Our duas are being checked by teachers. The English pronunciation is a guide: learn the exact sounds by listening.
The meanings are explained in simple words for learners, not a word-for-word translation. For the full meaning of the Qur'an, read an established translation, such as Saheeh International in English or Maulana Muhammad Junagarhi in Urdu.
