He created the heavens and the earth with justice. He is exalted above the associations they attribute.

Ai krijoi qiejt dhe Tokën me urtësi. I Lartësuar është Ai mbi çdo gjë që i shoqërojnë (në adhurim)!
তিনি আসমানসমূহ ও জমিন সৃষ্টি করেছেন যথাযথভাবেই, তারা যা শরীক করে, তা থেকে তিনি ঊর্ধ্বে।
On je s Istinom nebesa i Zemlju stvorio, neka je On vrlo visoko iznad onoga što Mu pridružuju.

O tagiri kammuuli ɗiin e leydi ndin goonga. o toowii e ko ɓe sirkoobe cirkata ko.
გააჩინა ცანი და დედამიწა ჭეშმარიტებით. ამაღლებულია იმაზე, რასაც თანაზიარად უდგენენ.
Er hat die Himmel und die Erde in Wahrheit erschaffen. Erhaben ist Er über das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen.
Δημιούργησε τους ουρανούς και τη Γη με την αλήθεια (και ως ένδειξη της Δύναμής Του και όχι άσκοπα). Είναι πολύ Ανώτερος από ό,τι Του αποδίδουν (από ψεύτικους θεούς στη λατρεία)!
उसने आकाशों तथा धरती को सत्य के साथ पैदा किया। वह उससे बहुत ऊँचा है, जो वे शरीक बनाते हैं।
Creò i cieli e la terra con la Verità. Lui è molto al di sopra di ciò che Gli paragonano!
3. Jis sukūrė dangus ir žemę su tiesa. Aukštas yra Jis, Išaukštintas virš visko, ką jie priskiria Jam į partnerius.
Samiileefi dachii dhugaadhaan uumeera, Inni waan isaan (Isatti) qindeessan irraa ol ta’eera.
Он сотворил небеса и землю с истиной. Превыше Он того, что они придают Ему в сотоварищи.
Он је мудро небеса и Земљу створио; нека је Он врло високо изнад оних које поред Њега обожавају!
Ameziumba mbingu na ardhi kwa Haki. Ametukuka na hayo wanayomshirikisha nayo.
Han har skapat himlarna och jorden med ett visst syfte. Upphöjd är han, över vad de sätter vid hans sida!
Gökleri ve yeri hak ile yarattı ve müşriklerin şirk koşmalarından çok yücedir/yüksektedir.
اسی نے آسمانوں اور زمین کو حق کے ساتھ پیدا کیا[1] وه اس سے بری ہے جو مشرک کرتے 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.

The translators word this verse differently
The command of God has come, so do not rush it. Glory be to Him; exalted above what they associate.
The commandment of Allah will come to pass, so seek not ye to hasten it. Glorified and Exalted be He above all that they associate (with Him)
God's bidding will come; seek not then to hasten it on. Celebrated be His praises from what they join with Him
THE doom of God cometh to pass. Then hasten it not. Glory be to Him! High let Him be exalted above the gods whom they join with Him
The sentence of God will surely come to be executed; wherefore do not hasten it. Praise be unto Him! And far be that from Him which they associate with Him

He sends down the angels with the Spirit by His command, upon whom He wills of His servants: "Give warning that there is no god but Me, and fear Me."
He sendeth down the angels with the Spirit of His command unto whom He will of His bondmen, (saying): Warn mankind that there is no Allah save Me, so keep your duty unto Me
He sends down the angels with the Spirit at His bidding upon whom He will of His servants (to say), 'Give warning that there is no god but Me; Me therefore do ye fear
By his own behest will He cause the angels to descend with the Spirit on whom he pleaseth among his servants, bidding them, "Warn that there is no God but me; therefore fear me
He shall cause the angels to descend with a revelation by his command, unto such of his servants as He pleaseth, saying, preach that there is no God, except myself; therefore fear Me

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 — 0.50 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.
