All 114 surahs →Reading the Quran online
The complete Quran is on this site to read online, free and in full: 114 surahs and 6,236 verses in the Uthmani Arabic script, each verse paired with the English translation beside it. Nothing is behind a sign-in, a paywall or an advertisement, and no part of the text is abridged.
Every verse is plain HTML with its own anchor, so a page loads and stays readable without JavaScript, works on a slow connection, and can be linked to at the level of a single ayah — 2:255, for instance. You can read surah by surah or by juz, follow the recitation of any of 39 reciters verse by verse, adjust the Arabic face and text size, and search the whole text by word, phrase or reference.
Alongside the Quran the site gives accurate prayer times for any location, the qibla direction, the daily azkar with their sources, and the Hijri calendar.

How Prayer Times Are Calculated
Prayer times come from the position of the sun, which means they can be computed exactly for any place and date without looking anything up.

What the Qibla Is and How to Find It
The qibla is the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah. Finding it is a geometry problem, and the answer is often not the direction a flat map suggests.

What a Juz Is, and Why the Quran Has 30
The juz is a division of length, not of meaning — it exists so the Quran can be read evenly over a month.
Where the text comes from
The Arabic is the Uthmani text of the Tanzil Project, used verbatim and unedited. The English translation is Pickthall. Recitation is streamed from everyayah.com. Every source and licence is listed on the credits page, and the site publishes no commentary or rulings of its own — see about.
