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.

Thuaj: "Të gjithë janë duke pritur, prandaj pritni, se patjetër do ta kuptoni se cilët janë ithtarët e rrugës së drejtë dhe të udhëzuarit!"
(হে রাসূল! তুমি এ মিথ্যারোপকারীদেরকে) বলো: ‘প্রত্যেকেই (আল্লাহর ফায়সালার জন্য) প্রতীক্ষা করছে। অতএব তোমরাও প্রতীক্ষায় থাকো। শীঘ্রই তোমরা জানতে পারবে কারা সঠিক পথের ওপর রয়েছে এবং কারা হিদায়াতপ্রাপ্ত।’

უთხარი [ო, შუამავალო]: «ყველა ელოდება და თქვენც დაელოდეთ! მალე შეიტყობთ, ვინ იმყოფებოდა მართალ გზაზე და ვინ მიიღო ჭეშმარიტება სწორ ხელმძღვანელობად».
Sag: „Jeder wartet ab; so wartet auch (ihr) ab. Dann werdet ihr (noch) erfahren, wer die Leute des ebenen Weges sind und wer rechtgeleitet ist.“
Πες (ω, Προφήτη): «Ο καθένας (από εμάς και εσάς) περιμένει (αυτά που θα κάνει ο Αλλάχ)! Περιμένετε λοιπόν, πράγματι θα μάθετε ποιοι βρίσκονται στον ίσιο δρόμο, και ποιοι είναι οι καθοδηγημένοι (εμείς ή εσείς)!»
आप कह दें : हर एक प्रतीक्षारत है। अतः तुम (भी) प्रतीक्षा करो। फिर शीघ्र ही तुम जान लोगे कि सीधे मार्ग वाले कौन हैं और कौन है जिसे मार्गदर्शन प्राप्त हुआ।
Di’: «Tutti aspettano, aspettate anche voi: presto saprete chi è in verità sulla retta via e chi è stato guidato!»
135. Sakyk (Muchammedai ﷺ): „Kiekvienas (tikintysis ir netikintysis) laukia, taigi ir jūs laukite. Ir jūs sužinosite, kas yra Tiesiame ir Lygiame Kelyje (t. y. Allaho islamiškojo monoteizmo religijoje) ir kas yra tie, kurie leidosi teisingai vedami (Tiesiame Kelyje).

Скажи: «Каждый ожидает, так ожидайте же и вы. Вы ещё узнаете, кто обладатели прямого пути и кто последовал верным путём!»

Säg: "Alla väntar vi [på vad som ska ske], så vänta ni också! Snart ska ni få veta vem som följde den rätta vägen och var sant vägledd."
De ki: "Herkes beklemektedir. Siz de bekleyedurun. Yakında kimin doğru yolun sahipleri ve kimin doğru yolu bulmuş olduğunu göreceksiniz."
کہہ دیجئے! ہر ایک انجام کا منتظر[1] ہے پس تم بھی انتظار میں رہو۔ عنقريب قطعاً جان لو گے کہ راه راست والے کون ہیں اور کون راه یافتہ ہیں.[2]
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.

And they say, "Why does he not bring us a miracle from his Lord?" Were they not given enough miracles in the former scriptures?
And they say: If only he would bring us a miracle from his Lord! Hath there not come unto them the proof of what is in the former scriptures
They say, 'Unless he bring us a sign from his Lord - What! has there not come to them the manifest sign of what was in the pages of yore
But they say, "If he come not to us with a sign from his Lord . . .!" But have not clear proofs for the Koran come to them, in what is in the Books of old
The unbelievers say, unless he come unto us with a sign from his Lord, we will not believe on him. Hath not a plain declaration come unto them, of that which is contained in the former volumes of scripture, by the revelation of the Koran
وَلَوْ أَنَّآ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُم بِعَذَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَٰتِكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخْزَىٰ

Had We destroyed them with a punishment before him, they would have said, "Our Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your revelations before we were humiliated and disgraced."
And if we had destroyed them with some punishment before it, they would assuredly have said: Our Lord! If only Thou hadst sent unto us a messenger, so that we might have followed Thy revelations before we were (thus) humbled and disgraced
But had we destroyed them with torment before it, they would have said, 'Unless Thou hadst sent to us an apostle, that we might follow Thy signs before we were abased and put to shame
And had We destroyed them by a chastisement before its time, they would surely have said, "O our Lord! How could we believe if thou didst not send unto us an Apostle that we might follow thy signs ere that we were humbled and disgraced
If we had destroyed them by a judgment before the same had been revealed, they would have said, at the resurrection, O Lord, how could we believe since thou didst not send unto us an apostle, that we might follow thy signs, before we were humbled and covered with shame

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 — 0.67 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.
