"And why should we not trust in God, when He has guided us in our ways? We will persevere in the face of your persecution. And upon God the reliant should rely."

E përse të mos i mbështetemi Allahut, ndërkohë që Ai na ka udhëzuar në rrugë të drejtë?! Ne njëmend do të bëjmë durim kundrejt vuajtjeve që na i shkaktoni ju. Vetëm Allahut le t'i mbështeten ata që mbështeten."
‘আর আমরা কেন আল্লাহর ওপর তাওয়াক্কুল করব না? অথচ তিনিই আমাদেরকে আমাদের সঠিক পথের সন্ধান দিয়েছেন। আর তোমরা আমাদের (মিথ্যারোপ ও ঠাট্টা-বিদ্রূপের মাধ্যমে) যে কষ্ট দিচ্ছ, আমরা তার ওপর অবশ্যই ধৈর্যধারণ করব। আর আল্লাহর ওপরই যেন তাওয়াক্কুলকারীরা (ভরসাকারীরা) তাওয়াক্কুল করে।’
"Zašto da se ne uzdamo u Allaha kad nas je On putevima kojim idemo uputio? Mi ćemo, doista, strpljivo podnositi ono čime nas uznemiravate – a oni koji se uzdaju, neka se samo u Allaha uzdaju!"

Ko haɗata men nde pawotoo e Alla, gooŋɗii o fewnii min (e) laawi amen? Ma min muñño e kon ko lorroton men. Ko e Alla gooŋɗinɓe ɓen pawotoo".
და რა უფლებით არ უნდა მივენდოთ ალლაჰს, როცა მან გვიჩვენა ჩვენი გზები? და ჩვენ უთუოდ მოვითმენთ იმ ზიანს, რომელსაც თქვენ გვაყენებთ. დაე, ალლაჰს მიენდონ მინდობილნი.
Und warum sollten wir uns nicht auf Allah verlassen, wo Er uns doch unsere Wege geleitet hat? Und wir werden ganz gewiss das geduldig ertragen, was ihr uns an Leid zugefügt habt. Und auf Allah sollen sich diejenigen verlassen, die sich (überhaupt auf jemanden) verlassen (wollen).“
Και πώς να μην εμπιστευόμαστε τον Αλλάχ, καθώς Αυτός είναι που μας καθοδήγησε στον πιο ορθό από τους δρόμους! Σίγουρα θα υπομένουμε καρτερικά σε ό,τι μας βλάπτετε. Και τον Αλλάχ ας εμπιστευτούν οι πιστοί.»
और हमें क्या है कि हम अल्लाह पर भरोसा न करें, हालाँकि उसने हमें हमारे मार्ग दिखा दिए? और हम अवश्य उसपर धैर्य से काम लेंगे, जो तुम हमें कष्ट पहुँचाओगे। और भरोसा करने वालों को अल्लाह ही पर भरोसा करना चाहिए।
E perché non dovremmo affidarci ad Allāh? Lui ci ha guidati sui nostri sentieri. E noi sopporteremo il male che ci avete fatto, e si affidino ad Allāh i devoti.»
12. „Ir kodėl mes neturėtume pasitikėti Allahu, kai Jis iš tiesų išvedė mus teisingai? Ir mes tikrai pakelsime kantriai visą skausmą, kurį jūs besukeltumėte mums, ir lai Allahu (Vieninteliu) pasitiki tie, kurie pasitiki.“
Sila dhugumatti odoo Inni karaa keenya (islaamummatti) nu qajeelchee jiruu maaltu nuuf jiraayyi Rabbi irratti hin hirkanne! Dhugumatti rakkoo isin nurrraan geessan irratti ni obsina. irkattoonni Rabbi (qofa) irratti haa irkatu.”
И почему бы нам не уповать на Аллаха, ведь Он уже повёл нас нашими путями? Мы непременно будем терпеливы к тому, чем вы причиняете нам страдание. И на Аллаха пусть уповают уповающие».
„Зашто да се не ослонимо на Аллаха кад нас је Он путевима којим идемо упутио? Ми ћемо, заиста, стрпљиво да подносимо оно чиме нас узнемиравате - а они који се ослањају, нека се само на Аллаха ослањају!“
Na tuna nini hata tusimtegemee Mwenyezi Mungu, na hali Yeye ametuongoa kwenye njia zetu. Na hakuna hakika tutayavumilia hayo maudhi mnayotuudhi nayo. Na juu ya Mwenyezi Mungu na wategemee wanaotegemea.
Och varför skulle vi inte sätta vår lit till Gud när han visat oss [den rätta] vägen? Vi ska tålmodigt uthärda den skada ni orsakar oss! Ja, till Gud ska de tillitsfulla sätta sin lit.”
“Allah, bize yollarımızı dosdoğru göstermişken, biz ne diye O’na tevekkül etmeyelim? Bize yaptığınız eziyete elbette katlanacağız. Tevekkül edenler, yalnız Allah’a tevekkül etsinler.''
آخر کیا وجہ ہے کہ ہم اللہ تعالیٰ پر بھروسہ نہ رکھیں جبکہ اسی نے ہمیں ہماری راہیں سمجھائی ہیں۔ واللہ جو ایذائیں تم ہمیں دو گے ہم ان پر صبر ہی کریں گے۔ توکل کرنے والوں کو یہی ﻻئق ہے کہ اللہ ہی پر توکل کریں.[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.

