And if they answer not your prayer, then know that it is revealed only in the knowledge of Allah; and that there is no Allah save Him. Will ye then be (of) those who surrender

Por, në qoftë se nuk ju përgjigjen, atëherë dijeni se ky (Kuran) ka zbritur me dijen e Allahut dhe se nuk ka zot që meriton të adhurohet përveç Tij. Pra, a nuk po bëheni muslimanë (të nënshtruar ndaj Allahut)?
তবে যদি তারা তোমাদের ডাকে সাড়া না দেয়, তাহলে জেনে রাখো, এ (আল-কুরআন) আল্লাহর জ্ঞান অনুযায়ীই নাযিল করা হয়েছে এবং তিনি ছাড়া কোনো (সত্য) ইলাহ (উপাস্য) নেই। সুতরাং তোমরা (এ অকাট্য দলীলের পরও) কি আত্মসমর্পণকারী (মুসলিম) হবে না?

Sollten sie euch nun nicht erhören, dann wisset, dass er gewiss nur mit Allahs Wissen hinabgesandt worden ist und dass es keinen Anbetungswürdigen gibt außer Ihm! Werdet ihr nun (Allah ergebene) Muslime sein?
Αλλά αν δεν ανταποκρίνονται σε σας (ω, πιστοί, και δε φέρουν αυτό που ζητήσατε, επειδή είναι αδύνατο να το κάνουν), ας ξέρετε ότι (το Κορ’άν) έχει αποκαλυφθεί με τη γνώση του Αλλάχ (και δεν είναι επινοημένο), και ότι δεν υπάρχει άλλος θεός που αξίζει να λατρεύεται παρά μόνον Αυτός. Θα είστε λοιπόν (μετά απ' αυτή τη μεγάλη απόδειξη) Μουσουλμάνοι (υποταγμένοι στη Βούληση του Αλλάχ);
फिर यदि वे तुम्हारी मांग पूरी न करें, तो जान लो कि यह (क़ुरआन) अल्लाह के ज्ञान के साथ उतारा गया है और यह कि उसके सिवा कोई पूज्य नहीं। तो क्या तुम मुसलमान होते हो?
Ma se non dovessero rispondere alla vostra invocazione, sappiate in verità che questo è stato rivelato con piena conoscenza di Allāh, e che non c’è altra divinità all’infuori di Lui; siete tra i musulmani?
14. Jei tada jie tau neatsako, žinok tada, kad tai [Apreiškimas (šis Koranas)] yra nuleistas su Allaho Žinojimu ir kad La ilaha illa Huva (niekas neturi teisės būti garbinamas, tik Jis)! Ar jūs tada būsite musulmonai (tie, kurie paklūsta islame)?

И если они вам не ответят, то знайте, что он был ниспослан по знанию Аллаха и что нет божества, кроме Него. Так не станете ли вы покорными?
А ако вам се не одазову, онда знајте да се он објављује само са Аллаховим знањем и да нема истинског бога осим Њега - па јесте ли Му предани?!
Na wasipokuitikieni, basi jueni ya kwamba (hii Qur-ani) imeteremshwa kwa elimu ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na kwamba hakuna mungu isipokuwa Yeye. Basi je, nyinyi ni Waislamu?
Om de inte besvarar er, vet då att den sänts ned med Guds kunskap och att ingen är värd dyrkan utom han. Ska ni då inte underkasta er honom?
Eğer size karşılık vermezlerse, onun (Kur'an'ın) ancak Allah’ın ilmi ile indirilmiş olduğunu ve O’ndan başka (hak) ilah olmadığını bilin! Artık siz Müslüman oluyor musunuz?
پھر اگر وه تمہاری اس بات کو قبول نہ کریں تو تم یقین سے جان لو کہ یہ قرآن اللہ کے علم کے ساتھ اتارا گیا ہے اور یہ کہ اللہ کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں، پس کیا تم مسلمان ہوتے ہو؟[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.

Perhaps you wish to disregard some of what is revealed to you, and you may be stressed because of it, since they say, "If only a treasure was sent down to him, or an angel came with him." You are only a warner, and God is Responsible for all things.
A likely thing, that thou wouldst forsake aught of that which hath been revealed unto thee, and that thy breast should be straitened for it, because they say: Why hath not a treasure been sent down for him, or an angel come with him? Thou art but a warner, and Allah is in charge of all things
Haply thou art leaving part of what is revealed to thee and thy breast is straitened thereby, lest they should say, 'Why is not a treasure sent down to him? or why did not an angel come with him?- thou art only a warner, and God is guardian over all
Perhaps thou wilt suppress a part of what hath been revealed to thee, and wilt be distress at heart lest they say, "If a treasure be not sent down to him, or an angel come with him. . . ." But thou art only a warner, and God hath all things in his charge
Peradventure thou wilt omit to publish part of that which hath been revealed unto thee, and thy breast will become straitened, lest they say, unless a treasure be sent down unto him, or an angel come with him, to bear witness unto him, we will not believe. Verily thou art a preacher only; and God is the governor of all things

The translators word this verse differently
Or do they say, "He invented it?" Say, "Then produce ten chapters like it, invented, and call upon whomever you can, besides God, if you are truthful."
Or they say: He hath invented it. Say: Then bring ten surahs, the like thereof, invented, and call on everyone ye can beside Allah, if ye are truthful
Or they will say, 'He hath devised it;' say, 'Bring ten surahs like it devised; and call upon whom ye can beside God, if ye do tell the truth
If they shall say, "The Koran is his own device," SAY: Then bring ten Suras like it of your devising, and call whom ye can to your aid beside God, if ye are men of truth
Will they say, he hath forged the Koran? Answer, bring therefore ten chapters like unto it, forged by your selves; and call on whomsoever ye may to assist you, except God, if ye speak truth

The translators word this verse differently
These-they will have nothing but the Fire in the Hereafter. Their deeds are in vain therein, and their works are null.
Those are they for whom is naught in the Hereafter save the Fire. (All) that they contrive here is vain and (all) that they are wont to do is fruitless
These are those for whom there is nothing in the hereafter save the Fire; and void is what they made therein, and vain what they were doing
These are they for whom there is nothing in the next world but the Fire: all that they have wrought in this life shall come to nought, and vain shall be all their doings
These are they for whom no other reward is prepared in the next life, except the fire of hell: That which they have done in this life shall perish; and that which they have wrought shall be vain

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 — 0.56 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.
