যিনি আসমানসমূহ, জমিন এবং এতদুভয়ের মধ্যবর্তী সবকিছু ছয় দিনে সৃষ্টি করেছেন। তারপর তিনি আরশে ওঠেছেন। তিনিই ‘রহমান’ পরম করুণাময়। সুতরাং (হে রাসূল!) তাঁর সম্পর্কে যে সম্যক অবহিত, তুমি তাকেই জিজ্ঞাসা করো।
Onaj Koji je za šest dana nebesa i Zemlju i ono što je među njima stvorio, a onda se nad Aršom uzvisio. On je Svemilosni, i upitaj o Njemu onoga koji dobro zna.

რომელმაც გააჩინა ცანი, ქვეყანა და რაც მათ შორისაა, ექვს დღეში. მერე კი ამაღლდა ტახტზე ['არშზე]. იგი მოწყალეა. მაშ, ჰკითხე [მოციქულო] მის შესახებ მცოდნეს [ალლაჰს].
Der die Himmel und die Erde und was dazwischen ist, in sechs Tagen erschuf und Sich hierauf über den Thron erhob, (Er ist) der Allerbarmer. So frag einen kenntnisreichen (über Ihn).
Ο Οποίος δημιούργησε τους ουρανούς και τη γη και ό,τι υπάρχει ανάμεσά τους σε έξι Ημέρες, έπειτα υψώθηκε πάνω από τον Θρόνο (με τρόπο που ταιριάζει στην Μεγαλοπρέπειά Του). Αρ-Ραχμάν (ο Παντελεήμονας)! Ρώτα λοιπόν (ω, Προφήτη) Αυτόν που έχει πλήρη γνώση των πάντων, γι' Αυτόν.
जिसने आकाशों तथा धरती को और जो कुछ उनके बीच है, छह दिनों में पैदा किया, फिर अर्श (सिंहासन) पर बुलंद हुआ। (वह) बहुत दयालु है। अतः उसके बारे में किसी पूर्ण जानकार से पूछिए।
Lui è Colui che creò i cieli e la terra, e ciò che c’è di mezzo in sei giorni, poi si innalzò sul Trono; chiedi del Compassionevole a chi è informato.

Prašyk Jo (Pranaše Muchammedai ﷺ, dėl Jo Savybių – Jo pakilimo virš Savo Sosto, Jo kūrinių ir t. t.), nes Jis yra Al-Khabir (Visa Žinantis apie viską, t. y. Allahas).

Тот, Кто сотворил небеса, и землю, и то, что между ними, за шесть дней, затем вознёсся на Трон, — Всемилостивый. Так спроси же о Нём сведущего.
Онај Који је створио небеса и Земљу и оно што је међу њима у шест временских раздобља, а онда се узвисио над Престољем. Он је Свемилосни, и упитај о Њему онога који добро зна.
Ambaye aliziumba mbingu na ardhi, na vilivyo kati yake kwa siku sita. Kisha akainuka akawa juu ya Kiti cha Enzi. Mwingi wa rehema (Arrahman)! Uliza habari zake kwa amjuaye.[1]
Han är den som skapade himlarna och jorden och allt däremellan på sex dagar. Därpå höjde han sig över tronen, han, den Nåderike! Rikta dina frågor om honom till den som är väl medveten om allt.
Gökleri yeri ve bunların arasındakileri altı günde yaratan, sonra arşa istivâ eden Rahman’dır. O'nu her şeyden haberi olan (Allah'a) sor.

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.

And when it is said to them, "Bow down to the Merciful," they say, "And what is the Merciful? Are we to bow down to whatever you command us?" And it increases their aversion.
And when it is said unto them: Prostrate to the Beneficent! they say: And what is the Beneficent? Are we to prostrate to whatever thou (Muhammad) biddest us? And it increaseth aversion in them
And when it is said, ' Adore ye the Merciful!' they say, 'What is the Merciful? shall we adore what thou dost order us?' and it only increases their aversion
But when it is said to them, "Bow down before the God of Mercy," they say, "Who is the God of Mercy? Shall we bow down to what thou biddest?" And they fly from thee the more
When it is said unto the unbelievers, adore the Merciful; they reply, and who is the Merciful? Shall we adore that which thou commandest us? And this precept causeth them to fly the faster from the faith

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 — 0.45 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.
