Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

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.

Parsed structurally from the EPUB: an h3 names the surah, one p per verse with its number in its own span. An unnumbered p is the basmala and is not a verse, except in surah 1 where the basmala IS verse 1. 112 unnumbered paragraphs were found, which is 114 surahs less surah 1 and surah 9. Text is stored VERBATIM: NFC normalisation and XML entity unescaping only, because CC BY-ND forbids modification.

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.

(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.

These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them God spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had God willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had God willed, they would not have fought one another; but God does whatever He desires.

Of those messengers, some of whom We have caused to excel others, and of whom there are some unto whom Allah spake, while some of them He exalted (above others) in degree; and We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) and We supported him with the holy Spirit. And if Allah had so wiled it, those who followed after them would not have fought one with another after the clear proofs had come unto them. But they differed, some of them believing and some disbelieving. And if Allah had so willed it, they would not have fought one with another; but Allah doeth what He will

And if God had pleased, they who came after them would not have wrangled, after the clear signs had reached them.

Jei Allahas būtų norėjęs, vėlesnės kartos nebūtų kovojusios viena prieš kitą, kai joms atėjo aiškios Allaho eilutės, bet jos nesutarė – vienos iš jų patikėjo, o kitos – netikėjo. Jei Allahas būtų norėjęs, jos nebūtų kovojusios viena prieš kitą, tačiau Allahas daro tai, ką Jis nori.

Таковы посланники. Мы возвысили одних из них над другими: среди них были те, с кем говорил Аллах, а иных Он возвысил степенями. И Мы даровали ‘Исе, сыну Марьям, ясные знамения и укрепили его Святым Духом. Если бы Аллах пожелал, то те, которые пришли после них, не сражались бы между собой после того, как к ним явились ясные знамения. Но они впали в разногласия: среди них были те, кто уверовал, и те, кто отверг веру. Если бы Аллах пожелал, то они не сражались бы, однако Аллах вершит то, что пожелает.

Неке од тих посланика одликовали смо више него друге. Са некима од њих је Аллах говорио, а неке је за више степени уздигао. А Исусу, Маријином сину, смо јасне доказе дали и светим Духом (анђелом Гаврилом) га помогли. Да је Аллах хтео, они се не би међусобно после њих убијали, када су им јасни докази већ дошли, али они су се разишли, неки од њих су веровали, а неки су порицали. А да је Аллах хтео, они се не би међусобно убијали! Али, Аллах ради оно што Он жели.

Mitume hao tumewaboresha baadhi yao juu ya wengineo. Miongoni mwao kuna wale ambao Mwenyezi Mungu alisema nao, na akawapandisha vyeo baadhi yao. Na tukampa Isa mwana wa Maryam hoja zilizo wazi, na tukamtia nguvu kwa Roho Mtakatifu. Na lau kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu angelipenda, wasingelipigana wale waliokuwa baada yao, baada ya kujiwa na hoja zilizo wazi. Lakini walihitilafiana. Basi miongoni mwao kuna wale walioamini, na miongoni mwao kuna wale waliokufuru. Na lau kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu angelitaka, wasingelipigana. Lakini Mwenyezi Mungu hufanya kile akitakacho.

Vi har gett vissa av dessa sändebud företräde framför andra. Bland dem fanns de som Gud talade till, och några har han upphöjt i grader. Och vi gav Jesus, Marias son, klara bevis och stödde honom med helighetens ande. Om Gud hade velat skulle de som kom efter dem inte ha stridit med varandra efter att de klara bevisen hade nått dem, men de blev oense: några av dem trodde, och andra framhärdade i otro. Om Gud hade velat skulle de inte ha stridit, men Gud gör vad han vill.

