This Qur'an could not have been devised by any beside God; but it verifies that which was before it, and details the Book - there is no doubt therein - from the Lord of the worlds

This Quran could not have been produced by anyone other than God. In fact, it is a confirmation of what preceded it, and an elaboration of the Book. There is no doubt about it-it is from the Lord of the Universe.

And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be invented in despite of Allah; but it is a confirmation of that which was before it and an exposition of that which is decreed for mankind - Therein is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds

Ky Kuran nuk mund të bëhet nga askush tjetër përveç Allahut, por ai është vërtetues i shpalljeve para tij dhe shpjegues i Librit, për të cilin nuk ka dyshim se është nga Zoti i botëve.
আর এ আল-কুরআন আল্লাহ ছাড়া অন্য কারোর রচনা হওয়া সম্ভব নয়। বরং এটি পূর্বের নাযিলকৃত কিতাবগুলোর সত্যায়নকারী এবং সেগুলোর (সংক্ষিপ্ত বিধানের) বিস্তারিত বর্ণনাকারী। এতে কোনো সন্দেহ নেই যে, এটা সৃষ্টিকুলের রবের পক্ষ থেকে নাযিলকৃত।
Ovaj Kur’an nije izmišljen, od Allaha je – on potvrđuje ono prije njega i objašnjava propise, u njega nema sumnje, od Gospodara svjetova je!

ეს ყურანი ვერ იქნებოდა მოგონილი ვინმეს მიერ ალლაჰის გარდა. იგი გადმოიცა იმის დასამოწმებლად, რაც ადრე იყო გამოცხადებული, და როგორც წიგნის განმარტება. არ არის ეჭვი იმაში, რომ ის სამყაროთა უფლისგანაა.
Und dieser Quran kann keinesfalls ohne Allah ersonnen werden. (Er ist) dagegen die Bestätigung dessen, was vor ihm war, und die ausführliche Darlegung des Buches, an dem es keinen Zweifel gibt, vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner.
Αυτό το Κορ’άν (ω, ειδωλολάτρες) δε θα μπορούσε να έχει επινοηθεί από οποιοδήποτε από τα δημιουργήματα του Αλλάχ (όπως ισχυριστήκατε ότι ο Προφήτης το επινόησε ή το έμαθε από άλλον άνδρα)! Αλλά είναι (η αποκάλυψη και) η επιβεβαίωση γι' αυτά (την Τορά και το Ιν-τζήλ -το πρωτότυπο Ευαγγέλιο του Ιησού) που ήταν πριν απ' αυτό, και μια πλήρη εξήγηση του Βιβλίου (όσων γράφτηκαν από τους νόμους, τις υποχρεωτικές πράξεις και τις απαγορεύσεις) - δεν υπάρχει καμία αμφιβολία σ' αυτό (το Κορ’άν) - (το οποίο) αποκαλύφθηκε από τον Κύριο όλων των κόσμων.
और यह क़ुरआन ऐसा नहीं है कि अल्लाह के अलावा किसी और द्वारा घड़ लिया जाए, बल्कि यह उसकी पुष्टि करता है, जो इससे पहले है और किताब का विवरण (अर्थात् हलाल एवं हराम तथा धर्म के नियमों की व्याख्या) है। इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं कि यह सारे संसारों के पालनहार की ओर से है।
E non può questo Corano essere stato rivelato da altri che Allāh. Ma è una conferma di ciò che hanno tra le mani (i libri precedenti) e un chiarimento del Libro – non c’è dubbio – viene dal Dio dei Mondi.
37. Ir šis Koranas nėra toks, kuris galėtų kada nors būti sukurtas kieno nors kito, nei Allaho (dangų ir žemės Viešpaties). Tačiau tai yra (apreiškimo) patvirtinimas, kuris buvo prieš jį [t. y. Tauratas (Tora), ir Indžylis (Evangelija)], ir pilnas Knygos (t. y. įstatymų, paskelbtų žmonijai) paaiškinimas – kuriame nėra jokių abejonių – nuo Alamyn (žmonijos, džinų ir viso, kas egzistuoja) Viešpaties.

