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.
Say, "God has spoken the truth, so follow the religion of Abraham the Monotheist; he was not a Pagan."

Thuaj: "Të vërtetën e thotë Allahu, andaj ndiqeni fenë e Ibrahimit, i cili ishte besimtar i drejtë e nuk ishte idhujtar!"
তুমি বলে দাও: ‘আল্লাহ সত্য বলেছেন। (৫৬) কাজেই তোমরা একনিষ্ঠভাবে ইবরাহীমের ধর্ম অনুসরণ করো। আর তিনি মুশরিকদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত ছিলেন না।
Reci: "Allah istinu govori!" – da slijedite vjeru Ibrahimovu, koji je pravi vjernik bio. On u višebošce nije spadao!
Reci: "Allah istinu govori!" - da slijedite vjeru Abrahamovu koji je pravi vjernik bio. On u mnogobošce nije spadao!
Maaku: "Alla gooŋɗii. Njokke diina Ibraahiima kan; ooñiika [gaa diinaaji mehre], o laatanooki jeyaaɗo e ɓen sirkooɓe.
უთხარი (მათ), ო, (შუამავალო): «ალლაჰმა სიმართლე თქვა! (და თქვენ, ო, იუდეველნო, თუ ჭეშმარიტნი ხართ თქვენს სიყვარულში შუამავალი იბრაჰიმის მიმართ), — მიჰყევით იბრაჰიმის სარწმუნოებას — ერთღმერთიანობას, რადგან იგი — (შუამავალი იბრაჰიმი) — არ ყოფილა მრავალღმერთიანთაგანი.
Sag: „Allah hat die Wahrheit gesprochen.“ So folgt der Glaubensgemeinschaft Ibrahims, (als) Anhänger des rechten Glaubens, und er gehörte nicht zu den Götzendienern.
Πες (ω, Μωχάμμαντ): «Ο Αλλάχ είπε την αλήθεια. Ακολουθήστε λοιπόν τη θρησκεία του Ιμπραήμ (Αβραάμ, ο οποίος ήταν) Χανείφαν (απέκλινε από όλα τα μάταια δόγματα, ακολουθώντας την αληθινή πίστη), και δεν ήταν από τους πολυθεϊστές.»
(ऐ नबी!) आप कह दीजिए कि अल्लाह ने सच कहा है। अतः तुम इबराहीम (अलैहिस्सलाम) के धर्म का अनुसरण करो, जो एकेश्वरवादी थे और वह बहुदेववादियों में से नहीं थे।
Di’: “Allāh ha detto il vero! Seguite la religione di Ibrāhīm, monoteista, che non fu tra gli idolatri!”
95. Sakyk (Muchammedai ﷺ): „Allahas kalbėjo tiesą. Sekite Ibrahimo (Abraomo) Hanifa (islamiškuoju monoteizmu, t. y. jis garbindavo tik Allahą Vienintelį) tikėjimu ir jis nebuvo iš Al-Mušrikūn.“ (žr. ają 2:105)
Jedhi “Rabbiin dhugaa dubbateera; karaa amantii Ibraahiim qajeelaa ta’e hordofaa. Inni mushrikoota irraa hin taane"
Скажи: «Правду сказал Аллах. Так следуйте же вероучению Ибрахима, приверженца единобожия, ведь он не был из числа придающих Аллаху сотоварищей.
Реци: „Аллах говори истину!“ И следите Аврамову веру, који је био прави верник. Он није спадао у оне који поред Аллаха друге обожавају!
Sema: Mwenyezi Mungu amesema kweli. Basi fuateni mila ya Ibrahim mwongofu, wala hakuwa miongoni mwa washirikina.
Säg: ”Gud har talat sanning! Följ därför Abrahams rena monoteistiska lära, och han hörde inte till avgudadyrkarna.”
De ki: Allah doğru söylemiştir. Öyleyse, hanif olan İbrahim’in yoluna uyun! O, müşriklerden değildi.
کہہ دیجئے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ سچا ہے تم سب ابراہیم حنیف کے ملت کی پیروی کرو، جو مشرک نہ تھے.
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.

Whoever forges lies about God after that-these are the unjust.

But whoso forges against God a lie, after that, they are the unjust

In it are evident signs; the Station of Abraham. Whoever enters it attains security. Pilgrimage to the House is a duty to God for all who can make the journey. But as for those who refuse-God is Independent of the worlds.
Wherein are plain memorials (of Allah's guidance); the place where Abraham stood up to pray; and whosoever entereth it is safe. And pilgrimage to the House is a duty unto Allah for mankind, for him who can find a way thither. As for him who disbelieveth, (let him know that) lo! Allah is Independent of (all) creatures
Therein are manifest signs,- Abraham's station, and whosoever enters in is safe. There is due to God from man a pilgrimage unto the House, for whosoever can find his way there. But whoso misbelieves - God is independent of the worlds
In it are evident signs, even the standing-place of Abraham: and he who entereth it is safe. And the pilgrimage to the temple, is a service due to God from those who are able to journey thither. And as to him who believeth not - verily God can afford to dispense with all creatures
Therein are manifest signs: The place where Abraham stood; and whoever entereth therein, shall be safe. And it is a duty towards God, incumbent on those who are able to go thither, to visit this house; but whosoever disbelieveth, verily God needeth not the service of any creature

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 — 0.64 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.
