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.
The path of God, to whom belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Indeed, to God all matters revert.

në rrugën e Allahut, të Cilit i takon gjithçka që gjendet në qiej e në Tokë. Vini re! Tek Allahu kthehen të gjitha çështjet.
তা হলো সেই আল্লাহর পথ, যিনি আসমানসমূহ ও জমিনে যা কিছু আছে, তার মালিক। জেনে রাখো, (শেষ পর্যন্ত) সব বিষয়ই আল্লাহর কাছে ফিরে যাবে।
na put Allahov, Kome pripada sve što je na nebesima i sve što je na Zemlji. I, eto, Allahu se sve vraća!

laawol Allah, On jeyɗo ko woni kammuuji e ka leydi. ganndee, ko ka Allah, fiyakuuji ɗin nduttotoo.
ალლაჰის გზაზე, რომელსაც ეკუთვნის ყოველივე, რაც ცათა შინაა და რაც მიწაზეა. უეჭველად, ალლაჰთან ბრუნდება ყოველი საქმე.
(nämlich zum) Weg Allahs, Dem gehört, was in den Himmeln und was auf der Erde ist. Sicherlich, zu Allah nehmen die Angelegenheiten ihren Ausgang.
το δρόμο του Αλλάχ, στον Οποίο ανήκει ό,τι βρίσκεται στους ουρανούς, και ό,τι βρίσκεται στη γη. Πράγματι, προς τον Αλλάχ επιστρέφουν όλα τα θέματα.
उस अल्लाह की राह की ओर कि जो कुछ आकाशों में है और जो कुछ धरती में है, उसी का है। सुनो! सभी मामले अल्लाह ही की ओर लौटते हैं।
la via di Allāh, a Cui appartiene ciò che è nei cieli e ciò che è in terra. In verità ad Allāh tornano tutte le cose.
53. Kelią Allaho, Kuriam priklauso viskas, kas yra danguose, ir viskas, kas yra žemėje. Iš tiesų, visi reikalai galiausiai eina pas Allahą (sprendimui).
Karaa Rabbii wanti samiilee keessa jiruufi wanti dachii keessa jiru hundi kan Isaa ta’ee (ni qajeelchita). Dhagayaa! Dhimmi hundi garuma Rabbiitti deebi’a.
путь Аллаха, Которому принадлежит всё, что в небесах, и всё, что на земле. Знайте же: к Аллаху возвращаются [все] дела.
на Аллахов пут, Коме припада све што је на небесима и све што је на Земљи. А зар се Аллаху неће све вратити?
Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu ambaye ni vyake Yeye tu vilivyomo mbinguni na katika ardhi. Jueni kuwa mambo yote yanarudi kwa Mwenyezi Mungu.
vägen till Gud, som allt i himlarna och på jorden tillhör. Förmärk väl! Allt ska i slutänden vända åter till Gud.
Göklerdeki ve yerdeki her şeyin sahibi olan Allah’ın yoluna. İyi bilin ki, bütün işler sonunda Allah’a döner.
اس اللہ کی راه کی[1] جس کی ملکیت میں آسمانوں اور زمین کی ہر چیز ہے۔ آگاه رہو سب کام اللہ تعالیٰ ہی کی طرف لوٹتے ہیں.[2]
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.
shown so it's never read alone

It is not for any human that God should speak to him, except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger to reveal by His permission whatever He wills. He is All-High, All-Wise.
And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that) He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted, Wise
It is not for any mortal that God should speak to him, except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by sending an apostle and inspiring, by His permission, what He pleases; verily, He is high and wise
It is not for man that God should speak with him but by vision, or from behind a veil: Or, He sendeth a messenger to reveal, by his permission, what He will: for He is Exalted, Wise
It is not fit for man, that God should speak unto him otherwise than by private revelation, or from behind a veil, or by his sending of a messenger to reveal, by his permission, that which He pleaseth; for He is high and wise

We thus inspired you spiritually, by Our command. You did not know what the Scripture is, nor what faith is, but We made it a light, with which We guide whomever We will of Our servants. You surely guide to a straight path.
And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path
And thus have we inspired thee by a spirit at our bidding; thou didst not know what the Book was, nor the faith: but we made it a light whereby we guide whom we will of our servants. And, verily, thou shalt surely be guided into the right way
Thus have we sent the Spirit (Gabriel) to thee with a revelation, by our command. Thou knewest not, ere this, what "the Book" was, or what the faith. But we have ordained it for a light: by it will we guide whom we please of our servants. And thou shalt surely guide into the right way
Thus have We revealed unto thee a revelation, by our command. Thou didst not understand, before this, what the book of the Koran was, nor what the faith was: But We have ordained the same for a light; We will thereby direct such of our servants as We please: And thou shalt surely direct them into the right way

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.

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.
