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.
What would they have lost, had they believed in God and the Last Day, and gave out of what God has provided for them? God knows them very well.

E çka do t'i gjente ata sikur të besonin Allahun e Ditën e Fundit dhe të jepnin nga begatitë që ua ka dhënë Allahu?! Allahu di çdo gjë për ta.
তারা আল্লাহ ও শেষ দিবসে ঈমান আনলে এবং আল্লাহ তাদেরকে যা কিছু দিয়েছেন তা থেকে ব্যয় করলে, তাদের এমন কী ক্ষতি হতো? আর আল্লাহ তাদের সম্পর্কে সম্যক অবগত।
A šta bi im bilo da u Allaha i Posljednji dan vjeruju i da od onoga što im je Allah dao udjeljuju?! A Allah o njima sve zna.

და რა (ცუდი) დაემართებოდათ მათ, რომ ერწმუნათ ალლაჰის და უკანასკნელი დღის, და დაეხარჯათ იმიდან, რაც ალლაჰმა უწყალობა მათ? და ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰმა იცის მათ შესახებ.
Was würde es ihnen denn ausmachen, wenn sie an Allah und den Jüngsten Tag glauben und von dem ausgeben würden, womit Allah sie versorgt hat? Und Allah ist wissend über sie.
Τι θα τους έβλαπτε αν πίστευαν στον Αλλάχ και στην Έσχατη Ημέρα, και ξόδευαν από ό,τι τους έχει παράσχει ο Αλλάχ; Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι Παντογνώστης γι' όλα τα θέματά τους.
और उनका क्या बिगड़ जाता, यदि वे अल्लाह तथा अन्तिम दिन पर ईमान रखते और अल्लाह ने उन्हें जो कुछ दिया है, उसमें से खर्च करते? और अल्लाह उन्हें भली-भाँति जानता है।
E cosa avrebbero da perdere se credessero in Allāh e nell’Ultimo Giorno, e spendessero da ciò che Allāh ha loro donato? E Allāh È Bene Informato su di loro.
39. Ir ką jie prarastų, jei patikėtų Allahą ir Paskutiniąją Dieną, ir leistų iš to, ką Allahas suteikė jiems išlaikyti? Ir Allahas yra Visada Visa Žinantis apie juos.

Что стало бы им, если бы они уверовали в Аллаха и в Последний день и расходовали из того, чем Аллах наделил их? Аллах всегда был [и пребудет] о них знающим.

Vad skulle de förlora på att tro på Gud och den yttersta dagen och att ge av det som Gud har försörjt dem med? Gud har full vetskap om dem.

بھلا ان کا کیا نقصان تھا اگر یہ اللہ تعالیٰ پر اور قیامت کے دن پر ایمان ﻻتے اور اللہ تعالیٰ نے جو انہیں دے رکھا ہے اس میں خرچ کرتے، اللہ تعالیٰ انہیں خوب جاننے واﻻ ہے۔
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 are stingy, and exhort people to stinginess, and conceal what God has given them from His bounty. We have prepared for the disbelievers a disgraceful punishment.
Who hoard their wealth and enjoin avarice on others, and hide that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty. For disbelievers We prepare a shameful doom
who are miserly and bid men be miserly too, and who hide what God has given them of His grace;- but we have prepared for the misbelievers shameful woe
Who are niggardly themselves, and bid others be niggards, and hide away what God of his bounty hath given them. We have made ready a shameful chastisement for the unbelievers
for God loveth not the proud or vainglorious, who are covetous, and recommend covetousness unto men, and conceal that which God of his bounty hath given them, -- we have prepared a shameful punishment for the unbelievers

And those who spend their money to be seen by people, and believe neither in God nor in the Last Day. Whoever has Satan as a companion-what an evil companion.
And (also) those who spend their wealth in order to be seen of men, and believe not in Allah nor the Last Day. Whoso taketh Satan for a comrade, a bad comrade hath he
And those who expend their wealth in alms for appearance sake before men, and who believe not in God nor in the last day; - but whosoever has Satan for his mate, an evil mate has he
And for those who bestow their substance in alms to be seen of men, and believe not in God and in the last day. Whoever hath Satan for his companion, an evil companion hath he

God does not commit an atom's weight of injustice; and if there is a good deed, He doubles it, and gives from His Presence a sublime compensation.
Lo! Allah wrongeth not even of the weight of an ant; and if there is a good deed, He will double it and will give (the doer) from His presence an immense reward
Verily, God would not wrong by the weight of an atom; and if it's a good work, He will double it and bring from Himself a mighty hire
God truly will not wrong any one of the weight of a mote; and if there be any good deed, he will repay it doubly; and from his presence shall be given a great recompense
Verily God will not wrong any one even the weight of an ant: And if it be a good action, he will double it, and will recompense it in his sight with a great reward

But how (will it be with them) when We bring of every people a witness, and We bring thee (O Muhammad) a witness against these
How then when we bring from every nation a witness, and bring thee as a witness against these
How! when we shall bring up against them witnesses from all peoples, and when we shall bring thee up as witness against these
How will it be with the unbelievers, when we shall bring a witness out of each nation against itself, and shall bring thee, O Mohammed, a witness against these people

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 — 0.65 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.