İşte bu rasûller yok mu, biz onların bazısını bazısından üstün kıldık. Allah'ın konuştuğu ve bazılarının da derecelerini yükselttiği kimseler onlardandır. Meryemoğlu İsa'ya apaçık deliller vermiş ve onu Ruhu'l-Kudüs (Cebrâil) ile desteklemişizdir. Eğer Allah dileseydi, bu peygamberlerden sonra gelen milletler, kendilerine gelen apaçık delillerden sonra birbirlerini öldürmezlerdi. Fakat onlar ihtilâfa düştüler. Onlardan bir kısmı iman etti; bir kısmı da küfre girdi. Eğer Allah dileseydi, birbirlerini öldürmezlerdi. Fakat Allah, dilediğini yapar.

یہ رسول ہیں جن میں سے ہم نے بعض کو بعض پر فضیلت دی ہے[1] ، ان میں سے بعض وه ہیں جن سے اللہ تعالیٰ نے بات چیت کی ہے اور بعض کے درجے بلند کئے ہیں، اور ہم نے عیسیٰ بن مریم کو معجزات عطا فرمائے اور روح القدس سے ان کی تائید کی[2]۔ اگر اللہ تعالیٰ چاہتا تو ان کے بعد والے اپنے پاس دلیلیں آجانے کے بعد ہرگز آپس میں لڑائی بھڑائی نہ کرتے، لیکن ان لوگوں نے اختلاف کیا، ان میں سے بعض تو مومن ہوئے اور بعض کافر، اور اگر اللہ تعالیٰ چاہتا تو یہ آپس میں نہ لڑتے[3]، لیکن اللہ تعالیٰ جو چاہتا ہے کرتا ہے۔

About these translations

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.

About easy-read

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.

Talal Itani2012 And they defeated them by God's leave, and David killed Goliath, and God gave him sovereignty and wisdom, and taught him as He willed. Were it not for God restraining the people, some by means of others, the earth would have gone to ruin. But God is gracious towards mankind.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 So they routed them by Allah's leave and David slew Goliath; and Allah gave him the kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of that which He willeth. And if Allah had not repelled some men by others the earth would have been corrupted. But Allah is a Lord of Kindness to (His) creatures

Edward Henry Palmer1880 And they put them to flight by the permission of God, and David killed Galut, and God gave him the kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of what He willed. And were it not for God's repelling men one with another the earth would become spoiled; but God is Lord of grace over the worlds

John Medows Rodwell1861 And by the will of God they routed them; and (Daood) David slew Goliath; and God gave him the kingship and wisdom, and taught him according to His will: and were it not for the restraint of one by means of the other, imposed on men by God, verily the earth had been utterly corrupted. But God is bounteous to his creatures

George Sale1734 Therefore they discomfited them, by the will of God, and David slew Jalut. And God gave him the kingdom and wisdom, and taught him his will, and if God had not prevented men, the one by the other, verily the earth had been corrupted: But God is beneficent towards his creatures

Talal Itani2012 God! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 Allah! There is no deity save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous

Edward Henry Palmer1880 God, there is no god but He, the living, the self-subsistent. Slumber takes Him not, nor sleep. His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. Who is it that intercedes with Him save by His permission? He knows what is before them and what behind them, and they comprehend not aught of His knowledge but of what He pleases. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and it tires Him not to guard them both, for He is high and grand

John Medows Rodwell1861 God! There is no God but He; the Living, the Eternal; Nor slumber seizeth Him, nor sleep; His, whatsoever is in the Heavens and whatsoever is in the Earth! Who is he that can intercede with Him but by His own permission? He knoweth what hath been before them and what shall be after them; yet nought of His knowledge shall they grasp, save what He willeth. His Throne reacheth over the Heavens and the Earth, and the upholding of both burdeneth Him not; and He is the High, the Great

George Sale1734 God! There is no God but he; the living, the self-subsisting: Neither slumber nor sleep seizeth him; to him belongeth whatsoever is in heaven, and on earth. Who is he that can intercede with him, but through his good pleasure? He knoweth that which is past, and that which is to come unto them, and they shall not comprehend any thing of his knowledge, but so far as he pleaseth. His throne is extended over heaven and earth, and the preservation of both is no burden unto him. He is the high, the mighty
