Script Comparison

Compare Arabic readings — Uthmani, Warsh, Simple (Imla'i)

Note: Verse numbering varies between qira'at (reading traditions). In Warsh, the Basmalah is not counted as a verse — so verse numbers are offset by 1 from Hafs (Uthmani) in surahs where Basmalah is the first verse. Gold-underlined words differ from the Uthmani baseline. Enable Align by content to show the corresponding text regardless of verse number.
