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.
Did he invent a lie about God, or is there madness in him?" Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are in torment, and far astray.

A është duke trilluar gënjeshtra për Allahun apo është i çmendur?" Jo, por ata që nuk besojnë në botën tjetër kanë për t'u dënuar fort dhe janë në një humbje të madhe.
(তারা মুহাম্মাদ সম্পর্কে বলে) সে কি আল্লাহ সম্পর্কে মিথ্যা রটনা করেছে, নাকি সে উন্মাদ? বরং যারা আখিরাতে বিশ্বাস করে না, তারাই শাস্তির মধ্যে এবং সুদূর ভ্রষ্টতায় নিমজ্জিত।

ნუთუ მან [იგულისხმება მოციქული] ალლაჰზე სიცრუე მოიგონა, თუ მასში შეპყრობილობაა?» არა [სულაც არა ისეა, როგორც ურწმუნოები ამბობენ] (რადგან მუჰამმადი ყველაზე ჭეშმარიტია ჭეშმარიტთა შორის)! ისინი, რომელთაც არ სწამთ მარადიული სიცოცხლის, სასჯელში აღმოჩნდებიან, ხოლო (ამქვეყნად) (იმყოფებიან) (დიდ) გზაცდენაში!
Hat er denn gegen Allah eine Lüge ersonnen, oder leidet er an Besessenheit?“ Vielmehr stecken diejenigen, die nicht an das Jenseits glauben, in der Strafe und befinden sich im tiefen Irrtum.
Έχει κατασκευάσει ένα ψέμα εναντίον του Αλλάχ ή είναι τρελός;» Όχι (ούτε το ένα, ούτε το άλλο), αλλά εκείνοι που δεν πιστεύουν στη Μέλλουσα Ζωή, θα βρεθούν στο μαρτύριο (στη Μέλλουσα Ζωή), και βρίσκονται (στην εγκόσμια ζωή) σε ακραία πλάνη!
क्या उसने अल्लाह पर झूठ गढ़ा है या उसमें पागलपन है? बल्कि जो लोग आख़िरत पर विश्वास (ईमान) नहीं रखते, वे यातना[7] तथा दूर की गुमराही में हैं।
Dice forse menzogne su Allāh o è un posseduto?» Ma quelli che negano l’Aldilà saranno nella punizione e in lontana perdizione.
8. Ar jis (Muchammedas ﷺ) sukūrė melą prieš Allahą, ar jis pakvaišęs? Ne, tačiau tie, kurie netiki Amžinybę yra (patys) kančioje, ir tolimame paklydime.

Измыслил ли он ложь об Аллахе или же он одержим?» Нет, напротив! Те, которые не веруют в Последнюю жизнь, пребывают в наказании и далёком заблуждении.
Износи ли он лажи о Аллаху или је луд?“ Напротив, они који у онај свет неће да верују су у патњи и у дубокој заблуди.
Ama amemzulia Mwenyezi Mungu uongo, au ana wazimu. Bali wale wasioamini Akhera wamo adhabuni na upotovu wa mbali kabisa.
Är detta något han har hittat på om Gud, eller har han helt mist förståndet?” Nej, det är de som förnekar det kommande livet som verkligen befinner sig i elände och djup villfarelse.
"Acaba o, yalan yere Allah'a iftira mı etmiştir? Yoksa onda delilik mi var?" (dediler). Hayır! Öyle değil! Ahirete iman etmeyenler azap içinde ve uzak bir sapıklıktadır.
(ہم نہیں کہہ سکتے) کہ خود اس نے (ہی) اللہ پر جھوٹ باندھ لیا ہے یا اسے دیوانگی ہے[1] بلکہ (حقیقت یہ ہے) کہ آخرت پر یقین نہ رکھنے والے ہی عذاب میں اور دور کی گمراہی میں ہیں.[2]
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
Those who disbelieved said, "Shall we point out to you a man, who will tell you that, once torn into shreds, you will be in a new creation?
Those who disbelieve say: Shall we show you a man who will tell you (that) when ye have become dispersed in dust with most complete dispersal still, even then, ye will be created anew
And those who misbelieve say, 'Shall we guide you to a man who will inform you that when ye are torn all to pieces, then ye shall be a new creation
But the unbelievers say to those whom they fall in with, "Shall we shew you a man who will foretell you that when ye shall have been utterly torn and rent to pieces, ye shall be restored in a new form
The unbelievers say to one another, shall we shew you a man who shall prophesy unto you, that when ye shall have been dispersed with a total dispersion, ye shall be raised a new creature

Do they not reflect upon what lies before them and behind them, of the heaven and the earth? If We will, We can make the earth cave in beneath them, or make pieces of the sky fall down on them. In that is a sign for every devout servant.
Have they not observed what is before them and what is behind them of the sky and the earth? If We will, We can make the earth swallow them, or cause obliteration from the sky to fall on them. Lo! herein surely is a portent for every slave who turneth (to Allah) repentant

We bestowed upon David favor from Us: "O mountains, and birds: echo with him." And We softened iron for him.
And assuredly We gave David grace from Us, (saying): O ye hills and birds, echo his psalms of praise! And We made the iron supple unto him
And we did give David grace from us, 'O ye mountains! echo (God's praises) with him, and ye birds!' and we softened for him iron
Of old bestowed we on David a gift, our special boon: - "Ye mountains and ye birds answer his songs of praise." And we made the iron soft for him
We heretofore bestowed on David excellence from Us: And We said, O mountains, sing alternate praises with him; and We obliged the birds also to join therein. And We softened the iron for him

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 — 0.62 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.
