Allahu dëshmon se askush nuk meriton të adhurohet përveç Tij, e edhe melekët dhe dijetarët (dëshmojnë) dhe se Ai është Mbajtësi i drejtësisë. S'ka të adhuruar me të drejtë përveç Tij. Ai është i Gjithëfuqishmi, i Urti.
আল্লাহ সাক্ষ্য দিচ্ছেন যে, তিনি ছাড়া কোনো (সত্য) ইলাহ নেই, আর ফিরিশতা ও জ্ঞানীগণও। আল্লাহ ন্যায় ও ইনসাফের ওপর প্রতিষ্ঠিত। তিনি ছাড়া কোনো (সত্য) ইলাহ নেই। তিনি মহা পরাক্রমশালী, মহা প্রজ্ঞাময়।
Allah svjedoči da nema istinskog boga osim Njega, a i meleki i učeni, postupajući pravedno. Nema boga osim Njega, Silnog i Mudrog.
Allah svjedoči da nema drugog boga osim Njega, a i anđeli i učeni, postupajući pravedno. Nema boga osim Njega, Silnog i Mudrog.

Allah bezeugt, dass es keinen Anbetungswürdigen gibt außer Ihm; und (ebenso bezeugen) die Engel und diejenigen, die Wissen besitzen; der Wahrer der Gerechtigkeit. Es gibt keinen Anbetungswürdigen außer Ihm, dem Allmächtigen und Allweisen.
Ο Αλλάχ μαρτυρά (μέσω των Εδαφίων και των σημαδιών Του στο σύμπαν) ότι δεν υπάρχει άλλος θεός που αξίζει να λατρεύεται παρά μόνον Αυτός, και (μαρτυρούν το ίδιο) οι άγγελοι και εκείνοι που έχουν γνώση. Καθιερώνει τη δικαιοσύνη (στα πάντα). Δεν υπάρχει άλλος θεός που αξίζει να λατρεύεται παρά μόνον Αυτός, ο Αλ-‘Αζείζ (Παντοδύναμος, Ανίκητος), ο Αλ-Χακείμ (Πάνσοφος).

Allāh ha dichiarato che non c’è divinità all’infuori di Lui, e anche gli angeli e gli uomini sapienti lo hanno dichiarato: non c’è divinità all’infuori di Lui, il Potente, il Sapiente!

Аллах засвидетельствовал, что нет божества, кроме Него, а также ангелы и обладающие знанием, — неуклонно поддерживая справедливость. Нет божества, кроме Него, Он — Могущественный, Мудрый.
Аллах сведочи да нема другог бога осим Њега, а и анђели и учени, поступајући праведно. Нема бога осим Њега, Силног и Мудрог.

Gud vittnar – liksom änglarna och de som har kunskap – att ingen är värd dyrkan utom han, den som upprätthåller rättvisan. Ingen är värd dyrkan utom han, den Allsmäktige, den Vise.
Allah şahittir ki kendisinden başka (ibadet edilmeye layık hak) bir ilah yoktur. Melekler ve adaleti ayakta tutan ilim sahipleri de (buna şahittir.) O’ndan başka (hak) ilah yoktur. O, Aziz'dir, Hakim'dir.

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
Religion with God is Islam. Those to whom the Scripture was given differed only after knowledge came to them, out of envy among themselves. Whoever rejects the signs of God-God is quick to take account.
Lo! religion with Allah (is) the Surrender (to His Will and Guidance). Those who (formerly) received the Scripture differed only after knowledge came unto them, through transgression among themselves. Whoso disbelieveth the revelations of Allah (will find that) lo! Allah is swift at reckoning
Verily, (the true) religion in God's sight is Islam, and those to whom the Book was given disagreed not until after that there was given to them knowledge, through mutual envy. But whoso disbelieves in God's signs, truly God is quick at reckoning up
The true religion with God is Islam: and they to whom the Scriptures had been given, differed not till after "the knowledge" had come to them, and through mutual jealousy. But as for him who shall not believe in the signs of God - God will be prompt to reckon with him
Verily the true religion in the sight of God, is Islam; and they who had received the scriptures dissented not therefrom, until after the knowledge of God's unity had come unto them, out of envy among themselves; but whosoever believeth not in the signs of God, verily God will be swift in bringing him to account

The translators word this verse differently
If they argue with you, say, "I have surrendered myself to God, and those who follow me." And say to those who were given the Scripture, and to the unlearned, "Have you surrendered?" If they have surrendered, then they are guided; but if they turn away, then your duty is to convey. God is Seeing of the servants.
And if they argue with thee, (O Muhammad), say: I have surrendered my purpose to Allah and (so have) those who follow me. And say unto those who have received the Scripture and those who read not: Have ye (too) surrendered? If they surrender, then truly they are rightly guided, and if they turn away, then it is thy duty only to convey the message (unto them). Allah is Seer of (His) bondmen
And if they would dispute with thee, then say, 'I turn my face with resignation unto God, and whoso follows me.' And say to those who have been given the Book, unto the Gentiles, 'Are ye, too, resigned' and if they are resigned, then are they guided. But if they turn their backs, then thou hast only to preach, and God looks on his servants
If they shall dispute with thee, then SAY: I have surrendered myself to God, as have they who follow me. SAY to those who have received the Book, and to the common folk, Do ye surrender yourselves unto God? If they become Muslims, then are they guided aright: but if they turn away - thy duty is only preaching; and God's eye is on His servants
If they dispute with thee, say, I have resigned my self unto God, and he who followeth me doth the same: And say unto them who have received the scriptures, and to the ignorant, do ye profess the religion of Islam? Now if they embrace Islam, they are surely directed; but if they turn their backs, verily unto thee belongeth preaching only; for God regardeth his servants

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 — 0.59 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.

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.
