In that is a sign for whoever fears the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which humanity will be gathered together-that is a Day to be witnessed.

Në të vërtetë, në këto (ngjarje) ka mësim për atë që i frikësohet dënimit të botës tjetër. Ajo është Dita në të cilën do të tubohen njerëzit dhe ajo është Ditë e dëshmuar.
নিশ্চয়ই এতে তাদের জন্য নিদর্শন রয়েছে, যারা আখিরাতের শাস্তিকে ভয় করে। সেটি এমন এক দিন, যেদিন মানুষেরা সমবেত হবে, আর সেটি এমন এক দিন, যা (সমস্ত সৃষ্টি কর্তৃক) প্রত্যক্ষ করা হবে।
U tome je, zaista, pouka za one koji se plaše patnje na onome svijetu; to je Dan kada će svi ljudi biti sabrani i to je Dan kad će svi biti prisutni,

ჭეშმარიტად, ამაშია სასწაული იმისთვის, ვისაც ეშინია იმქვეყნიური სასჯელის. ეს ის დღეა, როცა შეკრებილი იქნება ხალხი, და ეს არის დღე, რომელსაც ყველა იხილავს.
Wahrlich, darin ist ja ein Zeichen für denjenigen, der die Strafe des Jenseits fürchtet. Dies ist ein Tag, zu dem die Menschen versammelt werden, und dies ist ein bezeugter Tag.
Πράγματι, υπάρχει σ' αυτή (την αυστηρή τιμωρία) Σημάδι (και νουθεσία) για όσους φοβούνται την τιμωρία της Μέλλουσας Ζωής. Εκείνη είναι η Ημέρα (της Κρίσεως) στην οποία θα συγκεντρωθούν οι άνθρωποι και εκείνη είναι η Ημέρα στην οποία όλοι θα είναι παρόντες (και κανείς δε θα λείπει).
निश्चय ही इसमें उसके लिए एक निशानी है, जो आख़िरत की यातना से डरे। वह ऐसा दिन होगा, जिसके लिए सभी लोग एकत्रित किए जाएँगे तथा उस दिन सभी लोग उपस्थित होंगे।
In verità, in quello c’è un Segno per chi teme la punizione dell’Aldilà. Quello è un Giorno in cui verranno radunati gli uomini: quello è un Giorno solenne,

в этом — знамение для того, кто боится наказания Последней жизни. Это — День, для которого будут собраны люди, и это — День, которому [все] станут свидетелями.
У томе је, заиста, поука за оне који се плаше патње на Будућем свету; то је Дан када ће сви људи да буду сабрани и то је Дан кад ће сви да буду присутни,
Hakika katika hayo ipo ishara kwa yule anayehofu adhabu ya Akhera. Hiyo ndiyo Siku itakayokusanyiwa watu, na hiyo ndiyo Siku itakayoshuhudiwa.
I detta finns helt visst en lärdom för den som fruktar det kommande livets straff. Det är en dag då alla människor ska samlas – en dag bevittnad [av alla].
Şüphesiz, ahiret azabından korkanlar için bunda bir ibret vardır. Bu, insanların (hesap ve ceza için) toplanacakları bir gündür. O, tanık olunacak bir gündür.
یقیناً اس میں[1] ان لوگوں کے لئے نشان عبرت ہے جو قیامت کے عذاب سے ڈرتے ہیں۔ وه دن جس میں سب لوگ جمع کئے جائیں گے اور وه، وه دن ہے جس میں سب حاضر کئے جائیں گے.[2]
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.

The translators word this verse differently
We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. Their gods, whom they invoked besides God, availed them nothing when the command of your Lord arrived. In fact, they added only to their ruin.
We wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves; and their gods on whom they call beside Allah availed them naught when came thy Lord's command; they added to them naught save ruin
We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. Their gods availed them naught, on which they called instead of God, when once the bidding of thy Lord had come; nor did they add save to their downfall
We dealt not unfairly by them, but they dealt not fairly by themselves: and their gods on whom they called beside God availed them not at all when thy Lord's behest came to pass. They did but increase their ruin
And We treated them not unjustly, but they dealt unjustly with their own souls: And their gods which they invoked, besides God, were of no advantage unto them at all, when the decree of thy Lord came to be executed on them, neither were they any other than a detriment unto them
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَهِىَ ظَٰلِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُۥٓ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ

The translators word this verse differently
Such is the grip of your Lord when He seizes the towns in the midst of their sins. His grip is most painful, most severe.
Even thus is the grasp of thy Lord when He graspeth the townships while they are doing wrong. Lo! His grasp is painful, very strong
Thus is thy Lord's overtaking when He overtakes the cities that have done wrong; verity, His overtaking is grievous, keen
Such was thy Lord's grasp when he laid that grasp on the cities that had been wicked. Verily his grasp is afflictive, terrible
And thus was the punishment of thy Lord inflicted, when He punished the cities which were unjust; for his punishment is grievous and severe

We only postpone it until a predetermined time.
And We defer it only to a term already reckoned
We will not delay it, save unto a numbered and appointed time
Nor do we delay it, but until a time appointed
We defer it not, but to a determined time

On the Day when it arrives, no soul will speak without His permission. Some will be miserable, and some will be happy.
On the day when it cometh no soul will speak except by His permission; some among them will be wretched, (others) glad
The day when it shall come no soul shall speak save by His permission, and amongst them (shall be) the wretched and the glad
When that day shall come no one shall speak a word but by His leave, and some shall be miserable and others blessed
When that day shall come, no soul shall speak to excuse it self, or to intercede for another, but by the permission of God. Of them one shall be miserable, and another shall be happy

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 — 0.59 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.
