Mos lut tjetër zot krahas Allahut! S'ka zot që adhurohet me të drejtë përveç Tij. Çdo gjë do të shkatërrohet, përveç Fytyrës së Tij (përveç Tij). I Tiji është gjykimi dhe tek Ai do të ktheheni.
আল্লাহর সাথে অন্য কোনো ইলাহকে ডেকো না, তিনি ছাড়া কোন (সত্য) ইলাহ নেই। তাঁর সত্তা (চেহারা) ছাড়া সবকিছুই ধ্বংসশীল, বিধান তাঁরই এবং তাঁর কাছেই তোমাদেরকে ফিরিয়ে নেয়া হবে।

და ნუ შეევედრები [ნუ სცემ თაყვანს] ალლაჰთან ერთად სხვა ღვთაებას. არ არის ღვთაება [ვინც თაყვანისცემის ღირსია], გარდა მისი! ყველაფერი განადგურდება [გაქრება], გარდა მისი სახისა. მას ეკუთვნის განსჯა და მასთან დაბრუნდებით.
Und rufe neben Allah keinen anderen Angebeteten an. Es gibt keinen Anbetungswürdigen außer Ihm. Alles wird untergehen - außer Seinem Angesicht. Ihm gehört das Urteil, und zu Ihm werdet ihr zurückgebracht.
Μην επικαλείσαι εκτός από τον Αλλάχ κανέναν άλλο θεό. Δεν υπάρχει άλλος θεός που αξίζει να λατρεύεται παρά μόνον Αυτός. Τα πάντα θα χαθούν εκτός από το Πρόσωπό Του. Σ' Αυτόν ανήκει η Κρίση, και προς Αυτόν θα επιστρέψετε όλοι.
और आप अल्लाह के साथ किसी अन्य पूज्य को न पुकारें। उसके सिवा कोई सत्य पूज्य नहीं। सब कुछ नाश होने वाला है सिवाए उसके चेहरे के, उसी का हुक्म (चलता) है और उसी की ओर तुम लौटाए जाओगे।[30]
E non invocare con Allāh un’altra divinità; non c’è divinità all’infuori di Lui: tutto ha una fine, tranne il Suo Regno. A Lui appartiene il Comando e a Lui tornerete.
88. Ir nešaukti jokio kito ilah (dievo) šalia Allaho: La ilaha illa Huva (niekas kitas neturi teisės būti garbinamas tik Jis). Viskas išnyks, išskyrus Jo Veidą. Jam priklauso Sprendimas ir pas Jį jūs (visi) būsite sugrąžinti.

И не призывай наряду с Аллахом иное божество. Нет божества, кроме Него. Всё сущее погибнет, кроме Его Лика. Ему принадлежит решение, и к Нему вы будете возвращены.
И не моли, поред Аллаха, другог бога! Нема истинског бога осим Њега! Све ће, осим Њега, да пропадне! Њему припада суд и Њему ћете се вратити!
Wala usimwombe pamoja na Mwenyezi Mungu mungu mwinginewe. Hapana mungu isipokuwa Yeye. Kila kitu kitaangamia isipokuwa uso wake. Hukumu ni yake, na kwake mtarejeshwa.
Och anropa aldrig någon annan gud vid sidan av Gud; ingen är värd dyrkan utom han! Allt ska förgå utom hans ansikte. Domen är hans allena och till honom ska ni föras åter.
Sen Allah ile beraber başka bir ilâha ibadet etme. O’ndan başka hiçbir (hak) ilâh yoktur. O'nun yüzünden (zatından) başka her şey yok olacaktır. Hüküm O'nundur ve O'na döndürülürsünüz.
اللہ تعالیٰ کے ساتھ کسی اور معبود کو نہ پکارنا[1] بجز اللہ تعالیٰ کے کوئی اور معبود نہیں، ہر چیز فنا ہونے والی ہے مگر اسی کا منھ [2](اور ذات) ۔ اسی کے لیے فرمانروائی ہے[3] اور تم اسی کی طرف لوٹائے جاؤ گے.[4]
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.

The translators word this verse differently
You did not expect the Scripture to be transmitted to you, except as mercy from your Lord. Therefore, do not be a supporter of the disbelievers.
Thou hadst no hope that the Scripture would be inspired in thee; but it is a mercy from thy Lord, so never be a helper to the disbelievers
nor couldst thou hope that the Book would be thrown to thee, save as a mercy from thy Lord! be not then a backer up of those who misbelieve
Thou didst never expect that the Book would be given thee. Of thy Lord's mercy only hath it been sent down. Be not thou helpful then to the unbelievers
Thou didst not expect that the book of the Koran should be delivered unto thee: But thou hast received it through the mercy of thy Lord. Be not therefore assisting to the unbelievers
وَلَا يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أُنزِلَتْ إِلَيْكَ وَٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

And do not let them divert you from God's revelations after they have been revealed to you. And pray to your Lord, and never be of the polytheists.
And let them not divert thee from the revelations of Allah after they have been sent down unto thee; but call (mankind) unto thy Lord, and be not of those who ascribe partners (unto Him)
and let them not turn thee from the signs of God, after they have been sent down to thee; but call unto thy Lord and be not of the idolaters
Neither let them turn thee aside from the signs of God after they have been sent down to thee, but bid men to thy Lord; and be not among those who add gods to God
neither let them turn thee aside from the signs of God, after they have been sent down unto thee: And invite men unto thy Lord. And be not thou an idolater

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 — 0.56 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.
