Nuzul

Every surah has a story.

Nuzul tells you — as a short narrated episode — when each surah was revealed, why, and in response to what event. Then it reads every verse in full from a published translation, start to finish; the spoken word moves with you on screen.

Read-along

You can read while you listen.

As a verse is read, the word being read is marked in the text. It can be followed in a quiet room, without headphones — or without hearing it at all.

96 · Alak 5:22

Yani karanlıkta asılıp tutunan küçük bir çamur pıhtısından; başladığın yeri hatırla. Üçüncü ayet:

Ayet 3

Oku! Senin Rabbin en cömert olandır.

Dördüncü ayet:

Ayet 4

O, kalemle yazmayı öğretendir.

Kalem — yani bilgiyi, ona başka türlü ulaşamayacak insanlara, çağlar ötesine taşıyan o alet. Beşinci ayet:

Ayet 5

İnsana bilmediğini öğretendir.

Structure

How an episode works

01

First, the event

The circumstances of the day the surah was revealed: who, where, in the middle of what. A minute or two.

02

Then, the text

The verses one by one, read from a published Turkish translation; after each verse comes a sentence that sets it in place.

03

When the reports differ, we say so

The narration rests on the classical reports and commentaries; where the sources diverge, the episode says so openly rather than quietly picking a side.
