Ditën kur do t'i tubojë të gjithë, do t'u thotë melekëve: "Vallë, këta ju adhuronin ju?"
হে নবী! স্মরণ করো, যেদিন তিনি তাদের (মুশরিকদের) সকলকে সমবেত করবেন, তারপর তিনি ফিরিশতাদেরকে বলবেন: ‘এরাই কি তোমাদেরই ইবাদাত (পূজা) করতো?’
A na Dan kad ih sve sabere, pa meleke upita: “Jesu li ovi vas obožavali?”

იმ დღეს, როდესაც ის [ალლაჰი] შეკრებს მათ, შემდეგ კი ეტყვის ანგელოზებს: «ნუთუ ესენი [მრავალღმერთიანები] თქვენ [ანგელოზებს] გეთაყვანებოდნენ?»
Und am Tag, da Er sie alle versammelt, und hierauf zu den Engeln sagt: „Diese da, pflegten sie euch zu dienen?,
(Ανάφερε, ω, Προφήτη) την Ημέρα που (ο Αλλάχ) θα τους συγκεντρώσει όλους μαζί, και θα πει στους Αγγέλους (ως επίπληξη για τους ειδωλολάτρες): «Αυτοί είναι εκείνοι που σας λάτρευαν;»
और जिस दिन वह (अल्लाह) उन सब को एकत्रित करेगा, फिर फ़रिश्तों से कहेगा : क्या यही लोग तुम्हारी इबादत (पूजा) किया करते थे?
E il giorno che li riunirà tutti insieme, poi dirà agli Angeli: «Quelli vi adoravano?»

(Yaa Muhammad!) guyyaa (Rabbiin) hunda isaanii (gabbaraafi gabbaramaas) kaasee, ergasii maleykotaan “sila isaan kun isin gabbaraa turanii?” jedhu [yaadadhu].
В День, когда Он соберёт их всех, а затем скажет ангелам: «Неужели это вам они поклонялись?»
А на Дан кад их све сакупи, па упита анђеле: „Јесу ли вас обожавали?“
Na siku atakayowakusanya wote, kisha atawaambia Malaika, "Je, hawa walikuwa wakikuabuduni?"
Den dag han samlar dem alla ska han säga till änglarna: ”Var det er dessa dyrkade?”
O gün onların hepsini biraraya toplar sonra meleklere: "Bunlar size mi tapıyorlardı?" der.
اور ان سب کو اللہ اس دن جمع کرکے فرشتوں سے دریافت فرمائے گا کہ کیا یہ لوگ تمہاری عبادت کرتے تھے.[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.

But those who work against Our revelations, seeking to undermine them-those will be summoned to the punishment.
And as for those who strive against Our revelations, challenging, they will be brought to the doom
And those who strive concerning our signs to frustrate them, these in the torment shall be arraigned
But they who shall aim to invalidate our signs, shall be consigned to punishment
But they who shall endeavour to render our signs of none effect, shall be delivered up to punishment

Say, "My Lord extends the provision to whomever He wills of His servants, or withholds it. Anything you spend, He will replace it. He is the Best of providers."
Say: Lo! my Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His bondmen, and narroweth (it) for him. And whatsoever ye spend (for good) He replaceth it. And He is the Best of Providers
Verily, my Lord extends provision to whomsoever He will of His servants, or doles it out to him. And what ye expend in alms at all, He will repay it; for He is the best of providers
SAY: Of a truth my Lord will be liberal in supplies to whom he pleaseth of his servants, or will be sparing to him: and whatever ye shall give in alms he will return; and He is the best dispenser of gifts
Say, verily my Lord will bestow provision in abundance unto whom he pleaseth of his servants, and will be sparing unto whom he pleaseth: And whatever thing ye shall give in alms, he will return it; and he is the best provider of food

They will say, "Be You glorified; You are our Master, not them. In fact, they used to worship the jinn, and most of them had faith in them."
They will say: Be Thou Glorified. Thou (alone) art our Guardian, not them! Nay, but they worshipped the jinn; most of them were believers in them
They shall say, 'Celebrated be thy praises! thou art our patron instead of them. Nay, they used to worship the ginns, most of them believe in them
They shall say, "Glory be to thee! Thou art our master, not these! But they worshipped the Djinn: it was in them that most of them believed
And the angels shall answer, God forbid! Thou art our friend, and not these: But they worshipped devils; the greater part of them believed in them

But today they cannot control for each other, either profit or harm;' and we will say to those who have done wrong, 'Taste ye the torment of the fire wherein ye did disbelieve

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 — 0.40 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.
