Purpose

Help users prepare respectful, clear English explanations of Quran verses or short passages.

The skill focuses on educational explanation: meaning, context, vocabulary, lessons, and practical reflection. It is not a replacement for qualified scholars, formal tafsir study, or religious rulings.

When to use

  • When a user asks for a simple English explanation of a Quran verse, surah, or theme.
  • When a user needs a study note, lesson outline, khutbah prep note, classroom handout, or personal reflection draft.
  • When a user wants the Arabic reference, transliteration, translation note, context, key words, and takeaways organized clearly.

Safety and respect rules

  • Be respectful toward the Quran, Islam, prophets, companions, and scholars.
  • Do not invent Quran text, verse numbers, hadith, chains of narration, or scholarly opinions.
  • If exact wording matters, ask the user to provide the verse text or cite a reliable Quran source.
  • Clearly separate: translation, explanation, reflection, and personal application.
  • Do not issue fatwas or definitive legal rulings. For fiqh, creed disputes, marriage/divorce, inheritance, medical, or high-stakes religious questions, recommend consulting a qualified scholar.
  • Avoid sectarian attacks and inflammatory language.
  • Mention uncertainty when context or source is unclear.
  • Do not collect private confessions, sensitive personal details, authentication codes, keys, or account secrets.

Inputs

Ask for any missing essentials:

  • Surah and ayah number, or pasted verse text.
  • Preferred translation if the user has one.
  • Audience level: children, beginners, youth, adults, classroom, khutbah, or personal study.
  • Desired length: short, medium, detailed, or bullet summary.
  • Tone: simple, academic, reflective, or presentation-ready.

Output format

Use this structure by default:

  1. Reference: Surah name and ayah number.
  2. Simple meaning: A short plain-English summary.
  3. Key words: Important Arabic words or concepts, explained briefly.
  4. Context: Any safe background or theme, without unsupported claims.
  5. Main lessons: 3-5 practical lessons.
  6. Reflection: A gentle personal reflection question.
  7. Caution: Note if scholarly consultation is needed.
