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.
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.
Like the behavior of Pharaoh's people and those before them. They rejected Our signs, so God seized them for their sins. God is Strict in retribution.

sikurse puna e njerëzve të Faraonit dhe e atyre që ishin para tyre, të cilët i mohuan ajetet (shpalljet dhe shenjat) Tona. Allahu i shkatërroi për gjynahet që bënë. Allahu është i rreptë në ndëshkim.

Kao što su to i faraonovi ljudi, te oni prije njih koji su znakove naše lažnim smatrali, pa ih je Allah zbog grijeha njihovih kaznio. A Allah žestoko kažnjava.

(მათი ურწმუნოება) ჰგავს იმას, რაც მოხდა ფირაუნის ხალხთან, და იმასაც, რაც მათზე ადრე მცხოვრებ თემებს დაემართათ. მათ უარყვეს ჩვენი აიათები, და შეიპყრო (დასაჯა) ისინი ალლაჰმა მათი ცოდვებისთვის. და ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი მკაცრია სასჯელში.
Es ist wie (mit der Angelegenheit) der Leute Fir'auns und derjenigen vor ihnen: Sie erklärten Unsere Zeichen für Lüge, und da ergriff sie Allah für ihre Sünden. Und Allah ist streng im Bestrafen.
(Η υπόθεση αυτών των άπιστων είναι) όπως η υπόθεση του λαού του Φαραώ και εκείνων που ήταν πριν απ' αυτούς. Διέψευσαν τα Εδάφια (και τα σημάδιά) Μας, και έτσι, ο Αλλάχ τούς τιμώρησε για τις αμαρτίες τους. Και ο Αλλάχ είναι Αυστηρός στην τιμωρία.
(इनका हाल) फ़िरऔनियों तथा उन लोगों के हाल की तरह है जो उनसे पहले थे। उन्होंने हमारी आयतों (निशानियों) को झुठलाया, तो अल्लाह ने उन्हें उनके गुनाहों के कारण पकड़ लिया और अल्लाह बहुत सख़्त अज़ाब वाला है।
come il popolo del Faraone e quelli che l’hanno preceduto: hanno smentito i Nostri Segni, così Allāh li perseguì a causa dei loro peccati, e Allāh è severo nel punire.
11. (Jų) elgesys kaip Firauno (Faraono) žmonių arba tų, iki jų. Jie paneigė Mūsų Ajat (įrodymus, įkalčius, eilutes, pamokas, ženklus, apreiškimus ir t. t.). Taigi Allahas nustvėrė (sunaikino) juos už jų nuodėmes. Ir Allahas yra Rūstus bausdamas.
(Haalli isaanii) akka haala warra fir’awnaafi warra isaan dura turaniiti. Keeyyattoota keenya kijibsiisan. Rabbiin badiilee isaanitiin isaan qabe. Rabbiin abbaa adabbii cimaati.
[Их участь] подобна участи рода Фараона и тех, которые были до них: они сочли ложью Наши знамения, и Аллах схватил их за их грехи. Аллах — суров в наказании.
Као што су то и фараонови људи, и они пре њих који су знакове наше лажним сматрали, па их је Аллах због греха њихових казнио. А Аллах жестоко кажњава.
Kama ada ya watu wa Firauni na wale waliokuwa kabla yao. Walikadhibisha Ishara zetu, basi Mwenyezi Mungu akawachukua kwa dhambi zao; na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mkali wa kuadhibu.
Så blev det för Faraos folk och de som levde före dem; de påstod att våra budskap var lögn och Gud straffade dem för deras synder. Gud straffar med stränghet.
Tıpkı Firavun Hanedanı ve onlardan öncekilerin durumu gibi ayetlerimizi yalanladılar da Allah da onları günahları sebebiyle cezalandırdı. Allah, cezası çok çetin olandır.
جیسا آل فرعون کاحال ہوا، اور ان کا جو ان سے پہلے تھے، انہوں نے ہماری آیتوں کوجھٹلایا، پھر اللہ تعالیٰ نے بھی انہیں ان کے گناہوں پر پکڑ لیا، اور اللہ تعالیٰ سخت عذاب واﻻ ہے۔
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.

There was a sign for you in the two parties that met. One party fighting in the way of God, and the other was disbelieving. They saw them with their own eyes twice their number. But God supports with His help whomever He wills. In that is a lesson for those with insight.

Ye have had a sign in the two parties who met; one party fighting in the way of God, the other misbelieving; these saw twice the same number as themselves to the eye-sight, for God aids with His help those whom He pleases.' Verily, in that is a lesson for those who have perception
Ye have already had a sign in the meeting of the two hosts. The one host fought in the cause of God, and the other was infidel. To their own eyesight, the infidels saw you twice as many as themselves: And God aided with his succour whom He would: And in this truly was a lesson for men endued with discernment
Ye have already had a miracle shewn you in two armies which attacked each other: One army fought for God's true religion, but the other were infidels; they saw the faithful twice as many as themselves in their eye-sight; for God strengtheneth with his help whom he pleaseth.

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 — 0.59 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.
