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.
Whoever looks forward to the meeting with God-the appointed time of God is coming. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

Kushdo që shpreson takimin me Allahun, le ta dijë se afati i Allahut do të vijë me siguri. Ai është Gjithëdëgjuesi, i Gjithëdijshmi.
যে ব্যক্তি (কিয়ামতের দিন) আল্লাহর সাক্ষাৎ কামনা করে (সে জেনে রাখুক) নিশ্চয় আল্লাহর নির্ধারিত সময় আসবেই। আর তিনি সর্বশ্রোতা, সর্বজ্ঞানী।
A ko se nada susretu s Allahom, pa od Allaha određeno vrijeme će doći, a On je Svečujući i Sveznajući!
A tko se nada susretu s Allahom, pa od Allaha određeno vrijeme će doći, a On je Svečujući i Sveznajući!
Kala tawɗo homo njortii kawroygol e Alla, ko pellet, lajal Alla ngal, ko hewtaygal. Ko Kaŋko woni Nanoowo, nganduɗo on.
ვინც იმედოვნებს ალლაჰთან შეხვედრას — მაშ, ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰის მიერ დადგენილი ვადა უეჭველად დადგება. და იგი ყოვლისმსმენი, ყოვლისმცოდნეა.
Wer die Begegnung mit Allah erhofft, so wird die Frist Allahs sicher kommen. Und Er ist der Allhörende und der Allwissende.
Όποιος ελπίζει για τη συνάντηση του Αλλάχ (στη Μέλλουσα Ζωή και ελπίζει για την ανταμοιβή Του), πράγματι, η Ώρα (για την ανάσταση) που έχει καθορίσει ο Αλλάχ θα έρθει. Πράγματι, Αυτός είναι ο Ασ-Σαμεί‘ (Αυτός που ακούει τα πάντα), ο Αλ-‘Αλείμ (ο Παντογνώστης).
जो अल्लाह से मिलने[2] की आशा रखता हो, तो निःसंदेह अल्लाह का नियत समय[3] अवश्य आने वाला है। और वही सब कुछ सुनने वाला, सब कुछ जानने[4] वाला है।
Chi aspetta d’incontrare Allāh, (sappia che) in verità il termine fissato da Allāh è imminente. E Lui è l’Ascoltatore, il Sapiente.
5. Kas tikisi Susitikimo su Allahu, tada Allaho Terminas tikrai ateina ir Jis yra Visa Girdintis, Visa Žinantis.
Namni walidhufiinsa Allaah kajeele (haa qophaawuu), dhugumatti beellamni Rabbii dhufaadha. Inni dhagayaa, beekaadhas.
Тот, кто надеется на встречу с Аллахом, [пусть знает:] воистину, срок Аллаха непременно наступит. И Он — Слышащий, Знающий.
Онај ко се нада сусрету с Аллахом – па доћи ће, сигурно, Дан обећани. А Он све чује и све зна!
Mwenye kutaraji kukutana na Mwenyezi Mungu, basi hakika miadi ya Mwenyezi Mungu itafika bila ya shaka. Naye ni Mwenye kusikia, Mwenye kujua zaidi.
Den som längtar efter mötet med Gud [ska veta] att den stund han fastställt är nära. Han hör allt, vet allt.
Kim Allah’a kavuşmayı umarsa, şüphesiz Allah’ın belirlediği süre gelecektir. O her şeyi işitendir, bilendir.
جسے اللہ کی ملاقات کی امید ہو پس اللہ کا ٹھہرایا ہوا وقت یقیناً آنے واﻻ ہے[1] ، وه سب کچھ سننے واﻻ، سب کچھ جاننے واﻻ ہے.[2]
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.

Or do those who commit sins think they can fool Us? Terrible is their opinion!

Whoever strives, strives only for himself. God is Independent of the beings.
And whosoever striveth, striveth only for himself, for lo! Allah is altogether Independent of (His) creatures
And he who fights strenuously, fights strenuously only for his own soul; verily, God is independent of the worlds
Whoso maketh efforts for the faith, maketh them for his own good only. Verily God is rich enough to dispense with all creatures
Whoever striveth to promote the true religion, striveth for the advantage of his own soul; for God needeth not any of his creatures

Those who believe and do righteous deeds-We will remit their sins, and We will reward them according to the best of what they used to do.
And as for those who believe and do good works, We shall remit from them their evil deeds and shall repay them the best that they did
Those who believe and do right, we will surely cover for them, their offences; and we will surely reward them with better than that which they have done

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 — 0.76 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.
