Juve ju takon gjysma e trashëgimisë që lënë bashkëshortet tuaja, në qoftë se nuk kanë fëmijë. Mirëpo, nëse ato kanë fëmijë, juve ju takon një e katërta e asaj që lënë ato, pas përmbushjes së porosisë (testamentit) që kanë lënë dhe larjes së borxhit. Ndërkaq, atyre u takon një e katërta e asaj që lini pas, nëse ju nuk keni fëmijë. E, nëse keni fëmijë, atyre u takon një e teta e asaj që lini ju, pasi të përmbushet porosia që keni lënë dhe të shlyhet borxhi. E, nëse burri ose gruaja e vdekur nuk ka as baba e as fëmijë, por ka një vëlla ose një motër (nga nëna), atëherë çdonjërit prej tyre i takon një e gjashta. Nëse janë më shumë se kaq, atëherë atyre u takon bashkërisht një e treta[6], pasi të përmbushet porosia e lënë dhe të shlyhet borxhi, duke mos dëmtuar askënd (nëpërmjet testamentit). Kjo është porosia e Allahut. Allahu është i Gjithëdijshëm dhe i Butë.

তোমাদের স্ত্রীরা যদি সন্তান না রেখে মারা যায়, তবে তাদের পরিত্যক্ত সম্পত্তির অর্ধেক তোমাদের জন্য। আর তাদের সন্তান থাকলে, তোমাদের জন্য তাদের পরিত্যক্ত সম্পত্তির চার ভাগের এক ভাগ; যদি অসিয়ত করে যায় কিংবা কোন ঋণ রেখে যায়, তবে সেগুলো পরিশোধ করার পর। তোমরা নিঃসন্তান হলে, তোমাদের পরিত্যক্ত সম্পত্তির চার ভাগের এক ভাগ স্ত্রীরা পাবে। আর তোমাদের সন্তান থাকলে, তোমাদের পরিত্যক্ত সম্পত্তির আট ভাগের এক ভাগ তোমাদের স্ত্রীরা পাবে; তোমরা যা অসিয়াত করবে তা পালন করার পর এবং ঋণ পরিশোধের পর। আর যদি কোনো পুরুষ অথবা নারীর ‘কালালাহ’ তথা পিতা-মাতা ও সন্তানহীন হলে, আর তার এক বৈপিত্রেয় ভাই বা বোন থাকে, তবে তাদের প্রত্যেকের জন্য ছয় ভাগের এক ভাগ। তারা এর চেয়ে বেশি হলে সবাই তিন ভাগের এক ভাগে সমান অংশীদার হবে; এটা অসিয়াত পালন এবং ঋণ পরিশোধের পর; কারো ক্ষতি না করে। এ হচ্ছে আল্লাহর বিধান। আর আল্লাহ সর্বজ্ঞানী, মহাধৈর্যশীল।

Αν όμως (οι ετεροθαλείς αδέλφια από τη πλευρά της μάνας) είναι περισσότεροι από αυτό (από έναν ή μια), τότε μοιράζονται το ένα τρίτο, μετά την εκτέλεση της διαθήκης που την είχε κάνει (πριν πεθάνει) και μετά από την εξόφληση του χρέους (του ή της, αν είχε), (και υπό την προϋπόθεση ότι η διαθήκη του ή της είναι) χωρίς να προκαλεί βλάβη (στους κληρονόμους, όπως αν η διαθήκη είναι παραπάνω από το ένα τρίτο της περιουσίας του ή της).

E se un uomo o una donna non hanno eredi, né ascendenti né discendenti[38] (يورث كلالة), ma hanno un fratello o una sorella, a ognuno di loro spetterà un sesto; se sono di più, divideranno un terzo, dopo aver fatto il testamento ed estinto il debito contratto, a condizione che non sia oneroso[39] غَيْرَ مُضَارٍّ.

