EditionTanzil Qur'an text (Uthmani) ·Creative Commons Attribution 3.0
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.
Those who disbelieve will suffer a harsh punishment, but those who believe and do righteous deeds will have forgiveness and a great reward.

Për ata që nuk besojnë do të ketë dënim të rëndë, kurse për ata që besojnë dhe bëjnë vepra të mira, do të ketë falje dhe shpërblim të madh.
যারা কুফরী করে তাদের জন্য রয়েছে কঠিন শাস্তি; আর যারা ঈমান আনে ও নেক আমল করে, তাদের জন্য রয়েছে ক্ষমা ও বড় প্রতিদান ।
One koji ne vjeruju čeka patnja teška, a one koji vjeruju i dobra djela čine oprost i nagrada velika.
One koji ne vjeruju čeka patnja teška, a one koji vjeruju i dobra djela čine oprost i nagrada velika.

ისინი, ვინც ურწმუნო გახდნენ, — მათთვის არის ძლიერი სასჯელი (მარადიულ ცხოვრებაში). ხოლო ისინი, რომლებმაც ირწმუნეს და კეთილი საქმეები აკეთებდნენ, — მათთვის არის მიტევება (მათი ცოდვებისთვის) და დიდი ჯილდო [სამოთხე].
Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, für sie wird es strenge Strafe geben; und diejenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Taten verrichten, für sie wird es Vergebung und großen Lohn geben.
Όσο γι' εκείνους που αρνήθηκαν την πίστη, θα έχουν ένα σκληρό μαρτύριο, αλλά όσο γι' αυτούς που πιστεύουν και κάνουν ενάρετες πράξεις, θα έχουν συγχώρεση και μία τεράστια ανταμοιβή.
जिन लोगों ने कुफ़्र किया, उनके लिए कठोर यातना है, तथा जो लोग ईमान लाए और सत्कर्म किए, उनके लिए क्षमा तथा बड़ा प्रतिफल है।
I miscredenti avranno una dura punizione, mentre quelli che hanno creduto e hanno fatto il bene avranno perdono e una grande ricompensa.
7. Tų, kurie netiki, jų bus siaubinga kančia. O tų, kurie tiki (Allaho Vienumą – islamiškąjį monoteizmą) ir daro teisingus gerus darbus, jų bus atleidimas ir didžiulis atlygis (t. y. Rojus).
Isaan kafaran adabbii cimaatu isaaniif jira. Isaan amananii, gaggaarii hojjatan immoo araaramaafi mindaa guddaatu isaaniif jira.
Те, которые отвергли веру — для них суровое наказание, а те, которые уверовали и совершали праведные деяния — для них прощение и большая награда.
Онима који не верују припада жестока патња, а онима који верују и раде добра дела припада опроштај и велика награда.
Wale waliokufuru watakuwa na adhabu kali; na wale walioamini na wakatenda mema watapata msamaha na ujira mkubwa.
Ett hårt straff väntar de otrogna, men för de som tror och handlar rättfärdigt väntar förlåtelse och en storslagen belöning.
Kâfirler için şiddetli bir azap vardır. İman edenler ve salih amellerde bulunanlar için mağfiret ve büyük bir mükâfat vardır.
جو لوگ کافر ہوئے ان کے لئے سخت سزا ہے اور جو لوگ ایمان ﻻئے اور نیک اعمال کئے ان کے لئے بخشش ہے اور (بہت) بڑا اجر ہے.[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.

O people! The promise of God is true; so let not the lowly life seduce you, and let not the Tempter tempt you away from God.
O mankind! Lo! the promise of Allah is true. So let not the life of the world beguile you, and let not the (avowed) beguiler beguile you with regard to Allah
O ye folk! verily, God's promise is true; then let not the life of this world beguile you, and let not the beguiler beguile you concerning God

The translators word this verse differently
Satan is an enemy to you, so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his gang to be among the inmates of the Inferno.
Lo! the devil is an enemy for you, so treat him as an enemy. He only summoneth his faction to be owners of the flaming Fire
Verily, the devil is to you a foe, so take him as a foe; he only calls his crew to be the fellows of the blaze
Yes, Satan is your foe. For a foe then hold him. He calleth his followers to him that they may become inmates of the flame
For Satan is an enemy unto you; wherefore hold him for an enemy: He only inviteth his confederates to be the inhabitants of hell

The translators word this verse differently
What of him whose evil deed was made attractive to him, and so he regards it as good? God leads astray whomever He wills, and He guides whomever He wills. Therefore, do not waste yourself sorrowing over them. God knows exactly what they do.
Is he, the evil of whose deeds is made fairseeming unto him so that he deemeth it good, (other than Satan's dupe)? Allah verily sendeth whom He will astray, and guideth whom He will; so let not thy soul expire in sighings for them. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do
What! is he whose evil act is made seemly for him, so that he looks upon it as good,-? Verily, God leads astray whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases; let not thy soul then be wasted in sighing for them; verily, God knows what they do
Shall he, the evil of whose deeds are so tricked out to him that he deemeth them good, be treated like him who seeth things aright? Verily God misleadeth whom He will, and guideth whom He will. Spend not thy soul in sighs for them: God knoweth their doings
Shall he therefore for whom his evil work hath been prepared, and who imagineth it to be good, be as he who is rightly disposed, and discerneth the truth? Verily God will cause to err whom He pleaseth, and will direct whom He pleaseth. Let not thy soul therefore be spent in sighs for their sakes, on account of their obstinacy; for God well knoweth that which they do

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 — 0.70 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.
