The translators word this verse differently
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.
They will be blinded by the facts on that Day, and they will not question each other.

Atë Ditë, provat do të fshihen prej syve e as do të pyesin njëri-tjetrin.
সেদিন তাদের কাছে (সব) সংবাদ অন্ধকারাচ্ছন্ন হয়ে যাবে; ফলে তারা পরস্পরকে জিজ্ঞাসাবাদও করতে পারবে না।
tog Dana oni neće znati šta će odgovoriti, pa ni jedan drugog neće ništa pitati.
tog Dana oni neće znati što će odgovoriti, pa ni jedan drugog neće ništa pitati.
Lamitorɗi ɗin mbumiɗana ɓe nden ñande, ɓe lamndondirtaa.
და დაიბნელება მათ წინაშე [დაიფარება მათთვის] ყოველგვარი ამბავი [გამართლება და არგუმენტები] იმ დღეს, და ისინი აღარ დაეკითხებიან ერთმანეთს.
So werden ihren Blicken an jenem Tag die (Entschuldigungs)belege entzogen sein, und sie fragen sich dann nicht mehr gegenseitig.
Έτσι, θα εξαφανιστούν όλες οι δικαιολογίες απ' εκείνους (τους ειδωλολάτρες) εκείνη την Ημέρα (και δε θα ξέρουν τι να πουν), και έτσι, δε θα ρωτήσουν ο ένας τον άλλον (επειδή όλοι τους θα είναι ίσοι στην άγνοια)!
तो उस दिन उनसे सब बातें लुप्त हो जाएँगी, इसलिए वे एक-दूसरे से (भी) नहीं पूछेंगे।
Quel giorno si confonderanno loro le idee, per cui non si interrogheranno a vicenda.
66. Tada žinios apie gerą atsakymą aptemdys juos tą dieną, ir jie nesugebės vienas kito paklausti.
Guyyaa san oduuleen isaan jalaa dhokatti, Isaan walis hin gaafatanu.
И станут скрыты от них вести в тот День, и они не будут расспрашивать друг друга.
Тог Дана они неће знати шта да одговоре, па ни један другог неће ништа питати.
Basi zitawapotea habari siku hiyo, nao hawataulizana.
Alla deras ursäkter kommer att vara som bortblåsta den dagen, och de kommer inte att kunna rådfråga varandra.
O gün (onları azaptan kurtaracak) haberler/mazeretler onlara kapanacaktır. Birbirlerine bir şey de soramayacaklar.
پھر تو اس دن ان کی تمام دلیلیں گم ہو جائیں گی اور ایک دوسرے سے سوال تک نہ کریں گے.[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.

And it will be said, "Call on your partners." And they will call on them, but they will not respond to them. And they will see the suffering. If only they were guided.
And it will be said: Cry unto your (so-called) partners (of Allah). And they will cry unto them, and they will give no answer unto them, and they will see the Doom. Ah, if they had but been guided
And it will be said, 'Call upon your partners;' and they will call upon them, but they will not answer them, and they shall see the torment; would that they had been guided
And it shall be said, "Call now on those whom ye made God's companions:" and they shall call on them, but they will not answer them. And they shall see the punishment, and wish that they had been guided aright
And it shall be said unto the idolaters, call now upon those whom ye associated with God: And they shall call upon them, but they shall not answer them; and they shall see the punishment prepared for them, and shall wish that they had submitted to be directed

The translators word this verse differently
But he who repents, and believes, and does righteous deeds, may well be among the winners.
But as for him who shall repent and believe and do right, he haply may be one of the successful
But, as for him who turns again and believes and does right, it may be that he will be among the prosperous
Yet as to him who shall turn to God and believe and do the thing that is right, it may come to pass that he shall be among the happy
Howbeit whoso shall repent and believe, and shall do that which is right, may expect to be happy

The translators word this verse differently
Your Lord creates whatever He wills, and He chooses. The choice is not theirs. Glory be to God, and exalted be He above the associations they make.
Thy Lord bringeth to pass what He willeth and chooseth. They have never any choice. Glorified be Allah and Exalted above all that they associate (with Him)
For thy Lord creates what He pleases and chooses; they have not the choice! Celebrated be the praise of God! and exalted be He above what they associate with Him
And thy Lord createth what he will and hath a free choice. But they, the false gods, have no power to choose. Glory be to God! and high let him be exalted above those whom they associate with him
Thy Lord createth what He pleaseth; and chooseth freely: But they have no free choice. Praise be unto God; and far be He removed from the idols which they associate with Him

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 — 0.68 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.
