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.
Whoever acts righteously does so for himself; and whoever works evil does so against himself. Your Lord is not unjust to the servants.

Kush bën mirë, e ka për vete, e kush bën keq, i bën dëm vetes. Zoti yt nuk është i padrejtë ndaj robërve të Vet.
যে ব্যক্তি সৎকাজ করে সে তার নিজের জন্যই তা করে। আর যে অসৎকাজ করে তা (এর পরিণাম) তার ওপরই বর্তাবে। তোমার রব তাঁর বান্দাদের প্রতি মোটেই যুলমকারী নন।
Ko čini dobro, u svoju korist čini, a ko radi zlo, na svoju štetu radi. – A Gospodar tvoj nije nepravedan prema robovima Svojim.
Tko čini dobro, u svoju korist čini, a tko radi zlo, na svoju štetu radi. – A Gospodar tvoj nije nepravedan prema robovima Svojim.
Kala golluɗo ko moƴƴi, ko fii hoore-makko; kala kadi bonnuɗo, yantat e makko. Joomi maa ciforaani won'de, tooñoowo jiyaaɓe ɓen.
ვინც მართლად იქცევა [კეთილ საქმეებს აკეთებს], საკუთარი თავისთვის იქცევა [სიკეთე მას დაუბრუნდება], და ვინც ბოროტს სჩადის, საკუთარი თავის საზიანოდ სჩადის, და შენი უფალი არ არის უსამართლო თავისი მსახურების მიმართ.
Wer rechtschaffen handelt, so (tut er es) zu seinem eigenen Vorteil, und wer Schlechtes tut, so (tut er es) zu seinem eigenen Nachteil. Und dein Herr ist keiner, der den Dienern Unrecht zufügt.
Όποιος κάνει ενάρετες πράξεις, θα είναι προς το όφελός του, ενώ όποιος διαπράττει το κακό, θα είναι εις βάρος του. Πράγματι, ο Κύριός σου (ω, Προφήτη) δεν αδικεί ποτέ τους δούλους Του.
जो व्यक्ति अच्छा कर्म करेगा, तो वह अपने ही लाभ के लिए करेगा और जो बुरा कार्य करेगा, तो उसका दुष्परिणाम उसी पर होगा और आपका पालनहार बंदों पर तनिक भी अत्याचार करने वाला नहीं है।[17]
Chi ha fatto del bene lo fa a suo vantaggio, e chi ha fatto del male, cadrà in esso, e il tuo Dio non è ingiusto con i Suoi servi.
46. Kas daro teisingus gerus darbus, tai dėl jo paties (naudos), o kas daro blogą, tai prieš jį patį. Ir jūsų Viešpats nėra neteisingas (Savo) vergams.
Namni toltuu hojjate lubbuu isaatiifi. Namni hammaates isimarratti. Gooftaan kee gabroota miidhaa hintaane.
Кто совершил праведное дело, тот поступил во благо себе, а кто совершил зло, тот поступил во вред себе. И твой Господь вовсе не поступает несправедливо со Своими рабами.
Ко чини добро, чини у своју корист, а ко ради зло, ради на своју штету. А твој Господар није неправедан према Својим слугама.
Anayetenda mema, basi anajitendea mwenyewe nafsi yake. Na mwenye kutenda uovu, basi ni juu ya nafsi yake vile vile; wala Mola wako Mlezi si mwenye kuwadhulumu waja.
Den som handlar rättfärdigt gör det för sitt eget bästa, och den som handlar illa skadar sig själv. Din Herre är aldrig orättvis mot sina tjänare.
Kim salih amel işlerse kendisi içindir. Kim de kötülük yaparsa kendi aleyhinedir. Rabbin, kullara asla zulmedici değildir.
جو شخص نیک کام کرے گا وه اپنے نفع کے لیے اور جو برا کام کرے گا اس کا وبال اسی پر ہے۔ اور آپ کا رب بندوں پر ﻇلم کرنے واﻻ نہیں.[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.

Had We made it a Quran in a foreign language, they would have said, "If only its verses were made clear." Non-Arabic and an Arab? Say, "For those who believe, it is guidance and healing. But as for those who do not believe: there is heaviness in their ears, and it is blindness for them. These are being called from a distant place."
And if We had appointed it a Lecture in a foreign tongue they would assuredly have said: If only its verses were expounded (so that we might understand)? What! A foreign tongue and an Arab? - Say unto them (O Muhammad): For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing; and as for those who disbelieve, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness for them. Such are called to from afar
And had we made it a foreign Qur'an, they would have said, 'Unless its signs be detailed. .. . What! foreign and Arabic?' Say, 'It is, for those who believe, a guidance and a healing. But those who believe not, in their ears is dullness, and it is blindness to them; these are called to from a far-off place
Had we made it a Koran in a foreign tongue, they had surely said, "Unless its signs be made clear . . . ! What! in a foreign tongue? and the people Arabian?" SAY: It is to those who believe a guide and a medicine; but as to those who believe not, there is a thickness in their ears, and to them it is a blindness: they are like those who are called to from afar
If We had revealed the Koran in a foreign language, they had surely said, unless the signs thereof be distinctly explained, we will not receive the same: Is the book written in a foreign tongue, and the person unto whom it is directed, an Arabian? Answer, it is, unto those who believe, a sure guide, and a remedy for doubt and uncertainty: But unto those who believe not, it is a thickness of hearing in their ears, and it is a darkness which covereth them; these are as they who are called unto from a distant place

We gave Moses the Book, but disputes arose concerning it. Were it not for a prior decree from your Lord, judgment would have been pronounced between them. But they are in perplexing doubt concerning it.
And We verily gave Moses the Scripture, but there hath been dispute concerning it; and but for a Word that had already gone forth from thy Lord, it would ere now have been judged between them; but lo! they are in hopeless doubt concerning it
And we gave Moses the Book, and it was disputed about; but had it not been for thy Lord's word already passed it would have been decided between them, for, verily, they were in hesitating doubt thereon
Of old we gave the Book to Moses, and disputes arose about it: and if a decree of respite from thy Lord had gone before, there would surely have been a decision between them: for great were their doubts and questionings about it
We heretofore gave the book of the law unto Moses; and a dispute arose concerning the same: And if a previous decree had not proceeded from thy Lord, to respite the opposers of that revelation, verily the matter had been decided between them, by the destruction of the infidels; for they were in a very great doubt as to the same

To Him is referred the knowledge of the Hour. No fruit emerges from its sheath, and no female conceives or delivers, except with His knowledge. And on the Day when He calls out to them, "Where are My associates?" They will say, "We admit to you, none of us is a witness."

And those to whom they used to cry of old have failed them, and they perceive they have no place of refuge
they shall say, 'We do own to thee there is no witness amongst us!' and that on which they used to call before shall stray away from them, and they shall think there is no escape for them

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 — 0.61 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.
