Latin reading · Turkish convention

Refî‘u’d-derecâti

About the reading and meaning

The first witness phrases shown in the index; the full verse is translated only when the witness covers the entire verse.

An aid to reading in Latin script using Turkish letters and transliteration conventions. Final vowels and nunation are shown in their connected-reading/grammatical forms; â/î/û indicate long vowels, ‘ represents ayn, and ʾ represents hamza. Other apostrophes mark boundaries between connected words. The Latin transcription does not represent all sound features of pausing and tajwid.

The English meanings translate the project's original brief Turkish renderings prepared from the Arabic witnesses. They are not verbatim quotations from a published Quran translation or text presented as the Diyanet translation. Contextual explanations appear in a separate meaning note.
