists will say ?If God wished, we would not
                            have set up partners, nor would have our fathers, nor would we
                            have made anything forbidden.? Those before them lied in the
                            same way, until they tasted Our might. Say ?Do you have any
                            knowledge to bring out to us? You only follow conjecture, you
                            only guess.?

                            4.Capital day?

                            6158 Do they wait until the angels come to them, or your Lord comes,
                            or certain signs come from your Lord? The day certain signs
                            come from your Lord, it will do no good for any soul to believe if
                            it did not believe before, or it gained good through its belief. Say
                            ?Wait, for we are waiting.?

                              335 "in this respect" wasn't said in Qur'anic text. You can use "with/by it" if you wanna translate "bi-hi". "hi" related with "ma" and "bi" is "with or by".

                              Allah's bless and selam.

                                Salam,

                                3.Capital or small might?

                                6147 If they deny you, then say ?Your Lord has vast Mercy, but His
                                Might will not be turned away from the criminal people.?

                                I have made both those words "small" as they are not stated as direct attributes.

                                All other fixes made and uploaded.

                                  Hoping this is the right place to put this. Not sure if this is an error.

                                  In 262 the FM translation says "Surely those who believe; and those who are..." while Qur'an Corpus says "...those who believed and those who became..." According to Corpus both are plural perfect (pluperfect) verbs, which indicate something taking place in the past.

                                    Salam,

                                    1.Make you capital

                                    5116 And God will say ?O Jesus, son of Mary, did you tell the people
                                    to take you and your mother as gods other than God?? He said
                                    ?Glory to you, I cannot say what I have no right of. If I had said
                                    it then You know it, You know what is in my self while I do not
                                    know what is in Your self. You are the Knower of the unseen.?

                                    2.Maybe day is capital

                                    753 Are they waiting for what it says to come true? On the day it comes
                                    true, those who previously forgot it will say ?The messengers of
                                    our Lord have come with the truth! Are there any intercessors
                                    to intercede for us? Or can we be sent back and we will work
                                    differently than what we did?? They have lost their souls and
                                    what they have invented has abandoned them.

                                    3.Missing dot in the end of verse

                                    766 The leaders who rejected from among his people said ?We see
                                    you in foolishness, and we think you are one of the liars?

                                    1. Is last sentence correct?

                                    7147 And those who deny Our revelations and the meeting of the
                                    Hereafter, their works have collapsed. Will they not be recompensed
                                    except for what they used to do?

                                    1. Make He small

                                    7175 And recite to them the news of the person whom Our revelations
                                    were given to him, but he removed himself from them, and thus
                                    the devil followed him, and He became of those who went astray.

                                    1. I think belongs is correct

                                    7180 And to God belong the most beautiful names, so call Him by
                                    them; and leave alone those who deviate His names. They will be
                                    punished for what they used to do.

                                    7.Missing not between bold words

                                    856 Those of them with whom you made a pledge, then they break
                                    their pledge every time, and they do take heed.

                                    1. Missing the before Merciful?

                                    9104 Did they not know that it is God who accepts repentance from His
                                    servants, and He takes the charities, and that God is the Pardoner,
                                    Merciful.

                                    9.Make you and God capital

                                    1010 Their saying in it is ?Be you glorified, our god!? And their
                                    greeting in it is ?Peace,? and the end of their saying is ?Praise
                                    be to God, Lord of the worlds!?

                                    1. Change to belongs

                                    1066 Certainly, to God belong all who are in the heavens and those who
                                    are on the earth. As for those who call on partners besides God,
                                    they only follow conjecture, and they only guess.

                                    1. Capital day?

                                    118 And if We delay for them the retribution to a near period, they
                                    will say ?What has kept it?? Alas, on the day it comes to them,
                                    nothing will turn it away from them, and they will be surrounded
                                    by that which they used to mock.

                                    1. Is it one or world?

                                    1199 And they were followed by a curse in this one, and on the Day of
                                    Resurrection. What a miserable path to follow!

                                    1. capital expert

                                    11111 And to each your Lord will recompense their works. He is expert
                                    in what they do.

                                    1. Remove the?

                                    1245 And the one of them who had been saved and remembered after
                                    all this time said ?I will tell you of its interpretation, so let me be
                                    sent.?

                                    1. Needs second apostrophe at the end of verse 1282

                                    1281 ?Return to your father, and tell him ?Our father, your son has
                                    stolen, and we did not witness except what we learned, and we
                                    could not know the unseen!?
                                    1282 ?And ask the people of the town which we were in, and the caravan
                                    which we have returned with. We are being truthful.?

                                    1. Should protector be capital?

                                    12101 ?My Lord, You have given me sovereignty and taught me the
                                    interpretation of the narrations. Initiator of the heavens and the
                                    earth, You are my protector in this world and the Hereafter. Let
                                    me die as one who has submitted, and join me with the good
                                    doers.?

                                    1. I think after name them is part of what is to be said

                                    1333 It is He who is standing upon every soul for what it has earned;
                                    yet they set up partners with God. Say ?Name them?? Or are you
                                    informing Him of what He does not know on the earth or is it
                                    just a show of words? Indeed, to the rejecters, their scheming is
                                    made to appear pleasing, and they are repelled from the path. And
                                    whoever God misguides will have no guide.

                                      God is not capital here (it is allahuma - same as 326)

                                      1. Remove the?

                                        7147 And those who deny Our revelations and the meeting of the
                                        Hereafter, their works have collapsed. Will they not be recompensed except for what they used to do?

                                        7147 And those who deny Our revelations and the meeting of the Hereafter, their works have collapsed. Are they not being recompensed except for what they used to do?

                                        God is not capital here (it is allahuma - same as 326)

                                        1245 And the one who had been saved of the two, and remembered after all this time said "I will tell you of its interpretation, so let me be sent."

                                        Apostrophe or exclamation mark?

                                        1281 "Return to your father, and tell him "Our father, your son has stolen, and we did not witness except what we learned, and we could not know the unseen!"
                                        1282 "And ask the people of the town which we were in, and the caravan which we have returned with. We are being truthful!"

                                        Salam,

                                        I understood the verse from the second translation
                                        7147 And those who deny Our revelations and the meeting of the Hereafter, their works have collapsed. Are they not being recompensed except for what they used to do?

                                        I meant exclamation mark, because the first sentence is when a brother tells the others to tell their father. The verses end with what they are to tell their father, so it's a continuity of "Return to your father and tell him..."" so it would look like this;

                                        1281 "Return to your father, and tell him "Our father, your son has stolen, and we did not witness except what we learned, and we could not know the unseen!"
                                        1282 "And ask the people of the town which we were in, and the caravan which we have returned with. We are being truthful!""

                                          This verse will make it clearer what I meant regarding exclamation in the end;

                                          1926
                                          ?So eat and drink and be content. If you see any mortal, then say ?I have vowed an abstinence for the Almighty, so I will not talk today to any of mankind.??

                                          Salam