12. Iš to, ką jūsų žmonos palieka, jūsų dalis yra pusė, jei jos neturi vaiko. Tačiau, jei palieka vaiką, jūs gaunate ketvirtadalį to, kas lieka po palikimo, kurį jos galėjo palikti testamentu arba skolų, išmokėjimo. Iš to ką jūs paliekate, jų (jūsų žmonų) dalis yra ketvirtadalis, jei jūs nepalikote vaiko.

Jei vyras ar moteris, kurio palikimas yra svarstomas, nepaliko nei tėvų, nei įpėdinių, tačiau paliko brolį arba seserį, kiekvienas iš dviejų gauna šeštadalį.

Если их больше этого, то они — соучастники в трети, после исполнения завещания, которое завещается, или выплаты долга, без причинения вреда [наследникам]. [Это —] в качестве завета от Аллаха. Аллах — знающий, сдержанный.

Вама припада половина онога што оставе супруге ваше, ако не буду имале деце; а ако буду имале деце, вама припада четвртина онога што оне оставе, пошто се изврши опорука коју оставе, или подмири дуг; њима припада четвртина онога што ви оставите, уколико не будете имали деце, а ако будете имали деце, њима припада осмина онога што ви оставите након што се изврши опорука коју оставите, или подмири дуг. А ако се мушкарац или жена, који немају ни деце ни родитеље, буду наслеђивали и буду имали брата или сестру (по мајци), онда ће свако од њих двоје да добије шестину; ако их буде више, они онда заједнички учествују у трећини, пошто се изврши опорука која је остављена, или подмири дуг, не оштећујући тиме било кога. То је Аллахова заповед, а Аллах све зна и не жури са казном.

Nanyi mna nusu ya walichoacha wake zenu ikiwa hawana mtoto. Lakini ikiwa wana mtoto, basi mna robo katika kile walichokiacha, baada ya wasia waliyousia au kulipa deni. Na wake zenu wana robo katika kile mlichokiacha, ikiwa hamna mtoto. Lakini ikiwa mna mtoto, basi wana thumuni katika kile mlichokiacha, baada ya wasia mliousia au kulipa deni. Na ikiwa mwanamume au mwanamke anayerithiwa hana mtoto wala wazazi, lakini anaye kaka au dada, basi kila mmoja wao ana sudusi. Na wakiwa zaidi kuliko hivyo, basi watashirikiana katika theluthi, baada ya wasia iliyousiwa au kulipa deni, pasi na kuleta madhara. Huu ndio wasia uliotoka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kujua, Mstahamilivu.

Ni får hälften av vad era hustrur efterlämnar, om de inte hade barn. Men om de hade barn, tillkommer er en fjärdedel, efter avdrag för testamente och skulder. Era hustrur får en fjärdedel av vad ni efterlämnar om ni inte hade barn. Och om ni hade barn, får de en åttondel, efter avdrag för testamente och skulder. Om en man eller en kvinna avlider utan att ha barn eller föräldrar men har en bror eller syster, tillfaller vardera en sjättedel. Är de fler, delar de gemensamt en tredjedel, efter avdrag för testamente och skulder, utan att någon skadas. Detta är en föreskrift från Gud. Gud är allvetande, fördragsam.

Eğer çocukları yoksa, hanımlarınızın geriye bıraktıklarının yarısı sizindir. Eğer çocukları varsa, bıraktıklarının dörtte biri sizindir. (Bu paylaştırma, ölen hanımlarınızın) yaptıkları vasiyetlerin yerine getirilmesi, yahut borçlarının ödenmesinden sonradır. Eğer sizin çocuğunuz yoksa, bıraktığınızın dörtte biri onlarındır. Eğer çocuğunuz varsa, bıraktığınızın sekizde biri onlarındır. (Yine bu paylaştırma) yaptığınız vasiyetin yerine getirilmesinden yahut borçlarınızın ödenmesinden sonradır. Eğer kendisine varis olunan bir erkek veya bir kadının evladı ve babası olmaz ve bir erkek veya bir kız kardeşi bulunursa, ona altıda bir düşer. Eğer (kardeşler) birden fazla olurlarsa, üçte birde ortaktırlar. (Bu paylaştırma varislere) zarar vermeksizin yapılan vasiyetin yerine getirilmesinden, yahut borcun ödenmesinden sonra yapılır. (Bütün bunlar) Allah’ın emridir. Allah, hakkıyla bilendir, Halîm'dir. (Hemen cezalandırmaz, mühlet verir.)

