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.
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.
Do they not know that God extends the provision to whomever He wills, and constricts it? In that are signs for people who believe.

A nuk e dinë ata se Allahu ia shton rizkun kujt të dojë dhe ia pakon kujt të dojë?! Vërtet, në këtë ka shenja për njerëzit që besojnë.
এ সব মুশরিকরা কি জানে না, আল্লাহ (পরীক্ষা করতে) যাকে ইচ্ছা করেন রিযক প্রশস্ত করে দেন আর যাকে ইচ্ছা (রিযক) সংকীর্ণ করে দেন? নিশ্চয় এতে মু’মিন সম্প্রদায়ের জন্য নিদর্শনাবলি রয়েছে।(৩০)
Kako ne znaju da Allah daje obilje onom kome hoće, i da ga uskraćuje – to su, zaista, pouke narodu koji vjeruje.
Kako ne znaju da Allah daje obilje onom kome hoće, i da ga uskraćuje – to su, zaista, pouke narodu koji vjeruje.
E ɓe nganndaa won'de Allah no yaññana arsike on mo o muuyani, O ɓillina [mo o muuyani]? Pellet, Ma'andeeji ngonii e ɗum, wona nde yimɓe gooŋɗinooɓe.
განა არ იციან, რომ ალლაჰი ვისაც სურს, გაუზრდის საზრდოს და ვისაც სურს, შეუზღუდავს? უეჭველად, ამაში ნიშნებია მორწმუნე ხალხისთვის.
Haben sie denn nicht gewusst, dass Allah die Versorgung großzügig gewährt, wem Er will, und auch bemisst? Wahrlich, darin sind ja Zeichen für Leute, die glauben.
Δε γνωρίζουν ότι ο Αλλάχ παρέχει αγαθά με αφθονία σε όποιους θέλει, και τα περιορίζει (για όποιους θέλει, σύμφωνα με τη Σοφία Του, και ως δοκιμασία αν θα δείξει ο άνθρωπος ευγνωμοσύνη και πίστη ή αχαριστία και απιστία); Πράγματι, σ' αυτό υπάρχουν Σημάδια γι' εκείνους που πιστεύουν.
क्या उन्हें मालूम नहीं कि अल्लाह जिसके लिए चाहता है, रोज़ी कुशादा कर देता है, और (जिसे चाहता है) नापकर देता है? निश्चय इसमें बहुत-सी निशानियाँ हैं, उन लोगों के लिए, जो ईमान लाते हैं।
Come? Non sanno in verità che Allāh concede il bene a chi vuole e lo toglie? In verità in ciò ci sono Segni per il popolo credente.
52. Argi jie nežino, kad Allahas padidina aprūpinimą tam, kam Jis nori, ir apriboja jį (tam, kad Jis nori). Iš tiesų, tame yra ženklai liaudžiai, kuri tiki.
Sila akka Rabbiin nama fedheef kenna bal’isee, (kan fedhetti immoo) dhiphisu hin beekanuu? Dhugumatti, kana keessa ummata amananiif mallattooleetu jira.
Неужели они не знали, что Аллах увеличивает удел, кому пожелает, и ограничивает? Воистину, в этом — знамения для людей, которые веруют.
Зар они не знају да Аллах даје опскрбу у изобиљу ономе коме хоће, и да ускраћује; то су, заиста, поуке народу који верује.
Kwani wao hawajui kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu humkunjulia riziki amtakaye na kumkunjia? Hakika katika haya bila ya shaka zipo Ishara kwa watu wanaoamini.
Vet de inte att Gud ger riklig försörjning till vem han vill och begränsar den för andra? Detta är sannerligen en djup lärdom för människor som tror.
Allah’ın, rızkı dilediğine bol verdiğini ve (dilediğine) kıstığını bilmezler mi? Bunda iman eden bir toplum için elbette ibretler vardır.
کیا انہیں یہ معلوم نہیں کہ اللہ تعالیٰ جس کے لیے چاہے روزی کشاده کر دیتا ہے اور تنگ (بھی)، ایمان ﻻنے والوں کے لیے اس میں (بڑی بڑی) نشانیاں ہیں.[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.

The translators word this verse differently
The evils of their deeds caught up with them. And the wrongdoers among these will also be afflicted by the evils of what they earned, and they cannot prevent it.
But the evils that they earned smote them; and such of these as do wrong, the evils that they earn will smite them; they cannot escape
and there befell them the evil deeds of what they had earned: and those who do wrong of these (Meccans), there shall befall them too the evil deeds of what they had earned, nor shall they frustrate Him
And their own ill deeds recoiled upon them. And whoso among these (Meccans) shall do wrong, on them likewise their own misdeeds shall light, neither shall they invalidate God
and the evils which they had deserved, fell upon them. And whoever of these Meccans shall have acted unjustly, on them likewise shall fall the evils which they shall have deserved; neither shall they frustrate the divine vengeance

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.
