Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
Say, "Look at what is in the heavens and the earth." But signs and warnings are of no avail for people who do not believe.

Thuaj: "Vështroni çfarë ka në qiej dhe në Tokë! Por, shenjat dhe paralajmërimet nuk u bëjnë dobi njerëzve që nuk besojnë."
(হে রাসূল!) বলো: ‘আসমানসমূহ ও জমিনে যা কিছু আছে, সেগুলোর দিকে তাকিয়ে দেখো। আর (কুফরির ওপর গোঁয়ার্তুমির কারণে) যারা ঈমান আনে না, নিদর্শনাবলি ও ভীতি প্রদর্শন এমন সম্প্রদায়ের কোনো কাজে আসে না।’
Reci: "Posmatrajte ono što je na nebesima i na Zemlji!", a ni od kakve koristi neće biti znakovi i upozorenja narodu koji ne vjeruje.

Maaku: "Ndaaree ko holɗum woni ka kammuuli e ka leydi". aayeeje ɗe e jertinooje ɗe nafatah yimɓe ɓe ngooɗintaa ɓen.
უთხარი (ო, შუამავალო): «შეხედეთ, რა არის ცათა შინა და ქვეყანასა ზედა». მაგრამ სასწაულები და შეგონება ვერაფერს არგებს იმ ხალხს, რომელთაც არ ირწმუნეს.
Sag: „Schaut, was in den Himmeln und auf der Erde ist!“ Aber die Zeichen und die Warnungen werden nicht den Leuten nützen, die nicht glauben.
Πες (ω, Προφήτη στους ειδωλολάτρες): «Κοιτάξτε τι υπάρχει στους ουρανούς και στη γη (από τα Σημάδια του Αλλάχ)!» Αλλά τα Σημάδια και οι προειδοποιήσεις δεν ωφελούν εκείνους που δεν πιστεύουν (που επιμένουν στην απιστία, την αλαζονεία και την ισχυρογνωμοσύνη τους).
(ऐ नबी!) उनसे कह दें : तुम देखो आकाशों और धरती में क्या कुछ है? तथा निशानियाँ और चेतावनियाँ उन लोगों के लिए किसी काम की नहीं हैं जो ईमान नहीं लाते।
Di’: «Osservate ciò che è nei cieli e in terra». Ma a che servono i segni e gli avvertimenti a gente che non crede?
101. Sakyk: „Pažiūrėkite į viską, kas yra danguose ir žemėje“, tačiau nei Ajat (įrodymai, įkalčiai, eilutės, pamokos, ženklai, apreiškimai ir t.t.), nei perspėtojai duoda naudos tiems, kurie netiki.

Скажи: «Посмотрите на то, что в небесах и на земле!» Однако ни знамения, ни предостережения не принесут пользы народу, который не уверует.
Реци: „Посматрајте оно што је на небесима и на Земљи!“ А ни од какве користи неће бити докази и упозорења народу који не жели да верује.
Sema: Angalieni yaliyo katika mbingu na ardhi! Na Ishara zote na maonyo haviwafai kitu kaumu wasioamini.
Säg: ”Begrunda vad som finns i himlarna och på jorden!” Men vad hjälper tecken och varningar människor som inte vill tro?
De ki: “Göklerde ve yerde neler var; bir bakın.” O âyetler ve korkutmalar, iman etmeyecek bir topluluğa fayda vermez.
آپ کہہ دیجئے کہ تم غور کرو کہ کیا کیا چیزیں آسمانوں میں اور زمین میں ہیں اور جو لوگ ایمان نہیں ﻻتے ان کو نشانیاں اور دھمکیاں کچھ فائده نہیں پہنچاتیں.
5 cleared translations, newest first, by year of publication, so the modern English comes before the historical ones. That is an ordering by date, not a judgement. Each is shown complete — this platform never excerpts a translation — and each renders under its translator's name. No translation here is marked as the correct one.
Which translations appear here is set by copyright: they are the ones whose rights could be documented and cleared. The selection is not a judgement that these are the best.
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

Had your Lord willed, everyone on earth would have believed. Will you compel people to become believers?
And if thy Lord willed, all who are in the earth would have believed together. Wouldst thou (Muhammad) compel men until they are believers
But had thy Lord pleased, all who are in the earth would have believed altogether; as for thee, wilt thou force men to become believers
But if thy Lord had pleased, verily all who are in the earth would have believed together. What! wilt thou compel men to become believers