Their messengers said, "Is there any doubt about God, Maker of the heavens and the earth? He calls you to forgive you your sins, and to defer you until a stated term." They said, "You are only humans like us; you want to turn us away from what our ancestors worshiped; so bring us a clear proof."
Their messengers said: Can there be doubt concerning Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? He calleth you that He may forgive you your sins and reprieve you unto an appointed term. They said: Ye are but mortals like us, who would fain turn us away from what our fathers used to worship. Then bring some clear warrant
Their apostles said, 'Is there doubt about God, the originator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you to pardon you for your sins, and to respite you until an appointed time.' They said, 'Ye are but mortals like ourselves; ye wish to turn us from what our fathers used to serve. Bring us, then, obvious authority
Their prophets said: "Is there any doubt concerning God, maker of the Heavens and of the Earth, who calleth you that He may pardon your sins, and respite you until an appointed time?" They said, "Ye are but men like us: fain would ye turn us from our fathers' worship. Bring us therefore some clear proof
Their apostles answered, is there any doubt concerning God, the creator of heaven and earth? He inviteth you to the true faith that He may forgive you part of your sins, and may respite your punishment, by granting you space to repent, until an appointed time. They answered, ye are but men, like unto us: Ye seek to turn us aside from the gods which our fathers worshipped; wherefore bring us an evident demonstration by some miracle, that ye speak truth

Their messengers said to them, "We are only humans like you, but God favors whomever He wills from among His servants. We cannot possibly show you any proof, except by leave of God. In God let the faithful put their trust."
Their messengers said unto them: We are but mortals like you, but Allah giveth grace unto whom He will of His slaves. It is not ours to bring you a warrant unless by the permission of Allah. In Allah let believers put their trust
Their apostles said unto them, 'We are only mortals like yourselves; but God is gracious unto whomsoever He will of His servants, and it is not for us to bring you an authority, save by His permission; but upon God do the believers rely
Their Apostles said to them, "We are indeed but men like you. But God bestoweth favours on such of his servants as he pleaseth, and it is not in our power to bring you any special proof, But by the leave of God. In God therefore let the faithful trust
Their apostles replied unto them, we are no other than men like unto you; but God is bountiful unto such of his servants as He pleaseth: And it is not in our power to give you a miraculous demonstration of our mission, unless by the permission of God; in God therfore let the faithful trust

Those who disbelieved said to their messengers, "We will expel you from our land, unless you return to our religion." And their Lord inspired them: "We will destroy the wrongdoers."
And those who disbelieved said unto their messengers: Verily we will drive you out from our land, unless ye return to our religion. Then their Lord inspired them, (saying): Verily we shall destroy the wrong-doers
And those who misbelieved said to their apostles, 'We will drive you forth from our land; or else ye shall return to our faith! ' And their Lord inspired them, 'We will surely destroy the unjust

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 — 0.69 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.
