Ky është premtimi i Allahut e Allahu nuk e thyen premtimin e Vet, por shumica e njerëzve nuk e dinë.
এটা আল্লাহর ওয়াদা। আল্লাহ তাঁর ওয়াদা খেলাফ করেন না। কিন্তু অধিকাংশ মানুষ তা জানে না।
To je obećanje Allahovo. Allah ne krši obećanje svoje, ali većina ljudi ne zna.
To je obećanje Allahovo. Allah ne krši obećanje svoje, ali većina ljudi ne zna.
[Ɗuum] ko fodoore Alla. Alla luutndotaako fodoore makko nden. Kono ko ɓuri ɗuuɗude e yimɓe ɓen ɓe nganndaa.
[და რომაელები გაიმარჯვებენ სპარსელებზე] ალლაჰის დაპირებისამებრ [რომელიც მან მუჰამმად შუამავალს და მორწმუნეებს მისცა]. ალლაჰი არასდროს არ ცვლის თავის დანაპირებს, მაგრამ ადამიანთა უმეტესობამ არ იცის.
(Dies ist) das Versprechen Allahs. Allah bricht Sein Versprechen nicht, aber die meisten Menschen wissen nicht.
Αυτή είναι μία υπόσχεση από τον Αλλάχ. Ο Αλλάχ δεν αθετεί ποτέ την υπόσχεσή Του, αλλά οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι δε το γνωρίζουν,
यह अल्लाह का वादा है। अल्लाह अपने वादे[1] के विरुद्ध नहीं करता। परंतु अधिकतर लोग नहीं जानते।
Promessa di Allāh, e Allāh non manca mai alla Sua promessa, ma la maggior parte della gente non sa.
6. (Tai yra) Allaho Pažadas (t. y. Allahas suteiks pergalę romėnams prieš persus) ir Allahas nesusikerta Savo Pažade, tačiau dauguma žmonių nežino.
(injifannoon kun) Waadaa Rabbii (Rabbiin beellame), Rabbiin waadaa isaa hin diigu. Garuu irra hedduun namootaa hin beekanu.
[Таково] обещание Аллаха. Аллах не нарушает Своего обещания, — однако большинство людей не ведают.
То је Аллахово обећање. Аллах ће своје обећање испунити, али већина људи не зна.
Ni ahadi ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Mwenyezi Mungu havunji ahadi yake. Lakini wengi wa watu hawajui.
Detta är Guds löfte och han bryter aldrig sina löften. De flesta människor är dock omedvetna om detta.
(Bu) Allah'ın vaadidir. Allah vaadinden dönmez. Fakat insanların çoğu bilmezler.
اللہ کا وعده ہے[1] ، اللہ تعالیٰ اپنے وعدے کا خلاف نہیں کرتا لیکن اکثر لوگ نہیں جانتے.
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 not reflect within themselves? God did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, except with reason, and for a specific duration. But most people, regarding meeting their Lord, are disbelievers.
Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, save with truth and for a destined end. But truly many of mankind are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord
Have they not reflected in themselves, that God created not the heavens and the earth, and what is between the two except in truth, and for a stated and appointed time? but, verily, many men in the meeting of their Lord do disbelieve
Have they not considered within themselves that God hath not created the Heavens and the Earth and all that is between them but for a serious end, and for a fixed term? But truly most men believe not that they shall meet their Lord
Do they not consider within themselves that God hath not created the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them, otherwise than in truth, and hath set them a determined period? Verily a great number of men reject the belief of their future meeting their Lord at the resurrection

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.
