Megjithatë, ka prej njerëzve që grinden rreth Allahut pa kurrfarë diturie, pa udhëzim dhe pa Libër të ndritur,
আর মানুষের মধ্যে কতক কোনো জ্ঞান ছাড়াই কোনো হিদায়াত ছাড়াই (আল্লাহর পক্ষ থেকে নাযিলকৃত) দীপ্তিমান কিতাব ছাড়াই আল্লাহ সম্পর্কে বিতর্ক করে ।
Ima ljudi koji se o Allahu prepiru bez ikakva znanja i bez ikakva nadahnuća i bez Knjige svjetilje,
Ima ljudi koji se o Allahu prepiru bez ikakva znanja i bez ikakva nadahnuća i bez Knjige svjetilje,
No e yimɓe ɓen on mo no weeñdaa e fii Alla ko aldaa e ganndal wonaa peewal wonaa deftere nurɗunde(jalbunde).
ადამიანებს შორის არის ისეთნიც [ურწმუნო], ვინც დავობს ალლაჰზე ყოველგვარი ცოდნის გარეშე, ყოველგვარი ხელმძღვანელობის გარეშე და ყოველგვარი გამანათლებელი წიგნის გარეშე [რომელშიც იქნებოდა ცხადი მტკიცებულებები].
Und unter den Menschen gibt es manch einen, der über Allah ohne Wissen streitet, (und) ohne Rechtleitung und ohne ein erleuchtendes Buch;
Ανάμεσα στους ανθρώπους υπάρχει εκείνος που αμφισβητεί τον Αλλάχ (ότι είναι ο Ένας Αληθινός Θεός που δεν έχει κανέναν εταίρο), χωρίς να έχει ούτε (σωστή) γνώση, ούτε (αληθινή) καθοδήγηση, ούτε ένα (ξεκάθαρο Θείο) Βιβλίο που να φωτίσει (τα επιχειρήματά του).
तथा लोगों में कोई वह है, जो अल्लाह के विषय में, बिना किसी ज्ञान, मार्गदर्शन और प्रकाशमान् किताब के झगड़ा करता है।
E tra gli uomini c’è chi disputa su Allāh – senza nessuna conoscenza, né Guida, né Libro illuminante,
8. Ir tarp žmonių yra tas, kuris ginčijasi dėl Allaho, neturėdamas žinių ar teisingo vedimo, ar Knygos, suteikiančios šviesą (iš Allaho).
Namoota irraa kan beekumsa malee (waa'ee) Rabbii keessatti falmutu jira. (akkasuma) qajeelfamaafi kitaaba (ergaa Rabbii) ibsu malee.
И среди людей есть такие, кто спорит об Аллахе без знания, без руководства и без озаряющего Писания,
Има људи који расправљају о Аллаху без икаквог знања, и без Упуте и без Књиге светиљке,
Na katika watu wapo wanaobishana juu ya Mwenyezi Mungu bila ya elimu, wala uongofu, wala Kitabu chenye nuru.
Bland människorna finns den som tvistar om Gud utan vare sig kunskap, vägledning eller en upplysande skrift.
İnsanlardan kimisi Allah hakkında bilgisiz, delilsiz ve aydınlatıcı bir kitabı olmaksızın tartışır durur.
بعض لوگ اللہ کے بارے میں بغیر علم کے اور بغیر ہدایت کے اور بغیر روشن کتاب کے جھگڑتے ہیں.
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.

That is because God is the truth, and because He gives life to the dead, and because He is Capable of everything.
That is because Allah, He is the Truth and because He quickeneth the dead, and because He is Able to do all things
That is because God, He is the truth, and because He quickens the dead, and because He is mighty over all
This, for that God is the Truth, and that it is He who quickeneth the dead, - and that He hath power over everything
This sheweth that God is the truth, and that He raiseth the dead to life, and that He is almighty

And because the Hour is coming-there is no doubt about it-and because God will resurrect those in the graves.
And because the Hour will come, there is no doubt thereof; and because Allah will raise those who are in the graves
and because the Hour is coming, there is no doubt therein, and because God raises up those who are in the tombs
And that "the Hour" will indeed come - there is no doubt of it - and that God will wake up to life those who are in the tombs
and that the hour of judgment will surely come, (there is no doubt thereof), and that God will raise again those who are in the graves

Turning aside in contempt, to lead away from the path of God. He will have humiliation in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection We will make him taste the agony of burning.
Turning away in pride to beguile (men) from the way of Allah. For him in this world is ignominy, and on the Day of Resurrection We make him taste the doom of burning

The translators word this verse differently
That is for what your hands have advanced, and because God is not unjust to the servants.
(And unto him it will be said): This is for that which thy two hands have sent before, and because Allah is no oppressor of His slaves
That is for what thy hands have done before, and for that God is not unjust unto His servants
This, for thy handywork of old! for God is not unjust to His servants
when it shall be said unto him, this thou sufferest because of that which thy hands have formerly committed; for God is not unjust towards mankind

In plain words — none yet for this verse
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 — 0.61 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.

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.
