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.
God does not wrong the people in the least, but the people wrong their own selves.

S'ka dyshim se Allahu nuk u bën njerëzve padrejtësi aspak, por njerëzit i bëjnë padrejtësi vetvetes.
নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ মানষের প্রতি কোনো যুলম করেন না; বরং মানুষই (নিজেদেরকে ধ্বংসের দ্বারপ্রান্তে উপনীত করে) নিজেদের প্রতি যুলম করে থাকে।(২১)
Allah, zaista, nikakvu nepravdu ne čini ljudima, ljudi je sami sebi čine.
Allah, zaista, nikakvu nepravdu ne čini ljudima, ljudi je sami sebi čine.
Pellet Alla tooñirta yimɓe ɓeen huunde, ko woni, ko yimɓe ɓe tooñata ko'e muen.
ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი ადამიანების მიმართ ოდნავადაც არ იქცევა უსამართლოდ, არამედ ადამიანები თავად იქცევიან უსამართლოდ საკუთარი თავის მიმართ!
Wahrlich, Allah fügt den Menschen kein Unrecht zu, sondern die Menschen fügen sich selbst Unrecht zu.
Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ δεν αδικεί τους ανθρώπους στο ελάχιστο, αλλά οι άνθρωποι είναι οι ίδιοι που αδικούν τον εαυτό τους (με το φανατισμό τους για την πλάνη, την απιστία, το ψέμα, την αλαζονεία και το πείσμα).
निःसंदेह अल्लाह लोगों पर कुछ भी अत्याचार नहीं करता, परंतु लोग स्वयं ही अपने ऊपर अत्याचार करते हैं।[17]
In verità Allāh non fa nessun torto alla gente – ma la gente fa torto a se stessa.
44. Iš tiesų, Allahas neklaidina žmonijos niekame, tačiau žmonija klaidina pati save.
Rabbiin nama waatakkallee hin miidhu, Garuu namoonni ofiif lubbuulee isaanii miidhu.
Воистину, Аллах не поступает с людьми несправедливо, но они поступают несправедливо с самими собой.
Аллах, заиста, никакву неправду не чини људима, људи је чине сами себи.
Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu hawadhulumu watu kitu chochote, lakini watu wenyewe wanazidhulumu nafsi zao.
Gud gör inte människorna den minsta orätt, det är människorna som gör sig själva orätt.
Şüphesiz ki Allah insanlara hiçbir şekilde zulmetmez, fakat insanlar kendilerine zulmederler.
یہ یقینی بات ہے کہ اللہ لوگوں پر کچھ ﻇلم نہیں کرتا لیکن لوگ خود ہی اپنی جانوں پر ﻇلم کرتے ہیں.[1]
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.

On the Day when He rounds them up-as if they had tarried only one hour of a day-they will recognize one another. Those who denied the meeting with God will be the losers. They were not guided.
And on the day when He shall gather them together, (when it will seem) as though they had tarried but an hour of the day, recognising one another, those will verily have perished who denied the meeting with Allah and were not guided
And on the day when we will gather them together it will be as though they had not tarried save an hour of the day, they shall know each other. Lost are those who called the meeting with God a lie, and were not guided
Moreover, on that day, He will gather them all together: They shall seem as though they had waited but an hour of the day! They shall recognise one another! Now perish they who denied the meeting with God, and were not guided aright
On a certain day He will gather them together, as though they had not tarried above an hour of a day: They shall know one another. Then shall they perish who have denied the meeting of God; and were not rightly directed

Whether We show you some of what We promise them, or take you, to Us is their return. God is witness to everything they do.
Whether We let thee (O Muhammad) behold something of that which We promise them or (whether We) cause thee to die, still unto Us is their return, and Allah, moreover, is Witness over what they do
Either we will show thee something of that with which we threatened them, or we will take thee to ourself, for unto us is their return; then is God a witness to what they do
Whether we cause thee to see some of our menaces against them fulfilled, or whether we first take thee to Ourself, to us do they return. Then shall God bear witness of what they do
Whether We cause thee to see a part of the punishment wherewith We have threatened them, or whether We cause thee to die before thou see it; unto Us shall they return: Then shall God be witness of that which they do

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 — 0.71 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.
