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.
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.
Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron, with Our signs and a clear authority.

Pastaj dërguam Musain dhe vëllanë e tij, Harunin, me shenjat (mrekullitë) Tona dhe me dëshmi të qartë
এরপর আমি মূসা ও তার ভাই হারূনকে আমার নিদর্শনাবলি ও সুস্পষ্ট প্রমাণসহ প্রেরণ করেছি।(৮)
Poslije smo poslali Musaa i brata mu Haruna sa znamenjima Našim i dokazom očiglednim,
Poslije smo poslali Mojsija i brata mu Arona sa znamenjima Našim i dokazom očiglednim,
Refti Min Nuli Muusaa e musiɗɗo makko on Haaruuna wond'ude e aayeeje amen ɗen e hujja ɓannguɗo.
შემდეგ ჩვენ მოვავლინეთ [შუამავალი] მუსა და მისი ძმა [შუამავალი] ჰარუნი ჩვენი სასწაულებით და მკაფიო მტკიცებულებით
Hierauf sandten Wir Musa und seinen Bruder Harun mit Unseren Zeichen und einer deutlichen Ermächtigung
Έπειτα, στείλαμε τον Μωυσή και τον αδελφό του, τον Ααρών, με τα Σημάδια Μας και μία ξεκάθαρη απόδειξη,
फिर हमने मूसा तथा उसके भाई हारून को अपनी निशानियों तथा स्पष्ट तर्क के साथ भेजा।
Poi inviammo Mūsā e suo fratello Hārūn coi nostri Segni e chiara autorità
45. Tada Mes siuntėme Mūsą (Mozę) ir jo brolį Harūną (Aroną) su Mūsų Ajat (įrodymais, įkalčiais, eilutėmis, pamokomis, ženklais, apreiškimais ir t.t.) ir aiškiais įgaliojimais.
Sana booda Muusaafi obboleessa isaa Haaruuniin raajiiwwan keenyaafi ragaa ifa galaan ergine.
Затем Мы послали Мусу и его брата Харуна с Нашими знамениями и явным доводом
После смо послали Мојсија и брата му Арона са Нашим речима и знацима и очигледним доказом,
Kisha tukamtuma Musa na kakaye, Harun, pamoja na ishara zetu na hoja zilizo wazi.
Därefter sände vi Mose och hans bror Aron med våra tecken och ett klart belägg [för deras profetskap]
Sonra Mûsâ'yı ve kardeşi Hârûn'u ayetlerimizle ve apaçık delillerle gönderdik.
پھر ہم نے موسیٰ (علیہ السلام) کو اور ان کے بھائی ہارون (علیہ السلام) کو اپنی آیتوں اور کھلی دلیل[1] کے ساتھ بھیجا.
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.

No nation can advance its time, nor can they postpone it.
No nation can outstrip its term, nor yet postpone it
No nation can anticipate its appointed time, nor keep it back
Neither too soon, nor too late, shall a people reach its appointed time
No nation shall be punished before their determined time; neither shall they be respited after

Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time a messenger came to his community, they called him a liar. So We made them follow one another, and made them history. So away with a people who do not believe.
Then We sent our messengers one after another. Whenever its messenger came unto a nation they denied him; so We caused them to follow one another (to disaster) and We made them bywords. A far removal for folk who believe not
Then we sent our apostles one after another. Whenever its apostle came to any nation they called him a liar; and we made some to follow others; and we made them legends; away then with a people who do not believe
Then sent we our apostles one after another. Oft as their apostle presented himself to a nation, they treated him as a liar; and we caused one nation to follow another; and we made them the burden of a tale. Away then with the people who believe not
Afterwards We sent our apostles, one after another. So often as their apostle came unto any nation, they charged him with imposture: And We caused them successively to follow one another to destruction; and We made them only subjects of traditional stories. Away therefore with the unbelieving nations

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 — 0.30 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.
