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.
In the alternation of night and day, and in what God created in the heavens and the earth, are signs for people who are aware.

Me të vërtetë, në ndërrimin e natës e ditës dhe në atë që ka krijuar Allahu në qiej e në Tokë ka shenja për njerëzit që i frikësohen Allahut.
নিশ্চয় দিন ও রাতের আবর্তনে(২) এবং আল্লাহ আসমানসমূহ ও জমিনে যা কিছু সৃষ্টি করেছেন তাতে নিদর্শন রয়েছে, আল্লাহর আদেশ-নিষেধ মান্যকারী মুত্তাকী সম্প্রদায়ের জন্য।
U smjeni noći i dana i u onom što je Allah na nebesima i na Zemlji stvorio, zaista, postoje znakovi za ljude koji se Allahove kazne čuvaju.

ჭეშმარიტად, ღამისა და დღის მონაცვლეობაში [იმაში, თუ როგორ მოსდევენ ისინი ერთმანეთს] და იმაში, რაც ალლაჰმა ცებსა და მიწაზე შექმნა, უეჭველად არის ნათელი ნიშნები იმ ხალხისთვის, რომლებიც უფრთხიან (ალლაჰის სასჯელს).
Wahrlich, in dem Unterschied von Nacht und Tag und in dem, was Allah in den Himmeln und auf der Erde erschaffen hat, sind fürwahr Zeichen für Leute, die (Allah) fürchten.
Πράγματι, στη διαδοχή της νύχτας και της ημέρας, και σε ό,τι δημιούργησε ο Αλλάχ στους ουρανούς και στη Γη, υπάρχουν Σημάδια γι' αυτούς που φυλάσσονται από την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ (τηρώντας τις εντολές Του).
निःसंदेह रात और दिन के एक-दूसरे के बाद आने में और उन चीज़ों में जो अल्लाह ने आकाशों तथा धरती में पैदा की हैं, निश्चय उन लोगों के लिए निशानियाँ हैं, जो अल्लाह का डर रखते हैं।
In verità nella differenza tra notte e giorno, e in quello che Allāh ha creato nel cielo e nella terra, ci sono dei Segni per il popolo timorato.
6. Iš tiesų, nakties ir dienos kaitoje ir visame, ką Allahas sukūrė danguose ir žemėje, yra Ajat (įrodymai, įkalčiai, eilutės, pamokos, ženklai, apreiškimai ir t.t.) tiems žmonėms, kurie vykdo savo pareigą Allahui ir labai Jo bijo.

Воистину, в чередовании ночи и дня, и в том, что Аллах сотворил на небесах и на земле, — ясные знамения для людей, которые богобоязненны.
У смени ноћи и дана и у оном што је Аллах створио на небесима и на Земљи заиста постоје докази за људе који се Бога боје.
Hakika katika kuhitilafiana usiku na mchana, na katika vile alivyoviumba Mwenyezi Mungu katika mbingu na ardhi, zipo Ishara kwa kaumu wamchao.
I växlingen mellan natt och dag, och i allt som Gud har skapat i himlarna och på jorden, finns sannerligen tecken för gudfruktiga människor.
Gece ile gündüzün birbiri ardınca gelişinde, Allah’ın göklerde ve yerde yarattığı şeylerde sakınan bir toplum için ayetler/deliller vardır.
بلاشبہ رات اور دن کے یکے بعد دیگرے آنے میں اور اللہ تعالیٰ نے جو کچھ آسمانوں اور زمین میں پیدا کیا ہے ان سب میں ان لوگوں کے واسطے دﻻئل ہیں جو اللہ کا ڈر رکھتے ہیں۔
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.

To Him is your return, altogether. The promise of God is true. He originates creation, and then He repeats it, to reward those who believe and do good deeds with equity. As for those who disbelieve, for them is a drink of boiling water, and agonizing torment, on account of their disbelief.
Unto Him is the return of all of you; it is a promise of Allah in truth. Lo! He produceth creation, then reproduceth it, that He may reward those who believe and do good works with equity; while, as for those who disbelieve, theirs will be a boiling drink and painful doom because they disbelieved
To Him is your return all of you - God's promise in truth; verily, He produces the creature, then He makes it return again, that He may recompense those who believe and do what is right with justice; but those who misbelieve, for them is a drink of boiling water, and grievous woe, for that they did misbelieve
Unto Him shall ye return, all together: the promise of God is sure: He produceth a creature, then causeth it to return again - that he may reward those who believe and do the things that are right, with equity: but as for the infidels! - for them the draught that boileth and an afflictive torment - because they have not believed
Unto Him shall ye all return, according to the certain promise of God: For He produceth a creature, and then causeth it to return again; that He may reward those who believe and do that which is right, with equity. But as for the unbelievers, they shall drink boiling water, and they shall suffer a grievous punishment, for that they have disbelieved

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 — 0.54 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.
