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.
The translators word this verse differently
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.
He said, "You will find me, God willing, patient; and I will not disobey you in any order of yours."

Musai tha: "Do të më gjesh durimtar, në dashtë Allahu, dhe nuk do të të kundërshtoj për asgjë."
সে (মূসা) বললো: ‘ইন শা আল্লাহ, আপনি আমাকে ধৈর্যশীল পাবেন এবং কোনো বিষয়ে আমি আপনার অবাধ্য হবো না।’
“Vidjet ćeš da ću strpljiv biti, ako Bog da”, reče Musa, “i da ti se neću ni u čemu protiviti.”
“Vidjet ćeš da ću strpljiv biti, ako Bog da”, reče Mojsije, “i da ti se neću ni u čemu protiviti.”
[Muusaa] maaki: "A tawat kam n si Alla Muuyi ko mi munñiiɗo, mi yeddataa yamiroore maa".
[შუამავალმა მუსამ] უთხრა: «შენ მპოვებ მე, თუ ალლაჰი ისურვებს, მოთმინებით აღსავსეს, და არ შეგეწინააღმდეგები არც ერთ შენს საქმეში».
Er sagte: „Du wirst mich, so Allah will, geduldig vorfinden, und ich werde mich keinem Befehl von dir widersetzen.“
(Ο Μωυσής) είπε: «Θα με βρεις, αν θέλει ο Αλλάχ, υπομονετικό και δε θα παρακούσω καμία από τις εντολές σου.»
उसने कहा : यदि अल्लाह ने चाहा, तो आप मुझे धैर्य रखने वाला पाएँगे और मैं आपके किसी आदेश का उल्लंघन नहीं करूँगा।
Disse: «Mi troverai, se Allāh vorrà, paziente e non ti disobbedirò in nessun ordine.»
69. Mūsa (Mozė) tarė: „Jei Allahas panorės, tu pamatysi mane esant kantriu, ir aš paklusiu tau tame.“
(Muusaan) “Yoo Rabbiin fedhe obsaa ta’uu na argita, Ajaja keetis hin didu” jedhe.
Он сказал: «Ты найдёшь меня, если пожелает Аллах, терпеливым, и я не ослушаюсь твоего повеления».
„Видећеш да ћу да будем стрпљив, ако Аллах да!“ Рече Мојсије, „и да нећу ни у чему да ти се супротстављам.“
Akasema: In shaa Allah (Mwenyezi Mungu akitaka), utanikuta mvumilivu, wala sitaasi amri yako yoyote.
[Mose] svarade: ”Om Gud vill, ska du se att jag har tålamod, och jag ska inte motsätta mig något du gör.”
"İnşallah, beni sabırlı olarak bulacaksın ve senin emrine karşı gelmeyeceğim." dedi.
موسیٰ نے جواب دیا کہ انشاءاللہ آپ مجھے صبر کرنے واﻻ پائیں گے اور کسی بات میں، میں آپ کی نافرمانی نہ کروں گا.
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.

So they set out. Until, when they had boarded the boat, he holed it. He said, "Did you hole it, to drown its passengers? You have done something awful."
So they twain set out till, when they were in the ship, he made a hole therein. (Moses) said: Hast thou made a hole therein to drown the folk thereof? Thou verily hast done a dreadful thing
So they set out until when they rode in the bark, he scuttled it. Said he, 'Hast thou scuttled it to drown its crew? Thou hast produced a strange thing
So they both went on, till they embarked in a ship, and he - the unknown - staved it in. "What!" said Moses, "hast thou staved it in that thou mayest drown its crew? a strange thing now hast thou done
So they both went on by the sea shore, until they went up into a ship; and he made a hole therein. And Moses said unto him, hast thou made a hole therein, that thou mightest drown those who are on board? Now hast thou done a strange thing

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 — 0.66 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.
