Map of the Quran

Twenty places the Quran names

The map plots locations the Quran refers to directly — Makkah and Madinah, Egypt and Sinai, Babylon, the sanctuary at Jerusalem — each with the ayat that name it, so a place on the map opens the verse in the reader rather than a description of the verse.

Geography as a reading aid

Several passages are hard to follow without knowing how far apart two places are, or which direction a journey ran. Seeing the distance between Makkah and Madinah, or where Sinai sits relative to Egypt, does more for a reading of those passages than another paragraph of commentary.

Where a location is uncertain, it says so

Some sites named in the Quran have an agreed modern location and some do not. Where identification is disputed, the map is a study aid rather than a ruling on the disputed site, and we do not turn a scholarly disagreement into a pin by pretending it is settled.
