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 the Day when We fold the heaven, like the folding of a book. Just as We began the first creation, We will repeat it-a promise binding on Us. We will act.

On that day We will roll up the heavens, as the angel al Sijil rolleth up the book wherein every man's actions are recorded. As We made the first creature out of nothing, so We will also reproduce it at the resurrection. This is a promise which it lieth on Us to fulfil: We will surely perform it

Ditën kur Ne do të palosim qiellin siç palosen fletët e librit. Ashtu siç e nisëm krijimin e parë, do ta përsërisim atë. Ky është premtimi Ynë. Ne, me të vërtetë, do ta bëjmë këtë.
সে দিন আমি আসমানসমূহকে গুটিয়ে নিব, যেভাবে গুটিয়ে রাখা হয় লিখিত দলিল পত্রাদি। যেভাবে আমি প্রথম সৃষ্টির সূচনা করেছিলাম, সেভাবেই পুনরায় সৃষ্টি করব। এটা আমার কৃত প্রতিশ্রুতি (যার বরখেলাফ হবে না)। নিশ্চয় আমি তা পালন করবই।
Na Dan kad smotamo nebesa kao što se smota list papira za pisanje, onako kako smo prvi put iz ništa stvorili, tako ćemo ponovo iz ništa stvoriti, to je obećanje Naše, Mi ćemo, doista, to učiniti.

An dem Tag, da Wir den Himmel zusammenfalten, wie die Schriftstücke (vom Schreiber) zusammengefaltet werden. Wie Wir eine erste Schöpfung am Anfang gemacht haben, wiederholen Wir sie; (das ist) ein für Uns bindendes Versprechen. Wahrlich, Wir werden es tun.
Την Ημέρα όπου θα τυλίξουμε τους ουρανούς, όπως τυλίγεται η περγαμηνή με ό,τι είναι γραμμένο μέσα. Και όπως αρχίσαμε την πρώτη δημιουργία, έτσι θα την επαναφέρουμε (στη ζωή). Είναι μια υπόσχεση από Εμάς, που οπωσδήποτε θα την εκπληρώσουμε.
जिस दिन हम आकाश को पंजिका के पन्नों को लपेटने की तरह लपेट[43] देंगे। जिस तरह हमने प्रथम सृष्टि का आरंभ किया, (उसी तरह) हम उसे लौटाएँगे।[44] यह हमारे ज़िम्मे वादा है। निश्चय हम इसे पूरा करने वाले हैं।
Il giorno in cui piegheremo il cielo, come fa lo scriba con la pergamena! Come iniziammo la prima creazione, la ripeteremo; promessa fatta da Noi: in verità siamo Noi a farlo!
104. Ir (atminkite) Dieną, kai Mes susuksime dangų kaip ritinėlį, susuktą knygoms. Kaip Mes pradėjome pirmąjį kūrimą, Mes pakartosime tai. (Tai yra) pažadas, duotas Mūsų. Iš tiesų, Mes tai padarysime.

В тот День Мы свернём небо, подобно тому, как сворачивают свитки с письменами. Как Мы начали первое творение, так Мы и воссоздадим его. Это обещание, обязательное для Нас. Воистину, Мы исполним это!
На Дан кад смотамо небеса као што се смота лист папира за писање, онако како смо први пут из ништа створили, тако ћемо поново из ништа да створимо, то је Наше обећање, Ми ћемо, заиста, то да учинимо.

Det är dagen vi rullar ihop himlen likt en bokrulle. Såsom vi påbörjade skapelsen första gången ska vi återskapa den. Detta är ett löfte vi bundit oss vid och vi kommer sannerligen att infria det.
Gökleri kitap sayfalarının katlandığı gibi katlayacağımız günü düşün. Başlangıçta ilk yaratmayı nasıl yaptıysak, -üzerimize aldığımız bir vaad olarak- onu yine yapacağız. Biz bunu muhakkak yapacağız.
جس دن ہم آسمان کو یوں لپیٹ لیں گے جیسے طومار میں اوراق لپیٹ دیئے جاتے ہیں[1] ، جیسے کہ ہم نے اول دفعہ پیدائش کی تھی اسی طرح دوباره کریں گے۔ یہ ہمارے ذمے وعده ہے اور ہم اسے ضرور کر کے (ہی) رہیں گے.
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.

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 — 0.68 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.
