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.
The tradition of the messengers We sent before you-you will find no change in Our rules.

Ky qe ligji Ynë me të dërguarit Tanë që i dërguam para teje, e ti nuk do të gjesh asnjë ndryshim në ligjin Tonë.
আমি আমার রাসূলদের মধ্যে তোমার পূর্বে যাদেরকে পাঠিয়েছিলাম তাদের ক্ষেত্রেও এরূপ নিয়ম ছিল(৩২) এবং তুমি আমার নিয়মে কোনো পরিবর্তন পাবে না।
jer tako je bilo sa svima onima koji su poslanike protjerali, koje smo prije tebe poslali, i ni ti nećeš naići na odstupanje od zakona Našeg.

Ɗum ko Sunna ɓe ɓe min n nuli ko adimaa immorde e Nulaaɓe amen, a heɓantaa Sunna amen on mbattiigu.
[და ისინი დაისჯებოდნენ] ალლაჰის დადგენილი წესისამებრ მათთან მიმართებით, ვინც ჩვენს მიერ იყო მოვლენილი შენამდე მოციქულად. და შენ ვერ ნახავ ალლაჰის კანონში რაიმე ცვლილებას.
(Das ist) die Gesetzmäßigkeit (, mit der) an denjenigen von Unseren Gesandten (verfahren wurde), die Wir bereits vor dir sandten. Und du wirst bei Unserer Gesetzmäßigkeit keine Änderung (vor)finden.
Αυτός είναι ο επαναλαμβανόμενος κανόνας (και τρόπος Μας) με τους Αγγελιαφόρους που στείλαμε πριν από σένα (ότι τιμωρούμε όποιο λαό διαψεύδει ή διώχνει τον Αγγελιαφόρο του), και δε θα βρεις καμία μεταβολή στον κανόνα Μας.
उन (रसूलों) के नियम के समान[46] जिन्हें हमने आपसे पहले अपने रसूलों में से भेजा। और आप हमारे नियम में कोई परिवर्तन नहीं पाएँगे।
Si tratta in effetti della legge dei Messaggeri che inviammo prima di te, e tu non troverai a questa legge nessun cambiamento.

Karaa ergamtoota keenya kan sidura erginee (karaa siif goone). Karaa keenyaaf jijjiirama hin argitu (gadi dhaabbataadha).
Таков неизменный порядок тех, кого Мы посылали до тебя из Наших посланников; и ты не найдёшь для Нашего порядка изменения.
јер тако је било са свима онима који су посланике протерали, које смо пре тебе послали, и ни ти нећеш наићи на одступање од закона Нашег.
Hiyo ndiyo desturi ya Mitume wetu tuliowatuma kabla yako. Wala hutapata mabadiliko katika desturi yetu.
Så blev det för [de som motsatte sig] de sändebud vi sände innan dig, du kommer inte att se oss göra något avsteg från vårt förfarande.
(Bu) senden önce gönderdiğimiz peygamberlerimiz için de uyguladığımız sünnettir. Sen bizim sünnetimizde hiçbir değişiklik bulamazsın.
ایسا ہی دستور ان کا تھا جو آپ سے پہلے رسول ہم نے بھیجے[1] اور آپ ہمارے دستور میں کبھی ردوبدل نہ پائیں گے.[2]
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.

Then We would have made you taste double in life, and double at death; then you would have found for yourself no helper against Us.

The translators word this verse differently
They almost provoked you, to expel you from the land. In that case, they would not have lasted after you, except briefly.
And they indeed wished to scare thee from the land that they might drive thee forth from thence, and then they would have stayed (there) but a little after thee
And they well-nigh enticed thee away from the land, to turn thee out therefrom; but then - they should not have tarried after thee except a little
And truly they had almost caused thee to quit the land, in order wholly to drive thee forth from it: but then, themselves should have tarried but a little after thee
The unbelievers had likewise almost caused thee to depart the land, that they might have expelled thee thence: But then should they not have tarried therein after thee, except a little while

The translators word this verse differently
Perform the prayer at the decline of the sun, until the darkness of the night; and the Quran at dawn. The Quran at dawn is witnessed.
Establish worship at the going down of the sun until the dark of night, and (the recital of) the Qur'an at dawn. Lo! (the recital of) the Qur'an at dawn is ever witnessed
Be thou steadfast in prayer from the declining of the sun until the dusk of the night, and the reading of the dawn; verily, the reading of the dawn is ever testified to
Observe prayer at sunset, till the first darkening of the night, and the daybreak reading - for the daybreak reading hath its witnesses
Regularly perform thy prayer at the declension of the sun, at the first darkness of the night, and the prayer of day-break; for the prayer of day-break is born witness unto by the angels

And keep vigil with it during parts of the night, as an extra prayer. Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a laudable position.
And some part of the night awake for it, a largess for thee. It may be that thy Lord will raise thee to a praised estate
And for the night, watch thou therein as an extra service. It may be that thy Lord will raise thee to a laudable station
And watch unto it in the night: this shall be an excess in service: it may be that thy Lord will raise thee to a glorious station
And watch some part of the night in the same exercise, as a work of supererogation for thee; peradventure thy Lord will raise thee to an honourable station

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.

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.
