Whatever things are given you, they are the provision of this present life: But the reward which is with God is better, and more durable, for those who believe, and put their trust in their Lord

Çfarëdo që ju është dhënë është vetëm kënaqësi e jetës së kësaj bote. Ndërkaq, ajo që është tek Allahu është më e mirë dhe më e qëndrueshme për ata që besojnë dhe i mbështeten Zotit të tyre;
আর তোমাদেরকে (১১) যা কিছু দেয়া হয়েছে, তা দুনিয়ার জীবনের ভোগ্য সামগ্রী মাত্র। আর আল্লাহর নিকট যা আছে তা উৎকৃষ্ট ও স্থায়ী, তাদের জন্য যারা ঈমান আনে এবং তাদের রবের ওপর ভরসা করে।
Ono što vam je dato, samo je uživanje u životu dunjalučkom, a ono što je u Allaha – bolje je i trajnije za one koji vjeruju i na Gospodara svoga se oslanjaju;
Ono što vam je dato, samo je uživanje u životu ovosvjetskom, a ono što je u Allaha – bolje je i trajnije za one koji vjeruju i na Gospodara svoga se oslanjaju;

რაც კი რამ გებოძათ, ამქვეყნიური ცხოვრების საზრდოა. ხოლო ის, რაც ალლაჰთანაა, უკეთესია და მარადიული მათთვის, რომელთაც ირწმუნეს და თავიანთ უფალს მიენდობიან.
Was immer euch nun gegeben worden ist, so ist es Nießbrauch des diesseitigen Lebens. Was aber bei Allah ist, ist besser und beständiger für diejenigen, die glauben und sich auf ihren Herrn verlassen,
Ό,τι σας δόθηκε (ω, άνθρωποι, από πλούτη, κύρος, παιδιά κλπ.), δεν είναι παρά μία (φευγαλέα) απόλαυση της εγκόσμιας ζωής, αλλά ό,τι έχει ο Αλλάχ (από ανταμοιβή) είναι καλύτερο και διαρκεί για πάντα, γι' αυτούς που πιστεύουν και εμπιστεύονται τον Κύριό τους.
तुम्हें जो चीज़ भी दी गई है, वह सांसारिक जीवन का सामान है, तथा जो कुछ अल्लाह के पास है, वह उत्तम और स्थायी[28] है, उन लोगों के लिए जो अल्लाह पर ईमान लाए तथा केवल अपने पालनहार पर भरोसा रखते हैं।
Ciò che vi è concesso è solo una distrazione per questa vita, e ciò che si trova da Allāh è migliore e più duraturo per quelli che hanno creduto e si affidano al loro Dio,
36. Taigi viskas, kas jums yra suteikta, yra tik šio žemiškojo gyvenimo (praeinanti) pramoga, tačiau tai, kas yra su Allahu (Rojus) yra geriau ir ilgiau trunkantis tiems, kurie tiki (Allaho Vienumą islamiškąjį monoteizmą) ir pasitiki savo Viešpačiu (visuose savo reikaluose).
Wahirraa wanti isin kennamtan kamiyyuu qananii jireenya addunyaati. Waan Rabbiin bira jiruutu caalaafi hafaadha isaan amananii, Gooftaa isaanii irratti irkataniif .
Всё, что вам дано, — лишь временное пользование [благами] мирской жизни. А то, что у Аллаха, — лучше и долговечнее для тех, кто уверовал и уповает на своего Господа.
Оно што вам је дато, само је уживање у овосветском животу, а оно што је код Аллаха - боље је и трајније за оне који верују и на свога Господара се ослањају;
Basi vyote mlivyopewa ni starehe ya maisha ya dunia tu, lakini kilichoko kwa Mwenyezi Mungu ni bora na cha kudumu zaidi kwa ajili ya walioamini na wakawa wanamtegemea Mola wao Mlezi.
Allt ni har fått [av världsliga ting] är bara en flyktig njutning i detta jordeliv, medan det som finns hos Gud är bättre och mer varaktigt – för de som tror och uteslutande förlitar sig på sin Herre.
Size verilen herhangi bir şey dünya hayatının bir geçimliğidir/metaıdır. Allah katında olanlar ise, iman edenler ve yalnızca Rablerine tevekkül edenler için daha hayırlı ve daha kalıcıdır.
تو تمہیں جو کچھ دیا گیا ہے وه زندگانی دنیا کا کچھ یونہی سا اسباب ہے[1] ، اور اللہ کے پاس جو ہے وه اس سے بدرجہ بہتر[2] اور پائیدار ہے، وه ان کے لیے ہے جو ایمان ﻻئے اور صرف اپنے رب ہی پر بھروسہ رکھتے ہیں.
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.

Or He could wreck them, because of what they have earned. And yet He pardons much.
Or He causeth them to perish on account of that which they have earned - And He forgiveth much
or He makes them founder for what they have earned; but He pardons much
Or if, for their ill deserts, He cause them to founder, still He forgiveth much
Or He destroyeth them by shipwreck, because of that which their crews have merited; though He pardoneth many things

In plain words — none yet for this verse
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 — 0.52 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.

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.
