Who would forsake the religion of Abraham, except he who fools himself? We chose him in this world, and in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.

Fesë së Ibrahimit ia kthen shpinën vetëm ai që që tregohet mendjelehtë! Ne e zgjodhëm atë (Ibrahimin) në këtë botë, kurse në botën tjetër do të jetë ndër të mirët.
আর যে নিজেকে বোকা-নির্বোধ বানিয়েছে, সে ব্যতীত ইব্রাহীম এর মিল্লাত হতে আর কে বিমুখ হবে! দুনিয়াতে আমি তাকে মনোনীত করেছি ; আর আখিরাতেও সে হবে সৎকর্মশীলদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত ।
Ko drugi vjeru Ibrahimovu izbjegava do onaj koji ne drži do sebe!? Mi smo njega na ovome svijetu odabrali, pa će on i na drugom svijetu biti među dobrima.
Tko drugi vjeru Abrahamovu izbjegava do onaj koji ne drži do sebe!? Mi smo njega na ovome svijetu odabrali, pa će on i na drugom svijetu biti među dobrima.
Alaa ɗuurnotooɗo (calotooɗo) laawol Ibrahiima sonaa mbo fittaandu makko ɗaayi nganndee min cuɓiima mo he aduna kanko o jeyaa ko he moƴƴuɓe to laakara.
და ვინ განუდგება იბრაჰიმის რელიგიას, თუ არა ის, ვინც უგუნურად მოექცა საკუთარ სულს? ჩვენ უკვე ამოვარჩიეთ ის ამქვეყნად და ჭეშმარიტად, ის იმქვეყნადაც მართალთაგან იქნება.
Und wer verschmäht die Glaubensrichtung Ibrahims außer dem, der sich selbst zum Toren macht? Und Wir haben ihn (also Ibrahim) ja bereits im Diesseits auserwählt, und im Jenseits gehört er gewiss zu den Rechtschaffenen.
Και ποιος αποστρέφεται τη θρησκεία του Ιμπραήμ (Αβραάμ) (δηλ. τον Ισλαμικό Μονοθεϊσμό), εκτός απ' αυτόν που υποτιμά τον εαυτό του (με την ανοησία του, αγνοώντας τι τον ωφελεί και τι τον βλάπτει); Στ’ αλήθεια, Εμείς τον επιλέξαμε (τον Αβραάμ) σ' αυτόν τον κόσμο (σε υψηλή θέση, ως Προφήτη), και στη Μέλλουσα Ζωή θα βρίσκεται ανάμεσα στους δίκαιους.
तथा कौन है जो इबराहीम के धर्म से विमुख होगा, सिवाय उसके जिसने अपने आपको मूर्ख बना लिया। निःसंदेह हमने उसे संसार में चुन लिया[66] तथा निःसंदेह वह आख़िरत (परलोक) में निश्चय सदाचारियों में से है।
E chi proverà avversione per la religione di Ibrāhīm, se non chi degrada la sua anima? In verità l’abbiamo elevato in terra e nell’Aldilà sarà tra i giusti.
130. Ir kas nusigręžia nuo Ibrahimo (Abraomo) tikėjimo (t. y. islamiškojo monoteizmo), jei ne tas, kuris apkvailina save patį? Tikrai, Mes išrinkome jį šiame gyvenime ir, iš tiesų, Amžinybėje jis bus tarp teisingųjų.
Sila namni amantii Ibraahiim irraa gara galu eenyu? nama lubbuu isaa gowwoomse yoo tahe malee, dhugumatti addunyaa keessattis isa filannee jirra, inni Aakhiraa keessattis warra gaggaarii irraayyi.
Кто же отвернётся от вероучения Ибрахима, кроме того, кто проявил глупость по отношению к самому себе? Несомненно, Мы избрали его в этом мире, и, воистину, в Последней жизни он — из числа праведников.
Ко други веру Аврамову избегава до онај који не држи до себе!? Ми смо њега на овоме свету одабрали, па ће он и на другом свету бити међу добрима.
Na nani atajitenga na mila ya Ibrahim isipokuwa anayeitia nafsi yake katika upumbavu? Na kwa yakini, Sisi tulimteua yeye katika dunia. Na hakika yeye katika Akhera atakuwa miongoni mwa watu wema.
Och vem vänder sig ifrån Abrahams religion utom [den som förnedrar] sig själv genom sin dårskap? Vi har valt ut honom i detta liv, och i det kommande livet kommer han säkerligen att vara bland de rättfärdiga.
Kendini bilmezden başka İbrahim’in dininden kim yüz çevirir? Andolsun, biz İbrahim’i bu dünyada seçkin kıldık. Şüphesiz o ahirette de salih kimselerdendir.
دین ابراہیمی سے وہی بےرغبتی کرے گا جو محض بےوقوف ہو، ہم نے تو اسے دنیا میں بھی برگزیده کیا تھا اور آخرت میں بھی وه نیکوکاروں میں سے ہے۔[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
Our Lord, and make us submissive to You, and from our descendants a community submissive to You. And show us our rites, and accept our repentance. You are the Acceptor of Repentance, the Merciful.
Our Lord! And make us submissive unto Thee and of our seed a nation submissive unto Thee, and show us our ways of worship, and relent toward us. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Relenting, the Merciful
Lord! and make us too resigned unto Thee, and of our seed also a nation resigned unto Thee, and show us our rites, and turn towards us, verily, Thou art easy to be turned and merciful

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.
