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.
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.
Whoever is hostile to God, and His angels, and His messengers, and Gabriel, and Michael-God is hostile to the faithless.

Kushdo që armiqëson Allahun, melekët e Tij, të dërguarit e Tij, Xhibrilin dhe Mikailin, le ta dijë se Allahu është armik i jobesimtarëve.
আল্লাহর, তাঁর ফিরিশতাগণের, তাঁর রাসূলগণের এবং জিব্রীলের ও মীকাঈলের যে কেউ শত্রু, সে নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ কাফিরদের শত্রু।
Ko je neprijatelj Allahu, melekima Njegovim i poslanicima Njegovim i Džibrilu i Mikalu – pa, Allah je, doista, neprijatelj onima koji ne vjeruju!
Tko je neprijatelj Allahu, anđelima Njegovim i poslanicima Njegovim i Gabrijelu i Mihaelu – pa, Allah je, doista, neprijatelj onima koji ne vjeruju!
Kala gonɗo gaño Alla e malaykaaɓe Makko e nulaaɓe Makko e Jibriil e Miika'il Alla dey ko gaño heeferɓe ɓee.
ვინც არის ალლაჰის მტერი, და მისი ანგელოზების, და მისი მოციქულების, და ასევე ჯიბრილისა და მიიქაილის — [ვინც მტრად მიიჩნევს ჩამოთვლილთაგან თუნდაც ერთს, იგი ურწმუნო ხდება], — მაშინ იცოდეს, რომ ალლაჰიც არის ურწმუნოთა მტერი!
Wer ein Feind von Allah, Seinen Engeln, Seinen Gesandten und Jibril und Mikal ist, so ist Allah gewiss ein Feind der Ungläubigen.
Όποιος είναι εχθρός του Αλλάχ, των αγγέλων Του, των Αγγελιαφόρων Του, του Τζιμπρίλ (Γαβριήλ) και του Μικάλ (Μιχαήλ) – τότε, πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι εχθρός των άπιστων.
जो कोई अल्लाह और उसके फ़रिश्तों और उसके रसूलों और जिबरील तथा मीकाल का शत्रु हो, तो निःसंदेह अल्लाह सब काफ़िरों का शत्रु है।[47]
Chi è nemico di Allāh, degli angeli, dei Suoi Messaggeri, di Jibrīl e di Michele ﴿جِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَالَ﴾, in verità Allāh è nemico dei miscredenti”.
98. „Kas bebūtų priešas Allahui, Jo angelams, Jo Pasiuntiniams, Džibriliui (Gabrieliui) ir Mikaylui (Mikaeliui), tada iš tiesų Allhas yra priešas netikintiesiems.“
Namni Rabbiif, malaa’ikootaaf, ergamtootaaf, Jibriiliifi Miikaa’iiliif diina ta’e (kaafira). Dhugumatti Rabbiin kaafirootaaf diina.
Если кто является врагом Аллаху, Его ангелам, Его посланникам, Джибрилу и Микалу, — то, воистину, Аллах — враг отвергших веру».
Ко је непријатељ Аллаху, Његовим анђелима и Његовим посланицима и анђелу Гаврилу и анђелу Михаилу - па, Аллах је, заиста, непријатељ онима који не верују!
Aliyekuwa adui wa Mwenyezi Mungu na Malaika wake na Mitume wake na Jibril na Mikail, basi hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni adui wa makafiri.
Den som är en fiende till Gud, till hans änglar och sändebud, och till Gabriel och Mikael, [ska veta] att Gud säkerligen är fiende till de otrogna.”
Her kim Allah’a, meleklerine, rasûllerine, Cebrâil’e ve Mîkâil’e düşman olursa, şüphesiz Allah da o kâfirlerin düşmanıdır.
جو شخص اللہ کا اور اس کے فرشتوں اور اس کے رسولوں اور جبرائیل اور میکائیل کا دشمن ہو، ایسے کافروں کا دشمن خود اللہ 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.

You will find them, of all mankind, the most eager for life, even more than the polytheists. Every one of them wishes he could live a thousand years; but to be granted a long life will not nudge him from the punishment. God is Seeing of what they do.
And thou wilt find them greediest of mankind for life and (greedier) than the idolaters. (Each) one of them would like to be allowed to live a thousand years. And to live (a thousand years) would be no means remove him from the doom. Allah is Seer of what they do
Why, thou wilt find them the greediest of men for life; and of those who associate others with God one would fain live for a thousand years,- but he will not be reprieved from punishment by being let live, for God seeth what they do
And thou wilt surely find them of all men most covetous of life, beyond even the polytheists. To be kept alive a thousand years might one of them desire: but that he may be preserved alive, shall no one reprieve himself from the punishment! And God seeth what they do
and thou shalt surely find them of all men the most covetous of life, even more than the idolaters: One of them would desire his life to be prolonged a thousand years, but none shall reprieve himself from punishment, that his life may be prolonged: God seeth that which they do

Say, "Whoever is hostile to Gabriel-it is he who revealed it to your heart by God's leave, confirming what preceded it, and guidance and good news for the believers."
Say (O Muhammad, to mankind): Who is an enemy to Gabriel! For he it is who hath revealed (this Scripture) to thy heart by Allah's leave, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, and a guidance and glad tidings to believers
Say, 'Who is an enemy to Gabriel?' for he hath revealed to thy heart, with God's permission, confirmation of what had been before, and a guidance and glad tidings to believers

Is it not that whenever they make a covenant, some of them toss it aside? In fact, most of them do not believe.
Is it ever so that when they make a covenant a party of them set it aside? The truth is, most of them believe not
Or every time they make a covenant, will a part of them repudiate it? Nay, most of them do not believe
Oft as they have formed an engagement with thee, will some of them set it aside? But most of them believe not
Whenever they make a covenant, will some of them reject it? Yea the greater part of them do not believe

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 — 0.53 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.
