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.

Kujtoni kur hipokritët dhe ata që kishin sëmundje në zemrat e tyre thoshin: "Allahu dhe i Dërguari i Tij nuk na premtuan gjë tjetër veç mashtrimit!"
আর স্মরণ করো, যখন মুনাফিকরা ও যাদের অন্তরে ব্যাধি ছিল তারা বলছিলো: ‘আল্লাহ ও তার রাসূল আমাদেরকে (শত্রুর ওপর বিজয় ও সাহায্যের) যে ওয়াদা দিয়েছিলেন, তা প্রতারণা ছাড়া আর কিছুই নয়।‘(৮)
I kad su dvoličnjaci i oni bolesna srca govorili: “Allah i Poslanik Njegov su nas samo obmanjivali kad su nam obećavali!”
I kad su dvoličnjaci i oni bolesna srca govorili: “Allah i Poslanik Njegov su nas samo obmanjivali kad su nam obećavali!”
Jaŋto kadi, tuma nde naafiqiiɓe ɓen, e ɓen ɓe ñawu woni e ɓerɗe mum mbi'aynoo: "Alla e Nulaaɗo Makko on fodaali men, si wonaa hodo".
(და გაიხსენეთ) როცა თქვეს ორპირებმა და მათ, რომელთა გულებშიც სენია [ეჭვი]: «ის, რაც ალლაჰი და მისი მოციქული შეგვპირდნენ, მხოლოდ საცდუნებელი აღმოჩნდა!»
Und als die Heuchler und diejenigen, in deren Herzen Krankheit ist, sagten: „Allah und Sein Gesandter haben uns ja nur Trügerisches versprochen.“
Και όταν οι υποκριτές και αυτοί που είχαν την αρρώστια (της αμφιβολίας) στις καρδιές τους (και είχαν αδύναμη πίστη), είπαν: «Αυτό που μας υποσχέθηκαν ο Αλλάχ και ο Αγγελιοφόρος Του (για νίκη), δεν είναι παρά μόνο πλάνη!»
और जब मुनाफ़िक़ और वे लोग जिनके दिलों में रोग है, कह रहे थे : अल्लाह और उसके रसूल ने हमसे जो वादा किया था, वह मात्र धोखा था।
E dissero gli ipocriti e quelli che avevano una malattia nel cuore: «Ciò che ci hanno promesso Allāh e il suo Profeta non sono altro che illusioni!»
12. Ir kai veidmainiai ir tie, kurių širdyse yra (abejonių) liga, sakė: „Allahas ir Jo Pasiuntinys ( ﷺ) nežadėjo mums nieko kito, tik apgaulę.“
Yeroo munaafiqootaafi isaan onneewwan isaanii keessa dhukkubni jiru “Rabbiifi ergamaan Isaas gowwoomsaa malee homaa waadaa nuuf hin seenne” jedhan [yaadadhaa].
И когда лицемеры и те, в чьих сердцах болезнь, сказали: «Аллах и Его Посланник не обещали нам ничего, кроме обмана!»
кад су лицемери и они болесних срца говорили: “Аллах и Посланик Његов су нас само обмањивали кад су нам обећавали!”
Na waliposema wanafiki na wale wenye maradhi katika nyoyo zao: "Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume wake hawakutuahidi ila udanganyifu tu."
Och minns när de skenbart troende och de med sjuka hjärtan sa: ”Gud och hans sändebud gav oss bara falska löften!”
O zaman münafıklar ve kalplerinde hastalık bulunanlar: “Allah ve Rasulü bize bir aldatıştan başka bir şey vaat etmemiştir” diyorlardı.
اور اس وقت منافق اور وه لوگ جن کے دلوں میں (شک کا) روگ تھا کہنے لگے اللہ تعالیٰ اور اس کے رسول نے ہم سے محض دھوکا فریب کا ہی وعده کیا تھا.[1]
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.

There and then the believers were tested, and were shaken most severely.
There were the believers sorely tried, and shaken with a mighty shock
There were the believers tried and were made to quake with a severe quaking
Then were the faithful tried, and with strong quaking did they quake
There were the faithful tried, and made to tremble with a violent trembling

And when a group of them said, "O people of Yathrib, you cannot make a stand, so retreat." And a faction of them asked the Prophet to excuse them, saying, "Our homes are exposed," although they were not exposed. They only wanted to flee.
And when a party of them said: O folk of Yathrib! There is no stand (possible) for you, therefor turn back. And certain of them (even) sought permission of the Prophet, saying: Our homes lie open (to the enemy). And they lay not open. They but wished to flee
And when a party of them said, 'O people of Yathreb; there is no place for you (here), return then (to the city).' And a part of them asked leave of the prophet (to return), saying, 'Verily, our houses are defenceless;' but they were not defenceless, they only wished for flight
And when a party of them said, "O people of Yathrib! there is no place of safety for you here; therefore return into the city." And another party of you asked the prophet's leave to return, saying, "Our houses are left defenceless." No! they were not left defenceless: but their sole thought was to flee away
And when a party of them said, O inhabitants of Yathreb, there is no place of security for you here; wherefore return home. And a part of them asked leave of the prophet to depart, saying, verily our houses are defenceless and exposed to the enemy: But they were not defenceless; and their intention was no other than to fly

The translators word this verse differently
Had it been invaded from its sides, and they were asked to dissent, they would have done so with little hesitation.
If the enemy had entered from all sides and they had been exhorted to treachery, they would have committed it, and would have hesitated thereupon but little
But had they been entered upon from its environs and then been asked to show treason they would have done so; but they would only have tarried there a little while
If the enemy had effected an entry at all points, and they (the disaffected) had been asked to promote confusion, they would have done so; but only a short time would they have remained in it. - (Medina)
If the city had been entered upon them by the enemy from the parts adjacent, and they had been asked to desert the true believers, and to fight against them; they had surely consented thereto: But they had not, in such case, remained in the same, but a little while

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 — 0.65 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.
