Test the orphans until they reach the age of marriage. If you find them to be matureenough, hand over their properties to them. And do not consume it extravagantly or hastily before they grow up. The rich shall not charge any wage, but the poor may chargefairly. When you hand over their properties to them, have it witnessed for them. God suffices as a Reckoner.

And when ye deliver up their fortune unto orphans, have (the transaction) witnessed in their presence. Allah sufficeth as a Reckoner

Vërini në provë jetimët derisa të arrijnë moshën e martesës[3]. Nëse vëreni se janë pjekur, atëherë dorëzojuani pasurinë e tyre dhe mos e shpenzoni atë duke e shpërdorur e duke nxituar për ta harxhuar para se të rriten. Ai që është i pasur, le të përmbahet, kurse ai që është i varfër, le të shpenzojë prej saj në mënyrë të arsyeshme. Kur t'ua dorëzoni atyre pasurinë, bëjeni këtë para dëshmitarëve. Mjafton që Allahu është Dëshmitar dhe Ai që merr në llogari.

Έπειτα, αν αντιληφθείτε σ’ αυτά ορθή κρίση, δώστε τους την περιουσία τους. Και μην επιδιώκετε να την καταναλώνετε με σπατάλη και γρήγορα, φοβούμενοι πως θα μεγαλώσουν (και θα την πάρουν). Και όποιος (από τους κηδεμόνες) είναι πλούσιος, ας αποφύγει να πάρει (από τα λεφτά του ορφανού), μα αν είναι φτωχός, ας τρώει (πάρει) σύμφωνα με αυτό που είναι δίκαιο και λογικό (που καλύπτει τις ανάγκες του).

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
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 Give women their dowries graciously. But if they willingly forego some of it, then consume it with enjoyment and pleasure.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And give unto the women (whom ye marry) free gift of their marriage portions; but if they of their own accord remit unto you a part thereof, then ye are welcome to absorb it (in your wealth)
Edward Henry Palmer1880 And give women their dowries freely; and if they are good enough to remit any of it of themselves, then devour it with good digestion and appetite
John Medows Rodwell1861 Give women their dowry freely; but if of themselves they give up aught thereof to you, then enjoy it as convenient, and profitable
George Sale1734 And give women their dowry freely; but if they voluntarily remit unto you any part of it, enjoy it with satisfaction and advantage
Talal Itani2012 Do not give the immature your money which God has assigned to you for support. But provide for them from it, and clothe them, and speak to them with kind words.

Edward Henry Palmer1880 But do not give up to fools their property which God has made you to stand by; but maintain them from it, and clothe them, and speak to them with a reasonable speech

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 Unto the men (of a family) belongeth a share of that which parents and near kindred leave, and unto the women a share of that which parents and near kindred leave, whether it be little or much - a legal share
Edward Henry Palmer1880 Men should have a portion of what their parents and kindred leave, and women should have a portion of what their parents and kindred leave, whether it be little or much, a determined portion
John Medows Rodwell1861 Men ought to have a part of what their parents and kindred leave; and women a part of what their parents and kindred leave: whether it be little or much, let them have a stated portion
George Sale1734 Men ought to have a part of what their parents and kindred leave behind them when they die: And women also ought to have a part of what their parents and kindred leave, whether it be little, or whether it be much; a determinate part is due to them
Talal Itani2012 If the distribution is attended by the relatives, and the orphans, and the needy, give them something out of it, and speak to them kindly.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And when kinsfolk and orphans and the needy are present at the division (of the heritage), bestow on them therefrom and speak kindly unto them
Edward Henry Palmer1880 And when the next of kin and the orphans and the poor are present at the division, then maintain them out of it, and speak to them a reasonable speech
John Medows Rodwell1861 And when they who are of kin are present at the division, and the orphans and the poor, let them too have a share; and speak to them with kindly speech
George Sale1734 And when they who are of kin are present at the dividing of what is left, and also the orphans, and the poor; distribute unto them some part thereof; and if the estate be too small, at least speak comfortably unto them

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. Licence read verbatim from the block embedded in this very file. Ingested exactly as shipped: no normalisation, no stripping of marks, no Unicode recomposition.
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.

(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.

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.
