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 seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

E kush kërkon fe tjetër përveç Islamit, atij nuk do t'i pranohet dhe ai në botën tjetër do të jetë nga të humburit.
আর যে ব্যক্তি ইসলাম ব্যতীত অন্য কোনো দীন গ্রহণ করতে চায়, তার কাছ থেকে তা কখনোই গ্রহণ করা হবে না। আর আখিরাতে সে হবে ক্ষতিগ্রস্তদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত।
A onaj ko želi neku drugu vjeru osim islama, neće mu biti primljena, i on će na drugom svijetu biti među gubitnicima.
A onaj tko želi neku drugu vjeru osim islama, neće mu biti primljena, i on će na drugom svijetu biti među gubitnicima.
Kala ɗaɓɓuɗo ko woori Lislaamu on Diina, o jaɓaŋtaake ɗum, on ɗon ka laakara, ko o jeyaaɗo e pertuɓe ɓen.
ხოლო ვინც ისლამის გარდა სხვა სარწმუნოებას ისურვებს, მისგან იგი არასოდეს იქნება მიღებული [რადგან ისლამის გარდა სხვა რწმენა და მორჩილება არ არის ის, რაც ალლაჰს სურს ადამიანისათვის], და ის მარადიულ ცხოვრებაში აღმოჩნდება წაგებულთა შორის.
Und wer als Religion etwas anderes als den Islam begehrt, so wird es von ihm nicht angenommen werden, und im Jenseits wird er zu den Verlierern gehören.
Και όποιος επιζητά, εκτός του Ισλάμ, άλλη θρησκεία, ποτέ τούτο δεν θα γίνει αποδεκτό απ' αυτόν (στον Αλλάχ), και στη Μέλλουσα Ζωή θα είναι ανάμεσα στους ηττημένους.
और जो इस्लाम के अलावा कोई और धर्म तलाश करे, तो वह उससे हरगिज़ स्वीकार नहीं किया जाएगा और वह आख़िरत में घाटा उठाने वालों में से होगा।
E chi segue una fede differente dall’Islam, questa non verrà accettata da Lui, e nell’ Aldilà sarà tra i perdenti.[32]
85. Ir tas, kas ieško tikėjimo kito, nei islamas, tai niekada nebus priimta iš jo, o Amžinybėje jis bus vienas iš pralaimėtojų [8].
Namni Islaama malee amantii (biraa) barbaade isarraa hin qeebalamu. Aakhiraatti inni warra hoonga’an irraayi (ibidda jahannam seena).
Кто же станет искать помимо ислама иную религию, от того никогда не будет принято, а в Последней жизни он — из числа потерпевших убыток.
А онај ко жели неку другу веру поред ислама, неће му бити примљена, и он ће на другом свету да буде међу губитницима.
Na mwenye kutafuta dini isiyokuwa Uislamu, basi haitakubaliwa kutoka kwake. Naye katika Akhera atakuwa miongoni mwa waliohasirika.
Om någon vill anta en tro annan än islam kommer det inte att godtas, och i det kommande livet kommer han att vara bland förlorarna.
Kim İslam’dan başka bir din ararsa, (bu) ondan asla kabul edilmeyecektir. O, ahirette de hüsrana uğrayanlardandır.
جو شخص اسلام کے سوا اور دین تلاش کرے، اس کا دین قبول نہ کیا جائے گا اور وه آخرت میں نقصان پانے والوں میں ہوگا۔
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.

Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned?
Seek they other than the religion of Allah, when unto Him submitteth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and unto Him they will be returned
What is it other than God's religion that they crave? when to Him is resigned whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, will he or nill he, and to him shall they return
Other religion than that of God desire they? To him doth everything that is in the Heavens and in the Earth submit, in willing or forced obedience! and to Him do they return
Do they therefore seek any other religion but God's? Since to him is resigned whosoever is in heaven or on earth, voluntarily, or of force: And to him shall they return

How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people.
How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and (after) they bore witness that the messenger is true and after clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) had come unto them. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk
How shall God guide people who have disbelieved after believing and bearing witness that the Apostle is true, and after there come to them manifest signs? God guides the unjust folk
How shall God guide a people who, after they had believed and bore witness that the apostle was true, and after that clear proofs of his mission had reached them, disbelieved? God guideth not the people who transgress
How shall God direct men who have become infidels after they had believed, and born witness that the apostle was true, and manifest declarations of the divine will had come unto them? For God directeth not the ungodly people

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 — 0.55 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.
