After several years a copy of the [Al-Muntakhab] translation gives us the full 24:31 rendition:

And say to those of the women who have conformed to Islam to restrain their eyes which includes
a) Obliquity of the eyes,
b) Staring a person up and down
c) Staring a person out of countenance,
d) To guard their sexual morality and to refrain from unlawful sexual congress, sex perversion and sex abuse
e) And to guard the chastity of their speech.
f) Not to display their embellishment — adventitious ornaments and fictitious additions — but not what is naturally exposed — face and hands —, To drape their shoulders and their bosoms separately or with the head-dress.
g) Not to reveal or display their beautification or embellishment except to their husbands, their fathers or fathers-in-law, their sons or step-sons, their brothers, their nephews to their brothers or to their sisters, their women associates, be they friends or reduced to servile state or those on hand or the male servants who are rendered harmless through age or physical defect or the children who are still at the stage of being mindless of sex.
h) Nor should they trample their feet to attract attention to what is hidden of their embellishment.

Allah exhorts you people who have conformed to Islam to keep in awe of Him and to entertain the profound reverence dutiful to Him so that Heaven may prosper you.

Ten translation rows were corrected across eight ayat today, addressing reports collected over the previous five months. Most of the issues share a single root cause — a one-character truncation at the end of the stored text, almost certainly an off-by-one introduced somewhere in an earlier import pipeline. Two were different bugs.

Truncations restored

In each of these, the displayed translation was missing the final character of the final word:

Other corrections

100:8 — Shabbir Ahmed. The stored text had a trailing parenthetical cross-reference “(102:1-2)” that wasn’t part of the translation itself. Removed.

103:1 and 103:2 — T.B. Irving. A verse-boundary leak: the first word of 103:2 (“everyman”) had been concatenated onto the end of 103:1. Moved back where it belongs. 103:1 now reads “By eventide,”; 103:2 now reads “everyman [feels] at a loss.”

Reporters

These reports come almost entirely from a single dedicated reader, Muhammad Mir, who has flagged dozens of similar errors over the years. Our thanks to him, and to Aderonke for the additional reports she has forwarded. Anyone who spots an issue is invited to email IslamAwakened — the volunteer time spent verifying and fixing each one is well-rewarded by readers helping us catch them.

Note on remaining queue

Several other reports are still under review — those embedded in screenshot attachments rather than typed email text. We’ll work through those next.

Cleaning up the Fadel Soliman / Bridges translation, where Surah 79 (An-Nazi’at) had been uploaded with the wrong surah number and landed on top of Surah 76 (Al-Insan) instead of in its own slot.

Another pass at the broken-link cleanup, this time going after the structural causes rather than one-off fixes.

Another full crawl of the staging site, after a day of data fixes.

A round of behind-the-scenes cleanup.

Readers have reported several needed fixes, they are queued up.
We can turn from code back to data now that we have updated the site.

The surah translation picker now uses the same color-coded category bands as the ayah-by-ayah comparison page — Source/Literal in deep blue, Generally Accepted in green, Controversial in amber, Orientalist in red, In-Progress in cyan, Obsolete in grey. Popular/Featured stays neutral.