Этот Коран не может быть вымыслом, [сочинённым] кем-либо помимо Аллаха. Напротив, он — подтверждение [истинности] того, что было до него, и разъяснение Писания. Нет в нём сомнения: он — от Господа миров.
Овај Кур'ан није измишљен, од Аллаха је - он потврђује оно што је објављено пре њега и објашњава прописе, нема сумње да је он Објава од Господара светова!
Na haikuwa Qur-ani hii ni ya kuzuliwa kutoka kwa asiyekuwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Lakini ni usadikisho wa yale yaliyoitangulia, na ni maelezo ya kina ya Kitabu kisicho na shaka yoyote ndani yake, kutoka kwa Mola Mlezi wa viumbe vyote.
Denna Koran kunde inte ha ställts samman av någon annan än Gud. Tvärtom är den en bekräftelse av det [som uppenbarats] före den och en klargörande utläggning av [tidigare] skrift. Den är utan minsta tvivel från världarnas Herre.
Bu Kur'an Allah'tandır. Başkası tarafından uydurulmuş bir (kitap) değildir. Ancak kendinden öncekini doğrulayan ve o kitabı açıklayandır. Onda şüphe yoktur, o âlemlerin Rabbindendir.
اور یہ قرآن ایسا نہیں ہے کہ اللہ (کی وحی) کے بغیر (اپنے ہی سے) گھڑ لیا گیا ہو۔ بلکہ یہ تو (ان کتابوں کی) تصدیق کرنے واﻻ ہے جو اس کے قبل (نازل) ہوچکی ہیں [1] اور کتاب (احکام ضروریہ) کی تفصیل بیان کرنے واﻻ ہے [2]اس میں کوئی بات شک کی نہیں [3]کہ رب العالمین کی طرف سے ہے.[4]
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: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that leadeth to the Truth? Say: Allah leadeth to the Truth. Is He Who leadeth to the Truth more deserving that He should be followed, or he who findeth not the way unless he (himself) be guided. What aileth you? How judge ye
Say, 'Is there any of your associates who guides unto the truth?' Say, 'God guides unto the truth.' Is then He who guides unto the truth more worthy to be followed, or he that guides not except he be himself guided? What ails you then, bow ye judge

Say, is there any of your companions who directeth unto the truth? Say, God directeth unto the truth. Whether is he therefore, who directeth unto the truth, more worthy to be followed; or he who directeth not, unless he be directed? What aileth you therefore, that ye judge as ye do

The translators word this verse differently
Most of them follow nothing but assumptions; and assumptions avail nothing against the truth. God is fully aware of what they do.
Most of them follow not but conjecture. Assuredly conjecture can by no means take the place of truth. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do
But most of them follow only suspicion; verily, suspicion does not avail against the truth at all; verily, God knows what they do
And most of them follow only a conceit: - But a conceit attaineth to nought of truth! Verily God knoweth what they say
And the greater part of them follow an uncertain opinion only; but a mere opinion attaineth not unto any truth. Verily God knoweth that which they do

Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Say, "Then produce a single chapter like it, and call upon whomever you can, apart from God, if you are truthful."

Do they say, 'He hath devised it?' say then, 'Bring a surah like it,- and call, if ye can, on other than God, if ye do tell the truth

The translators word this verse differently
In fact, they deny what is beyond the limits of their knowledge, and whose explanation has not yet reached them. Thus those before them refused to believe. So note the consequences for the wrongdoers.
Nay, but they denied that, the knowledge whereof they could not compass, and whereof the interpretation (in events) hath not yet come unto them. Even so did those before them deny. Then see what was the consequence for the wrong-doers
Yet they call that a lie, the knowledge of which they cannot compass, while its interpretation has not yet come to them; so did those before them charge with lying, and see what was the end of the unjust
But that which they embrace not in their knowledge have they charged with falsehood, though the explanation of it had not yet been given them. So those who were before them brought charges of imposture: But see what was the end of the unjust
But they have charged that with falsehood, the knowledge whereof they do not comprehend, neither hath the interpretation thereof come unto them. In the same manner did those who were before them, accuse their prophets of imposture; but behold, what was the end of the unjust

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 — 0.57 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.
