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.
On that Day, intercession will not avail, except for him permitted by the Merciful, and whose words He has approved.

Atë Ditë nuk do të bëjë dobi ndërmjetësimi, përveç ndërmjetësimit të atij që i jep leje i Gjithëmëshirshmi dhe e pranon fjalën e tij.
সেদিন পরম করুণাময় যাকে অনুমতি দিবেন এবং যার কথায় তিনি সন্তুষ্ট হবেন, তার সুপারিশ ছাড়া কারো সুপারিশ কোনো কাজে আসবে না।
Taj dan neće biti od koristi zauzimanje osim onoga kome Svemilosni dopusti i čijim riječima je zadovoljan.

იმ დღეს [განკითხვის დღეს] არ წაადგება შუამდგომლობა არავის, თუ არა იმას, ვისაც ნებას მისცემს მოწყალე და ვისი სიტყვითაც კმაყოფილი იქნება.
An jenem Tag nützt die Fürsprache nicht, außer durch denjenigen, dem es der Allerbarmer erlaubt und mit dessen Worten Er zufrieden ist.
Εκείνη την Ημέρα, καμία διαμεσολάβηση δε θα ωφελήσει, εκτός εκείνου που θα του επιτρέψει ο Αρ-Ραχμάν (Παντελεήμονας) (να διαμεσολαβήσει) και να δεχτεί τα λόγια του.
उस दिन सिफ़ारिश लाभ नहीं देगी, परंतु जिसके लिए रहमान अनुज्ञा दे और जिसके लिए वह बात करना पसंद करे।
Quel giorno non servirà l’intercessione, tranne di chi avrà il permesso del Compassionevole, che ne accetterà le invocazioni.
109. Tą Dieną joks užtarimas nepadės, išskyrus tą, kuriam Maloningiausiasis (Allahas) suteikė leidimą ir kurio žodis priimtinas Jam.
Guyyaa san manguddummaan homaa hin fayyaddu; nama Rahmaan isaaf hayyameefi jecha isaas irraa jaallateef malee.
В тот день заступничество не принесёт пользы, кроме того, кому позволит Всемилостивый и чьи слова Он одобрит.
Тог дана ником неће да буде од користи заузимање осим ономе коме Свемилосни допусти да се за неког заузме.
Siku hiyo uombezi hautafaa kitu, ila kwa atakayeruhusiwa na Arrahmani (Mwingi wa rehema) na akaridhia na maneno yake.
Den dagen ska ingen förbön vara till hjälp, förutom genom den som den Nåderike ger tillstånd och vars tal han är nöjd med.
O gün, Rahman’ın izin verdiği ve sözünden razı olduğu kimselerden başkasına şefaat fayda vermez.
اس دن سفارش کچھ کام نہیں آئے گی مگر جسے رحمنٰ حکم دے اور اس کی بات کو پسند فرمائے.[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.

On that Day, they will follow the caller, without any deviation. Voices will be hushed before the Merciful, and you will hear nothing but murmur.
On that day they follow the summoner who deceiveth not, and voices are hushed for the Beneficent, and thou hearest but a faint murmur
On that day they shall follow the caller in whom is no crookedness; and the voices shall be hushed before the Merciful, and thou shalt hear naught but a shuffling
On that day shall men follow their summoner - he marcheth straight on: and low shall be their voices before the God of Mercy, nor shalt thou hear aught but the light footfall
On that day mankind shall follow the angel who will call them to judgment, none shall have power to turn aside from him; and their voices shall be low before the Merciful, neither shalt thou hear any more than the hollow sound of their feet

And humble shall be their faces before Him that Liveth, the Self-subsisting: and undone he, who shall bear the burden of iniquity

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 — 0.69 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.
