EditionTanzil Qur'an text (Uthmani) ·Creative Commons Attribution 3.0
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.
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.
It is they whom God has sealed their hearts, and their hearing, and their sight. It is they who are the heedless.

Këta janë ata të cilëve Allahu ua ka vulosur zemrat, dëgjimin dhe shikimin dhe mu këta janë të shkujdesurit.
এরাই তারা, আল্লাহ যাদের অন্তরসমূহ, শ্রবণসমূহ ও দৃষ্টিসমূহের ওপর মোহর করে দিয়েছেন এবং তারাই হচ্ছে (আল্লাহর শাস্তি থেকে) গাফিল।

აი, ისინი, რომელთა გულები, სმენა და მხედველობა დაბეჭდა ალლაჰმა; და სწორედ ისინი არიან უგულისყურონი.
Sie sind jene, deren Herzen, Gehör und Augenlicht Allah versiegelt hat; und jene sind ja die Unachtsamen.
Εκείνοι είναι αυτοί που ο Αλλάχ έχει σφραγίσει τις καρδιές, την ακοή και την όρασή τους, και εκείνοι είναι αυτοί που έχουν άγνοια (για το τι τους προετοίμασε ο Αλλάχ από μαρτύριο).
ये वही लोग हैं, जिनके दिलों और उनके कानों और उनकी आँखों पर अल्लाह ने मुहर लगा दी है तथा यही लोग हैं जो बिल्कुल ग़ाफ़िल हैं।
Quelli a cui Allāh ha sigillato il cuore, e l’udito e la vista, quelli sono i distratti.

То су они чија је срца и слух и вид Аллах запечатио, и они су заиста немарни;
Hao ndio ambao Mwenyezi Mungu ameziziba nyoyo zao na kusikia kwao na kuona kwao. Na hao ndio walioghafilika.
Det är de vars hjärtan, hörsel och syn Gud har förseglat; de är fullständigt likgiltiga.
İşte onlar; Allah’ın kalplerini, kulaklarını ve gözlerini mühürlediği kimselerdir. İşte onlar gafillerin ta kendileridir.
یہ وه لوگ ہیں جن کے دلوں پر اور جن کے کانوں پر اور جن کی آنکھوں پر اللہ نے مہر لگا دی ہے اور یہی لوگ غافل 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.

The translators word this verse differently
Whoever renounces faith in God after having believed-except for someone who is compelled, while his heart rests securely in faith-but whoever willingly opens up his heart to disbelief-upon them falls wrath from God, and for them is a tremendous torment.
Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom
Whoso disbelieves in God after having believed, unless it be one who is forced and whose heart is quiet in the faith,- but whoso expands his breast to misbelieve,- on them is wrath from God, and for them is mighty woe
Whoso, after he hath believed in God denieth him, if he were forced to it and if his heart remain steadfast in the faith, shall be guiltless: but whoso openeth his breast to infidelity - on such shall be wrath from God, and a severe punishment awaiteth them
Whoever denieth God, after he hath believed, except him who shall be compelled against his will, and whose heart continueth stedfast in the faith, shall be severely chastised: But whoever shall voluntarily profess infidelity, on those shall the indignation of God fall, and they shall suffer a grievous punishment

The translators word this verse differently
That is because they have preferred the worldly life to the Hereafter, and because God does not guide the people who refuse.
That is because they have chosen the life of the world rather than the Hereafter, and because Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk
That is because they preferred the love of this world's life to the next;- but, verily, God guides not the unbelieving people
This, because they have loved this present life beyond the next, and because God guideth not the unbelievers
This shall be their sentence, because they have loved the present life above that which is to come, and for that God directeth not the unbelieving people

The translators word this verse differently
But then your Lord-for those who emigrated after being persecuted, then struggled and persevered-your Lord thereafter is Forgiving and Merciful.
Then lo! thy Lord - for those who became fugitives after they had been persecuted, and then fought and were steadfast - lo! thy Lord afterward is (for them) indeed Forgiving, Merciful
Then, verily, thy Lord, to those who fled after they had been tried, and then fought strenuously and were patient,- verily, thy Lord after that will be forgiving and merciful
To those also who after their trials fled their country, then fought and endured with patience, verily, thy Lord will in the end be forgiving, gracious
Moreover thy Lord will be favourable unto those who have fled their country, after having suffered persecution, and been compelled to deny the faith by violence, and who have since fought in defence of the true religion, and have persevered with patience; verily unto these will thy Lord be gracious and merciful, after they shall have shewn their sincerity

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.
