Parwaz-e-Deen
Everything you need to know about using Parwaz-e-Deen effectively.
Press ▶ Tour in the menu. In under a minute it shows every part of the site at work. Then open the page that fits what you want to do.
Qur'an & Hadith: you have a subject and want the verses and narrations about it. Quranic Studies: you have one ayah and want to read several commentaries on it. Ask: you have a question and want a written answer with its sources. Hadith: you want hadith only, or one hadith by its number. Daily: one verse and one hadith for today. Bayans and eBooks: listening and reading.
No account and no charge. Everything on the site is open to read, hear and share.
Yes. The menu at the top right has five themes, including a white Light one for daytime and a black Dark one for night. Your choice is remembered on your device.
It introduces the page. Click it once to fold it away and give the page more room; click again to bring it back.
You type once and get two lists side by side: verses of the Qur'an and hadith, both chosen because their meaning is close to what you typed, not because they share a word with it.
Describe the subject in a short phrase of three to eight words, such as “patience during hardship” or “rights of neighbours”. A single word is too vague and a long paragraph blurs the subject. A search may be up to 100 characters.
English, Urdu or Arabic. You can type in one language and still be shown texts in the others.
Only close matches are shown; weak ones are held back rather than padded in. Try a fuller phrase, or say the same thing in other words.
How close the text is in meaning to your words. It says nothing about how authentic a hadith is: that is its grade, shown separately on the card.
Each verse card lets you switch between an English translation (Abdel Haleem) and four Urdu ones, and open the commentary of Bayan-ul-Quran. “More tafsirs & translations” brings others from Quran.ai, and “Compare tafsirs” opens the verse in Quranic Studies.
Yes. Every card has Copy and Share. The link is permanent and opens that one verse or hadith on this site.
It shows one ayah of the Qur'an with three commentaries beside it, in four equal windows. Choose any three writers from 21 tafsirs in Urdu, English and Arabic and read them side by side.
Pick the surah and the ayah from the two lists, step with the arrows, or type a few words of the verse or its meaning in “Find an ayah”.
A useful set is one classical work (Ibn Kathir, al-Tabari), one modern one (Ma'arif-ul-Qur'an) and one in your own language (Bayan-ul-Quran in Urdu). Where they agree you have the settled meaning; where they differ you see the range of scholarly opinion.
Bayan-ul-Quran by Dr. Israr Ahmad is held on this site. The others are read from Quran.ai (Quran Foundation) when you choose them, and shown exactly as received, with the writer's name and a link to the source.
A commentary is fetched from Quran.ai the first time anyone opens it. After that it is kept ready and appears at once.
Yes. “Copy link” keeps the ayah and your three writers, so the person opens exactly what you were reading.
Fanar-Sadiq, an assistant for questions about Islam built by the Qatar Computing Research Institute (fanar.qa). It searches the Qur'an, the hadith collections and the works of the scholars, writes an answer from what it finds, and lists its sources beside the answer.
Ask one thing at a time and be specific: “Is wiping over socks allowed in wudu?” works better than “Tell me about wudu”. Say what matters to the ruling (travelling, illness, which school you follow). A question may be up to 300 characters. You can then ask a follow-up and it will remember what came before; “New question” starts afresh.
Ask in English, Arabic or Urdu. Answers come in English or Arabic; an Urdu question is answered in Arabic. Press “اردو ترجمہ” beside an answer to read it in Urdu. That Urdu is a machine translation, so the original answer stays on screen as the one to rely on.
Every claim carries a number such as [1]. The same number in the Sources list beside the answer opens the passage it was taken from. Read the passage, not only the summary.
No. It is a help for study and it can be wrong. For a ruling on your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
It answers questions about Islam only. A question on another subject is politely declined.
It is sent to Fanar to be answered and is not stored by this site. The conversation stays in your own browser tab and is gone when you close it.
The service is free and shared, so there is a limit on questions per minute. If it is reached, the page tells you how many seconds to wait.
By meaning, not by keyword. Type a subject or a question in English, Urdu or Arabic and it finds the narrations closest to it across seven collections: Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasai, Ibn Majah and Musnad Ahmad, 35,379 narrations in all.
Single: one subject, all collections or the ones you tick. Multi: up to three subjects at once, each with its own results. Locate: go straight to a hadith by collection, book and number.
The percentage is how close the hadith is to your words; above about 75% it is usually right on the subject. The grade (sahih, hasan and so on) is the scholars' judgement of the narration, shown as our source records it. “Not graded” means no grade is recorded here; it does not mean the hadith is weak.
Every hadith has Arabic and English. A scholar's Urdu translation is held for about 9,150 of them, mainly Sahih al-Bukhari and about half of Sunan Abi Dawud. More will be added, in sha Allah.
On a hadith with no scholar's Urdu, it shows an Urdu translation made by a computer (Fanar). It is clearly marked, has not been checked by a scholar and can be wrong, so read it as a help and rely on the Arabic and the English.
Yes. Copy and Share on each card give a permanent link to that hadith on this site.
One verse of the Qur'an and one hadith, the same for every visitor, with translation. They change every night at midnight, Indian time.
Use the buttons under each one to send it by WhatsApp, Telegram or email, or to copy it.
245 talks, about 200 hours, by Dr. Israr Ahmad: the complete Bayan-ul-Quran, surah by surah, and his lectures and khutbas in Urdu and English.
Open a collection and choose a talk. Its length is shown beside it. The player stays at the foot of the page while you look through the other collections.
The Qur'an in Arabic, English and Urdu, the major hadith collections and other works, free to read.
Choose a book and it opens in your browser, on a computer or a phone. There is nothing to install.
When the site has been resting it needs up to half a minute to get ready, and it now does this in the background as soon as it wakes. A search made in those first moments can take longer; after that, searches take about a second.
A search may be 100 characters and a question 300. Short, clear wording gives better results, and the limits keep the free service fair for everyone.
Not yet. The website is built to work well on a phone. A dedicated app is on our roadmap, in sha Allah.
Please tell us through the Contact page, with the verse or hadith number. Corrections are welcome.
