Kur dëshiron të lexosh Kuranin, lute Allahun të të mbrojë nga shejtani i mallkuar!
সুতরাং (হে মু’মিন!) যখন তুমি আল-কুরআন তিলাওয়াত করবে, তখন আল্লাহর কাছে বিতাড়িত (অভিশপ্ত) শয়তান হতে আশ্রয় চাও।
Kad hoćeš učiti Kur’an, zatraži od Allaha zaštitu od šejtana prokletog,
Kad hoćeš učiti Kuran, zatraži od Allaha zaštitu od vraga prokletoga,
Si a janngay Alqur'aana, moolor Alla seytaane diiwaaɗo on.
და როცა წაიკითხავ ყურანს შეეფარე ალლაჰს ქვით ჩაქოლილი სატანისგან [მისი ბოროტებისგან].
Wenn du nun den Quran vorträgst (und liest), dann suche Zuflucht bei Allah vor dem gesteinigten Satan.
Όταν θα διαβάζεις (ω, πιστέ) το Κορ’άν, αναζήτα (πρώτα) καταφύγιο στον Αλλάχ από τον καταραμένο Σατανά (και τους ψιθύρους του).
अतः जब तुम क़ुरआन पढ़ने लगो, तो धिक्कारे हुए शैतान से अल्लाह की शरण[44] माँग लिया करो।
Se leggi il Corano, rifugiati presso Allāh da Satana il lapidato!
98. Taigi, kai nori recituoti Koraną, prašyk Allaho prieglobsčio nuo Šaitan (Šėtono), atstumtojo (prakeiktojo).
Yeroo Qur’aana qaraatu sheyxaana darbatamaa irraa Rabbitti maganfadhu. [6]
Когда ты читаешь Коран, прибегай к защите Аллаха от изгнанного шайтана.
Када будеш хтео да учиш Кур'ан, затражи Аллахову заштиту од проклетог ђавола,
Na unaposoma Qur-ani, mwombe Mwenyezi Mungu akulinde kutokana na Shetani aliyelaaniwa.
Innan du börjar läsa Koranen, sök då skydd hos Gud från den förkastade Satan.
Kur’an okuduğun zaman, kovulmuş Şeytan'dan Allah’a sığın.
قرآن پڑھنے کے وقت راندے ہوئے شیطان سے اللہ کی پناه طلب کرو.[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
What you have runs out, but what is with God remains. We will reward those who are patient according to the best of their deeds.
That which ye have wasteth away, and that which Allah hath remaineth. And verily We shall pay those who are steadfast a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do
What ye have is spent, but what God has endures; and we will recompense the patient with their hire for the best deeds they have done
All that is with you passeth away, but that which is with God abideth. With a reward meet for their best deeds will we surely recompense those who have patiently endured
That which is with you will fail; but that which is with God is permanent: And We will surely reward those who shall persevere, according to the utmost merit of their actions
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُۥ حَيَوٰةً طَيِّبَةً وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while being a believer, We will grant him a good life-and We will reward them according to the best of what they used to do.
Whosoever doeth right, whether male or female, and is a believer, him verily we shall quicken with good life, and We shall pay them a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do
Whoso acts aright, male or female, and is a believer, we will quicken with a goodly life; and we will recompense them with their hire for the best deeds they have done
Whoso doeth that which is right, whether male or female, if a believer, him will we surely quicken to a happy life, and recompense them with a reward meet for their best deeds
Whoso worketh righteousness, whether he be male or female, and is a true believer, We will surely raise him to a happy life; and We will give them their reward, according to the utmost merit of their actions
16:98 — the verse above
إِنَّهُۥ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ سُلْطَٰنٌ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

He has no authority over those who believe and trust in their Lord.
Lo! he hath no power over those who believe and put trust in their Lord
Verily, he has no power over those who believe and who upon their Lord rely
For no power hath he over those who believe, and put their trust in their Lord
He hath no power over those who believe, and who put their confidence in their Lord
إِنَّمَا سُلْطَٰنُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِهِۦ مُشْرِكُونَ

His authority is only over those who follow him, and those who associate others with Him.
His power is only over those who make a friend of him, and those who ascribe partners unto Him (Allah)
His power is only over those who take him for a patron, and over the idolaters
But only hath he power over those who turn away from God, and join other deities with Him
but his power is over those only, who take him for their patron, and who give companions unto God

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 — 0.72 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.
