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.
And keep vigil with it during parts of the night, as an extra prayer. Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a laudable position.

Dhe zgjohu e falu gjatë natës, duke e lexuar atë (Kuranin), si namaz shtesë për ty, që Zoti yt të të ngrejë në një vend të lavdëruar.
আর (হে রাসূল!) রাতের কিছু অংশে তোমার অতিরিক্ত দায়িত্ব হিসেবে ‘তাহাজ্জুদ’ আদায় করো । আশা করা যায়, তোমার রব তোমাকে (কিয়ামতের দিন সুপারিশকারী হিসেবে পুনরুত্থান করে) প্রশংসিত অবস্থানে প্রতিষ্ঠিত করবেন।
I bdij dio noći u namazu – tebi dodatnom; na onome svijetu Gospodar tvoj će te na hvaljeni položaj postaviti.
I bdij dio noći u molitvi – tebi dodatnoj; na onome svijetu Gospodar tvoj će te na hvaljeni položaj postaviti.
Ka jemma tinno e makko ko ɓeydaari maaɗa, no jortaa nde Joomi maaɗa immintinat ma e darorɗe yettiniinde.
და ღამის ერთ ნაწილში იკითხე [ყურანი] ლოცვაში, შენთვის განსაკუთრებული დამატებითი ლოცვა. ეგებ გიბოძოს [ო, მუჰამმად] შენმა ღმერთმა ქებული ადგილი.
Und (einen Teil) der Nacht, so verbringe ihn (mit dem freiwilligen Nachtgebet), als zusätzliche Tat für dich. Vielleicht wird dich (ja) dein Herr zu einer lobenswerten (Rang)stellung erwecken.
Και κατά τη διάρκεια της νύχτας, ξύπνα (ω, Προφήτη) και τέλεσε την προσευχή, ως αύξηση για σένα στη θέση (και τα επίπεδα), ώστε ο Κύριός σου (την Ημέρα της Ανάστασης) να σου δώσει μία αξιέπαινη θέση.
तथा आप रात के कुछ समय में उठकर नमाज़ (तहज्जुद)[49] पढ़िए। यह आपके लिए अतिरिक्त है। क़रीब है कि आपका पालनहार आपको "मक़ामे महमूद"[50] पर खड़ा करे।
e nella notte prega con Esso volontariamente: forse il tuo Dio ti concederà il Luogo dell’intercessione, (Makamen mahmūdan)
79. Ir kai kurias nakties dalis (taip pat) atlik maldą su juo (t. y. recituok Koraną maldoje), kaip papildomą maldą (tahadžud pasirenkamoji malda – navafil) sau (Muchammedai ﷺ). Gali būti, kad tavo Viešpats iškels tave į Makam Mahmūd (šlovės ir garbės būseną, t. y. garbė tarpininkauti Prikėlimo Dieną).
Halkan irraa isaan (Qur’aanaan) haala (salaata) dabalataa siif taateen sagadi. Gooftaan kee iddoo faarfamaa ta’e si dhaabuun mirkanaa’aadha.
И в часть ночи бодрствуй с ним, совершая это для себя как дополнительное, — может быть, твой Господь возведёт тебя на место достохвальное.
И пробди део ноћи у молитви – то је само твоја дужност; Господар твој ће ти на Будућем свету хвале достојно место даровати.
Na amka usiku kwa ajili ya kufanya ibada kwayo, ni ziada ya sunna hasa kwako wewe. Huenda Mola wako Mlezi akakunyanyua cheo kinachosifika.
Och ägna en del av natten åt att be, utöver det som har ålagts dig; din Herre ska på domedagen låta dig uppstå till den lovprisade positionen.
Gecenin bir kısmında uyanarak, sana mahsus ziyade olarak namaz kıl. Umulur ki Rabbin seni övgüye layık bir mevkiye yükseltir.
رات کے کچھ حصے میں تہجد کی نماز میں قرآن کی تلاوت کریں[1] یہ زیادتی آپ کے لئے ہے[2] عنقریب آپ کا رب آپ کو مقام محمود میں کھڑا کرے گا.[3]
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.

This was our way with the Apostles we have already sent before thee, and in this our way thou shalt find no change

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

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 — 0.60 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.
