EditionTanzil Qur'an text (Uthmani) ·Creative Commons Attribution 3.0
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.
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.
So devote yourself to the upright religion, before there comes from God a Day that cannot be averted. On that Day, they will be shocked.

Ktheje fytyrën nga feja e drejtë para se të vijë një Ditë e caktuar nga Allahu, e cila nuk mund të zmbrapset. Atë Ditë njerëzit do të ndahen.
সুতরাং হে রাসূল! তুমি তোমার নিজকে সরল-সঠিক দ্বীনের উপর কায়েম রাখো, আল্লাহর পক্ষ থেকে সেদিন আসার পূর্বে, যেদিন উপস্থিত হলে তাকে রুখে দেওয়ার কেউ থাকবে না, সেদিন মানুষ বিভক্ত হয়ে পড়বে।(১০)
Zato ti upravi lice svoje pravoj vjeri prije nego što od Allaha dođe Dan koji niko neće moći odbiti. Taj dan će se oni razdvojiti.
Zato ti upravi lice svoje pravoj vjeri prije nego što od Allaha dođe Dan koji nitko neće moći odbiti. Taj dan će se oni razdvojiti.
Feewtinir ye'eso maa ngon e diina po'occiiɗa kan, ado ñalaande arde immorde ka Alla nde ruttetaake. Nde ñalnde, ɓe seeday:
და მიმართე შენი სახე [გული და მთელი არსება] მხოლოდ ჭეშმარიტ სარწმუნოებას, სანამ დადგება ის დღე, რომელსაც არ ჰყავს გამბრუნებელი ალლაჰისაგან [ვერავინ ვერ შეაჩერებს მის მოსვლას]. იმ დღეს გაიყოფიან (ორ ბანაკად).
So richte dein Gesicht aufrichtig zur richtigen Religion hin, bevor ein Tag kommt, der von Allah nicht zurückgewiesen wird. An jenem Tag werden sie sich (in Gruppen) spalten.
Θέσε, λοιπόν, (ω, Προφήτη) το πρόσωπό σου με αφοσίωση προς την ορθή θρησκεία (το Ισλάμ), προτού έρθει μία Ημέρα από τον Αλλάχ, που τίποτε δεν μπορεί να την αποτρέψει. Εκείνη την Ημέρα οι άνθρωποι θα χωριστούν (σε πιστούς, και άπιστους).
अतः आप अपना चेहरा सीधे धर्म पर स्थापित रखें, इससे पहले कि वह दिन आ जाए, जिसे अल्लाह की ओर से टलना नहीं है। उस दिन लोग अलग-अलग[17] हो जाएँगे।
Solleva il tuo volto, professando la giusta religione, prima che arrivi il giorno inevitabile, previsto da Allāh. Quel giorno si divideranno:
43. Taigi pasuk (Muchammedai ﷺ) savo veidą (į paklusimą Allahui, savo Viešpačiui) į tiesią ir teisingą religiją (islamiškąjį monoteizmą), prieš tai, kai ateis iš Allaho Diena, kurios niekas negali išvengti. Tą Dieną žmonės bus padalinti [(į dvi grupes) grupė Rojuje ir grupė Pragare].
fuula kee amantii sirrii ta’eef sirreessi,Guyyaan Rabbirraa deebi’uun isaaf hin jirre odoo hin dhufne duratti. Guyyaa san (gara jannataafi ibiddaatti) qoodamu.
Так обрати же свой лик к верной религии, прежде чем наступит день от Аллаха, который нельзя отвратить. В тот день они разделятся.
Зато ти усмери своје лице правој вери, пре него што вољом Аллаховом дође Дан који нико неће моћи да одбије. Тог дана ће они да се раздвоје.
Basi uelekeze uso wako sawasawa kwenye Dini iliyonyooka kabla ya kufika Siku hiyo isiyozuilika, inayotoka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Siku hiyo watu watatengana.
Vänd dig till den rätta tron innan en dag kommer som Gud inte ska hålla tillbaka. Den dagen ska människorna delas [in i två grupper].
Allah tarafından (gelecek ve) geri çevirilmesi mümkün olmayan bir gün gelmeden yüzünü o dosdoğru dine çevir. O gün onlar bölük bölük ayrılacaklardır.
پس آپ اپنا رخ اس سچے اور سیدھے دین کی طرف ہی رکھیں قبل اس کے کہ وه دن آجائے جس کا ٹل جانا اللہ تعالیٰ کی طرف سے ہے ہی نہیں[1] ، اس دن سب متفرق[2] ہو جائیں گے.
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.

Say, "Roam the earth, and observe the fate of those who came before. Most of them were idolaters."
Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): Travel in the land, and see the nature of the consequence for those who were before you! Most of them were idolaters
Say, 'Journey on in the land, and behold what was the end of those before you,- most of them were idolaters

Whoever disbelieves, upon him falls his disbelief. And whoever acts righteously-they are preparing for themselves.
Whoso disbelieveth must (then) bear the consequences of his disbelief, while those who do right make provision for themselves
He who misbelieves, upon him is his misbelief; but whoso does right, for themselves they are spreading couches
Unbelievers on whom shall be their unbelief; and they who have wrought righteousness, and prepared for themselves couches of repose
Whoever shall have been an unbeliever, on Him shall his unbelief be charged; and whoever shall have done that which is right, shall spread themselves couches of repose in paradise

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 — 0.68 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.
