The translators word this verse differently
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.
And dedicate yourself to the true religion-a monotheist-and never be of the polytheists.

Dhe (më është thënë): "Ktheje fytyrën nga feja (e vërtetë) duke qenë besimdrejtë dhe assesi mos u bëj nga idhujtarët!
আর আমাকে আরো নির্দেশ দেওয়া হয়েছে যে, ‘তুমি একনিষ্ঠভাবে নিজেকে দীনের ওপর প্রতিষ্ঠিত রাখো এবং মুশরিকদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত হয়ো না।’
I naređeno mi je: "Predaj se pravoj vjeri iskreno, i nikako ne budi iz reda onih koji Allahu u obožavanju druge pridružuju,
I naređeno mi je: "Predaj se pravoj vjeri iskreno, i nikako ne budi iz reda onih koji Allahu u obožavanju druge pridružuju,
E won´de : "Ñiiɓin yeeso maa ngon diina kan ko o ooñiiɗo, wata a wonu jeyaaɗo e sirkooɓe ɓeen".
მოაპყარი შენი სახე (მხოლოდ) ჭეშმარიტ სარწმუნოებას [დაიცავი მხოლოდ იგი], იყავი ჰანიფი [ერთღმერთიანი] და არავითარ შემთხვევაში არ იყო მრავალღმერთიანთა შორის!
Und: Richte dein Gesicht aufrichtig zur Religion hin als Anhänger des rechten Glaubens, und gehöre ja nicht zu den Götzendienern!
Και (έχω διαταχθεί επίσης) ότι: «Και να είσαι σταθερός στη θρησκεία (το Ισλάμ) αποκλίνοντας από όλα τα μάταια δόγματα και τείνοντας μόνο προς την αληθινή θρησκεία, και μην είσαι από εκείνους που αποδίδουν εταίρους στον Αλλάχ στη λατρεία.
और यह कि आप एकाग्र होकर अपना मुख इस धर्म की ओर सीधा रखें और कदापि बहुदेववादियों में से न हों।
E volgi il tuo viso alla religione come un uomo di pura fede. Non essere tra gli idolatri;
105. „Ir (man apreikšta): „Atgręžk savo veidą (Muchammedai ﷺ) visiškai į Hanifa religiją (islamiškąjį monoteizmą, t. y. negarbinti nieko kito, tik Allahą Vienintelį), ir niekada nebūk iš Mušrikūn (tų, kurie priskiria Allahui partnerius, daugiadieviai, stabmeldžiai, netikintieji Allaho Vienumą ir tie, kurie garbina kitus šalia Allaho).
“Fuula kee qajeelchi (amantii dharaarraa dabuudhaan) amantii (haqaatti) gara galchi; mushrikoota irraa hin ta’in” (naanjedhame).
И [мне велено:] “Устреми свой лик к религии, будучи приверженцем единобожия, и ни в коем случае не будь из числа придающих Аллаху сотоварищей.
И наређено ми је: „Потпуно и искрено се предај чистој вери монотеизма, и никако не буди од оних који друге поред Аллаха обожавају!
Na kwamba uuelekeze uso wako kwenye Dini ya kweli, kwa unyofu wala kamwe usiwe katika washirikina.
Hängiv hela ditt väsen åt den sanna monoteistiska tron och var aldrig en avgudadyrkare.
Yüzünü dine hanif olarak döndür, sakın müşriklerden olma!
اور یہ کہ اپنا رخ یکسو ہو کر (اس) دین کی طرف کرلینا[1] ، اور کبھی مشرکوں میں سے نہ ہونا.
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.

Say, 'O ye folk! if ye are in doubt concerning my religion, I will not worship those ye worship other than God; but I worship God, who takes you to Himself, and I am bidden to be of the believers

The translators word this verse differently
And do not call, apart from God, on what neither benefits you nor harms you. If you do, you are then one of the wrongdoers.
And cry not, beside Allah, unto that which cannot profit thee nor hurt thee, for if thou didst so then wert thou of the wrong-doers
and call not besides God on what can neither profit thee nor harm thee; for if thou dost, verily, thou art then of the unjust
Neither invoke beside God that which can neither help nor hurt thee: for if thou do, thou wilt certainly then be one of those who act unjustly
neither invoke, besides God, that which can neither profit thee nor hurt thee: For if thou do, thou wilt then certainly become one of the unjust

If God afflicts you with harm, none can remove it except He. And if He wants good for you, none can repel His grace. He makes it reach whomever He wills of His servants. He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.
If Allah afflicteth thee with some hurt, there is none who can remove it save Him; and if He desireth good for thee, there is none who can repel His bounty. He striketh with it whom He will of his bondmen. He is the Forgiving, the Merciful
And should God touch thee with harm, there is none to remove it save He; and if He wish thee well, there is none to repel His grace; He makes it fall on whom He will of His servants; for He is pardoning and merciful
And if God lay the touch of trouble on thee, none can deliver thee from it but He: and if He will thee any good, none can keep back his boons. He will confer them on such of his servants as he chooseth: and He is the Gracious, the Merciful
If God afflict thee with hurt, there is none who can relieve thee from it, except He; and if He willeth thee any good, there is none who can keep back his bounty: He will confer it on such of his servants as He pleaseth; and He is gracious and merciful

In plain words — none yet for this verse
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 — 0.75 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.