No soul can believe except by God's leave; and He lays disgrace upon those who refuse to understand.
It is not for any soul to believe save by the permission of Allah. He hath set uncleanness upon those who have no sense
It is not for any person to believe save by the permission of God; He puts horror on those who have no sense
No soul can believe but by the permission of God: and he shall lay his wrath on those who will not understand
No soul can believe, but by the permission of God: And He shall pour out his indignation on those who will not understand

Do they expect anything but the likes of the days of those who passed away before them? Say, "Then wait, I will be waiting with you."
What expect they save the like of the days of those who passed away before them? Say: Expect then! I am with you among the expectant
Do they await aught but the like of the days of those who passed away before them?' Say, 'Wait ye then! verily, I am with you one of those who wait
What then can they expect but the like of such days of wrath as befel those who flourish before them? SAY: WAIT; I too will wait with you

These figures count the words the translations share. They measure wording, not meaning, and they do not say which translation is right.
Derived measure: mean pairwise Jaccard distance over the lowercased word sets of the 5 renderings above — 0.51 on a scale where 0 means identical wording and 1 means no shared words. It is computed, not judged.
The page says a verse is worded differently only above the cut below. The cut is a stated convention, not a property of the text, and it can be changed.
One bar per pair of renderings, longest bar for the pair sharing fewest words. Every pair is shown; none is singled out.
The platform does not say which is right, and does not characterise what the difference means. The renderings are placed together so the difference is visible; reading it is the reader's work.

7 sources stand behind this page. Each is listed once, in the order the page first cites it, with the licence it was cleared under and what was actually read. Nothing on this page rests on a source that is not here.
CLEARED. Licence read verbatim from the block embedded in this very file. Ingested exactly as shipped: no normalisation, no stripping of marks, no Unicode recomposition.
CLEARED on a licence read first-hand from the translator's own download page, not from an aggregator. Tanzil also hosts this translation, but under a blanket "non-commercial purposes only" term that directs the user to the translator or publisher for permission - a hosting disclaimer, not a grant - so the grant was taken from the licensor directly. The "God" edition was ingested; ClearQuran also publishes an "Allah" edition, differing in how the divine name is rendered, which is not ingested.
CLEARED ON THE WORK, WITH TWO RECORDED CAVEATS ON THIS COPY. (1) Rights basis is the expired copyright term, NOT the redistributing repository's licence. That repository dedicates its contents to the public domain under the Unlicense while also redistributing plainly in-copyright translations (Abdel Haleem, Saheeh International, The Study Quran), so it is dedicating rights it cannot hold and its blanket grant is not relied upon here. (2) The file declares its own upstream as tanzil.net, and Tanzil attaches a non-commercial condition to its TRANSLATION distributions, though not to its Qur'anic text. Since Pickthall's copyright has expired, nobody holds rights in these words and no licence is required from anyone; Tanzil's terms are a contract binding those who download from Tanzil, which we did not. The chain is nonetheless not spotless and Anwar may prefer a clean digitisation of the 1930 printing. NOT VERIFIED: that this digital text matches the 1930 first printing rather than a later revised edition. No page images were collated. Recorded as unverified rather than presented as established. SERVED TEXT DIFFERS FROM THE CITED FILE AT ONE VERSE, 37:97: the file reads "red-hotfire" (a glued token, also in Gutenberg #16955); the served row reads "red-hot fire", restored 2026-09-13 from Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (London: George Allen & Unwin, printed for Alfred A. Knopf; 1930), p. 460, XXXVII 97 - scan archive.org in.ernet.dli.2015.216140, PDF page 475; banked data/derivation-sources/pickthall-1930-dli-2015.216140-text.pdf (sha256 70e81146c97fa3a590243a82e04e349108546074787e2551a78c616202138870) on Anwar Malik's grant.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is not stated by the redistributor and the printing is unverified. No statement of purpose is recorded for Palmer because none was sourced from his own preface in this pass; nothing is asserted on his behalf.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. TWO edition caveats. (1) The upstream is not stated by the redistributor. (2) Rodwell's own edition PRESENTS THE SURAHS IN HIS OWN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, not the mushaf order — he says so in his preface. This digital text is keyed to mushaf order, so it derives from a restored-order printing (such as the Everyman edition) rather than from Rodwell's own arrangement. Which printing is not stated and has not been established.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is NOT STATED by the redistributor, so the printing it represents is unverified; Sale's text was reprinted and re-edited many times between 1734 and 1900. Recorded as unverified rather than assumed to be the first edition.
CLEARED. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
