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.
God originates creation, and then repeats it. Then to Him you will be returned.

Allahu e nis krijimin e më pas e përsërit atë. Pastaj, tek Ai do të ktheheni.
আল্লাহ ( পূর্ব নমুনা ছাড়াই ) সৃষ্টির সূচনা করেন, তারপর তিনিই তার পুনরাবৃত্তি করবেন। তারপর তাঁর কাছেই তোমরা প্রত্যাবর্তিত হবে।
Allah je počeo stvaranje, zatim ga ponavlja i na kraju Njemu ćete se vratiti.
Allah je počeo stvaranje, zatim ga ponavlja i na kraju Njemu ćete se vratiti.
Ko Alla fuɗɗi tagoore nde; refti o rutta nde; refti ko ka makko rutteteɗon.
ალლაჰი იწყებს გაჩენას [არარაობიდან ქმნის], შემდეგ კვლავ იმეორებს მას [ხელახლა ქმნის], ხოლო ბოლოს თქვენ მასთანვე დაბრუნდებით!
Allah macht die Schöpfung am Anfang und wiederholt sie hierauf. Dann werdet ihr zu Ihm zurückgebracht.
Ο Αλλάχ δημιουργεί τη δημιουργία από την αρχή (είτε από ύλη, είτε από ανυπαρξία, και χωρίς κανένα προηγούμενο πρότυπο), έπειτα την επαναφέρει (στη ζωή, μετά από το θάνατο), έπειτα προς Αυτόν θα επιστρέψετε όλοι.
अल्लाह ही सृष्टि का आरंभ करता है। फिर वही उसे दोबारा पैदा करेगा। फिर तुम उसी की ओर लौटाए[4] जाओगे।
Allāh dà inizio al creato, poi lo ricrea: poi a Lui tornerete.
11. Allahas (Vienintelis) duoda pradžią kūrimui, tada Jis pakartos tai, tada pas jį Jūs būsite sugrąžinti.
Rabbiin uuminsa ni jalqaba, Eegasii isa ni deebisa. Sana booda gara Isaa deebifamtu.
Аллах создаёт творение впервые, а затем воссоздаёт его, а потом к Нему вы будете возвращены.
Аллах започиње стварање; ствара из ничега, затим ће то поново да учини, а онда ћете Њему да будете враћени.
Mwenyezi Mungu huanzisha uumbaji, tena akaurudisha mara ya pili, na kisha mtarejeshwa kwake.
Gud är den som inleder skapelsen och han ska sedan upprepa den. Därefter ska ni föras åter till honom.
Allah yaratmayı ilk olarak başlatır, sonra onu yeniden gerçekleştirir. Sonra O'na döndürülürsünüz.
اللہ تعالیٰ ہی مخلوق کی ابتدا کرتا ہے[1] پھر وہی اسے دوباره پیدا کرے گا پھر تم سب اسی کی طرف لوٹائے جاؤ گے.[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.

Have they not travelled the earth and seen how those before them ended up? They were more powerful than them, and they cultivated the land and developed it more than they developed it, and their messengers came to them with clear signs. God would never wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves.
Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? They were stronger than these in power, and they dug the earth and built upon it more than these have built. Messengers of their own came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty). Surely Allah wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves
Have they not journeyed on in the land and seen how was the end of those before them who were stronger than they, and who turned up the ground and cultivated it more than they do cultivate it? and there came to them their apostles with manifest signs; for God would never wrong them: it was themselves they wronged
Have they never journeyed through the land, and seen what hath been the end of those who were before them? Mightier were they than these in strength; and they broke up the land, and dwelt in it in greater numbers than they who dwell there now; and their apostles came to them with proofs of their mission: and it was not God who would wrong them, but they wronged themselves
Do they not pass through the earth, and see what hath been the end of those who were before them? They excelled the Meccans in strength, and broke up the earth, and inhabited it in greater affluence and prosperity than they inhabit the same: And their apostles came unto them with evident miracles; and God was not disposed to treat them unjustly, but they injured their own souls by their obstinate infidelity

Then, evil was the end of those who committed evil. That is because they rejected God's revelations, and used to ridicule them.
Then evil was the consequence to those who dealt in evil, because they denied the revelations of Allah and made a mock of them
Then evil was the end of those who did evil, in that they said the signs of God were lies and mocked thereat
Then evil was the end of the evil doers; because they had treated our signs as lies, and laughed them to scorn
and the end of those who had done evil, was evil, because they charged the signs of God with falsehood, and laughed the same to scorn

The translators word this verse differently
They will have no intercessors from among their idols, and they will disown their partners.
There will be none to intercede for them of those whom they made equal with Allah. And they will reject their partners (whom they ascribed unto Him)
and they shall not have amongst their partners intercessors; and their partners shall they deny
And they shall have no intercessors from among the gods whom they have joined with God, and they shall deny the gods they joined with Him
And they shall have no intercessors from among the idols which they associated with God; and they shall deny the false gods which they associated with Him

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 — 0.71 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.
