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.
He is nothing but a man, making up lies about God. We have no faith in him."

Ai është vetëm një njeri që ka trilluar gënjeshtra për Allahun dhe ne nuk do t'i besojmë atij."
‘সে তো এমন এক ব্যক্তি যে (নিজেকে রাসূল হিসেবে দাবি করে) আল্লাহর ওপর মিথ্যা আরোপ করেছে। আর আমরা তাঁর প্রতি ঈমান আনয়নকারী নই।’
On je čovjek koji o Allahu iznosi laži, i mi mu ne vjerujemo.”
On je čovjek koji o Allahu iznosi laži, i mi mu ne vjerujemo.”
Kaŋko o wonaani si wonaa ko o gorko pekindiiɗo fenaande fawi e Alla, minen non, min mgnaami gooŋɗinatɓe mo.
ეს [ჰუდი] მხოლოდ ადამიანია, რომელმაც მოიფიქრა ალლაჰზე სიცრუე და ჩვენ მისი არ გვჯერა».
Er ist ja nur ein Mann, der gegen Allah eine Lüge ersonnen hat; und wir wollen ihm nicht glauben.“
Αυτός δεν είναι παρά ένας άνθρωπος που αποδίδει λόγια ψευδώς στον Αλλάχ, και δε θα πιστέψουμε ποτέ σ' αυτόν.»
यह तो बस एक व्यक्ति है, जिसने अल्लाह पर एक झूठ गढ़ लिया है और हम कदापि उसे मानने वाले नहीं हैं।
Lui non è altro che un uomo che ha inventato una menzogna su Allāh e noi non gli crediamo».
38. Jis tik žmogus, meluojantis apie Allahą, ir mes neketiname tikėti juo.“
Inni namicha Rabbi irratti soba odeessu malee waan biraa miti, Nuti isaaf amanoowwan hin taane.”
Он — не кто иной, как человек, который возводит навет на Аллаха, а мы вовсе не верим ему!»
Он је човек који о Аллаху износи лажи, и ми му не верујемо.“
Huyu si lolote isipokuwa ni mwanamume anayemzulia Mwenyezi Mungu uongo, wala sisi sio wa kumuamini.
Han är bara en som diktar ihop lögner om Gud, och vi kommer inte att tro på honom!”
Bu adam, sadece Allah hakkında yalan uyduran bir kimsedir; biz ona iman etmiyoruz.
یہ تو بس ایسا شخص ہے جس نے اللہ پر جھوٹ (بہتان) باندھ لیا ہے[1] ، ہم تو اس پر ایمان ﻻنے والے نہیں 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.

There is no life beyond our present life; we die, and we live, and we shall not be quickened again

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 — 0.63 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.
