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.
To God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is the Rich, the Praised.

E Allahut është gjithçka që gjendet në qiej e në Tokë. Me të vërtetë, Allahu është i Panevoji, i Lavdëruari.
আসমানসমূহ ও জমিনে যা কিছু আছে তা সবই আল্লাহর; নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ অমুখাপেক্ষী, প্রশংসিত।
Allahovo je sve na nebesima i na Zemlji! Allah je, uistinu, neovisan i hvale dostojan.
Allahovo je sve na nebesima i na Zemlji! Allah je, uistinu, neovisan i hvale dostojan.
Ko Alla woodani kala ko woni kammuuji e ka leydi. Pellet, Alla, ko Kaŋko woni Galo, jettiniiɗo.
ალლაჰს ეკუთვნის ის, რაც ცაშია და რაც მიწაზეა. ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი მდიდარი, ქებულია.
Allah gehört, was in den Himmeln und auf der Erde ist. Wahrlich, Allah ist der Unbedürftige und der Lobenswürdige.
Στον Αλλάχ ανήκει ό,τι υπάρχει στους ουρανούς και στη γη. Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι ο Αλ-Γανέι (Πλούσιος, Ελεύθερος από κάθε ανάγκη), ο Αλ-Χαμείντ (Άξιος κάθε επαίνου).
आकाशों और धरती में जो कुछ है, अल्लाह ही का है। निःसंदेह अल्लाह सबसे बेनियाज़, सभी प्रशंसा के योग्य है।
Ad Allāh appartiene ciò che è nei cieli e in terra: in verità Allāh è Colui che basta a se stesso, il Lodevole.
26. Allahui priklauso viskas danguose ir žemėje. Iš tiesų, Allahas, Jis yra Al-Ghani (Turtingas, Nepriklausantis nuo jokių poreikių), Vertas visos šlovės.
Wantoonni samiileefi dachii keessa jiran (hundi) kan Allaahti. Rabbiin Isatu dureessa, faarfamaadha.
Аллаху принадлежит всё, что в небесах и на земле. Воистину, Аллах — Он Богатый, Достохвальный.
Аллахово је све на небесима и на Земљи! Аллах је, уистину, независан и хвале достојан.
Ni vya Mwenyezi Mungu vyote vilivyomo mbinguni na katika ardhi. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mkwasi, Mwenye kusifiwa.
Allt i himlarna och på jorden tillhör Gud. Gud är förvisso den Oberoende, den Lovprisade.
Göklerlerde ve yerde olanlar Allah’ındır. Muhakkak Allah Ganî'dir, Hamîd'dir.
آسمانوں میں اور زمین میں جو کچھ ہے وه سب اللہ ہی کا ہے[1] یقیناً اللہ تعالیٰ بہت بڑا بے نیاز[2] اور سزاوار حمد وﺛنا ہے.[3]
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.

The translators word this verse differently
We give them a little comfort; then We compel them to a harsh torment.
We give them comfort for a little, and then We drive them to a heavy doom
We will let them enjoy themselves a little; then we will force them to rigorous woe
Yet a little while will we provide for them: afterwards will we force them to a stern punishment
We will suffer them to enjoy this world for a little while: Afterwards We will drive them to a severe punishment

And if you ask them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" They will say, "God." Say, "Praise be to God." But most of them do not know.
If thou shouldst ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth? they would answer: Allah. Say: Praise be to Allah! But most of them know not
And if thou shouldst ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely say, 'God.' Say, 'Praise be to God!' but most of them do not know
If thou ask them who hath created the heavens and the earth, they will certainly reply, "God." SAY: God be praised! But most of them have no knowledge
If thou ask them who hath created the heavens and the earth, they will surely answer, God. Say, God be praised! But the greater part of them do not understand

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 — 0.63 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.