About these translations

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.

About easy-read

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.

Talal Itani2012 God instructs you regarding your children: The male receives the equivalent of the share of two females. If they are daughters, more than two, they get two-thirds of what he leaves. If there is only one, she gets one-half. As for the parents, each gets one-sixth of what he leaves, if he had children. If he had no children, and his parents inherit from him, his mother gets one-third. If he has siblings, his mother gets one-sixth. After fulfilling any bequest and paying off debts. Your parents and your children-you do not know which are closer to you in welfare. This is God's Law. God is Knowing and Judicious.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 Allah chargeth you concerning (the provision for) your children: to the male the equivalent of the portion of two females, and if there be women more than two, then theirs is two-thirds of the inheritance, and if there be one (only) then the half. And to each of his parents a sixth of the inheritance, if he have a son; and if he have no son and his parents are his heirs, then to his mother appertaineth the third; and if he have brethren, then to his mother appertaineth the sixth, after any legacy he may have bequeathed, or debt (hath been paid). Your parents and your children: Ye know not which of them is nearer unto you in usefulness. It is an injunction from Allah. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise

Edward Henry Palmer1880 God instructs you concerning your children; for a male the like of the portion of two females, and if there be women above two, then let them have two-thirds of what (the deceased) leaves; and if there be but one, then let her have a half; and as to the parents, to each of them a sixth of what he leaves, if he has a son; but if he have no son, and his parents inherit, then let his mother have a third, and if he have brethren, let his mother have a sixth after payment of the bequest he bequeaths and of his debt. Your parents or your children, ye know not which of them is nearest to you in usefulness: - an ordinance this from God; verily, God is knowing and wise

John Medows Rodwell1861 With regard to your children, God commandeth you to give the male the portion of two females; and if they be females more than two, then they shall have two-thirds of that which their father hath left: but if she be an only daughter, she shall have the half; and the father and mother of the deceased shall each of them have a sixth part of what he hath left, if he have a child; but if he have no child, and his parents be his heirs, then his mother shall have the third: and if he have brethren, his mother shall have the sixth, after paying the bequests he shall have bequeathed, and his debts. As to your fathers, or your children, ye know not which of them is the most advantageous to you. This is the law of God. Verily, God is Knowing, Wise

George Sale1734 God hath thus commanded you concerning your children. A male shall have as much as the share of two females: But if they be females only, and above two in number, they shall have two third parts of what the deceased shall leave; and if there be but one, she shall have the half. And the parents of the deceased shall have each of them a sixth part of what he shall leave, if he have a child: But if he have no child, and his parents be his heirs, then his mother shall have the third part. And if he have brethren, his mother shall have a sixth part, after the legacies which he shall bequeath, and his debts be paid. Ye know not whether your parents or your children be of greater use unto you. This is an ordinance from God, and God is knowing and wise

Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

Convention
Parsed structurally from the EPUB: an h3 names the surah, one p per verse with its number in its own span. An unnumbered p is the basmala and is not a verse, except in surah 1 where the basmala IS verse 1. 112 unnumbered paragraphs were found, which is 114 surahs less surah 1 and surah 9. Text is stored VERBATIM: NFC normalisation and XML entity unescaping only, because CC BY-ND forbids modification.

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.

Convention
Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 verses, keyed to mushaf order. The bismillah is not fused into ayah 1: 1:1 carries it and no other verse does. Verified against content check C3 at ingest.

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.

Convention
Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

CLEARED. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
