Është Ai që i dërgon erërat si sihariqtarë para (zbritjes së) mëshirës së Tij. Dhe Ne lëshojmë nga qielli ujë të pastër,
আর তিনিই তাঁর রহমতের (বৃষ্টি নাযিল হওয়ার) প্রাক্কালে সুসংবাদস্বরূপ বায়ু প্রেরণ করেন এবং আমি আকাশ থেকে পবিত্র (বৃষ্টির) পানি বর্ষণ করি।
I On šalje vjetrove kao radosnu vijest, kao prethodnicu milosti Svoje; i Mi s neba čistu vodu spuštamo,

იგია [მხოლოდ] [ალლაჰი], რომელმაც წარმოგზავნა ქარი სამახარობლოდ თავისი წყალობისა. და გარდმოვავლინეთ ციდან სუფთა წყალი [წვიმა],
Und Er ist es, Der die Winde zuvor als Frohboten Seiner Barmherzigkeit voraussendet. Und Wir lassen vom Himmel reines Wasser herabkommen,
Είναι Αυτός που στέλνει τους ανέμους, ως χαρμόσυνα νέα πριν το έλεός Του (τη βροχή). Και στέλνουμε από τον ουρανό καθαρό νερό,
तथा वही है जिसने हवाओं को अपनी रहमत से पहले शुभ सूचना बनाकर भेजा। और हमने आसमान से पाक करने वाला पानी उतारा।
Ed è Lui che ha inviato i venti, come buon annuncio, a preannunciare la Sua misericordia. E abbiamo fatto cadere dal cielo acqua pura
48. Ir tai Jis, Kuris siunčia vėjus kaip gerų žinių pranašus, atvykstančius prieš Jo Gailestingumą (lietų). Ir Mes nuleidžiame tyrą vandenį iš dangaus.
Inni Isa rahmata isaa (rooba) dura qilleensa gammachiisaa godhee ergeedha. Samii irraa bishaan qulqulleessaa buusne.
И Он — Тот, Кто послал ветры благовестниками перед Своей милостью. И Мы ниспослали с небес чистую воду,
И Он је Тај Који шаље ветрове као радосну вест, као претходницу Своје Милости; и Ми са неба чисту воду спуштамо
Naye ndiye anayezituma pepo kuwa bishara njema kabla ya rehema yake, na tunayateremsha kutoka mbinguni maji safi.
Och det är han som sänder vindar som en föraning om sin nåd, och från skyn låter vi rent vatten falla,
Rahmetinin öncesinde rüzgarları bir müjdeci olarak gönderen de O'dur. Biz gökten tertemiz su indirdik.
اور وہی ہے جو باران رحمت سے پہلے خوش خبری دینے والی ہواؤں کو بھیجتا ہے اور ہم آسمان سے پاک پانی برساتے ہیں.[1]
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.

We have circulated it among them, that they may reflect, but most people persist in thanklessness.
And verily We have repeated it among them that they may remember, but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude
We have turned it in various ways amongst them that they may remember; though most men refuse aught but to misbelieve
And we distribute it among them on all sides, that they may reflect: but most men refuse to be aught but thankless
and We distribute the same among them at various times, that they may consider: But the greater part of men refuse to consider, only out of ingratitude

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 — 0.42 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.
