O ju që besoni! Bindjuni Allahut dhe bindjuni të Dërguarit e mos i prishni veprat tuaja!
হে মু’মিনগণ! তোমরা আল্লাহর আনুগত্য করো এবং রাসূলের আনুগত্য করো। আর তোমরা তোমাদের আমলসমূহ বিনষ্ট করো না।
O vjernici, pokoravajte se Allahu i pokoravajte se Poslaniku, i ne ništite djela svoja!

Eey mon yo gooŋɗinɓe! ɗoftee Allah, ɗoftoɗon Nulaaɗo on, wata on mbonnu golle mon ɗeen.
ჰეი, თქვენ, რომელთაც ირწმუნეთ! იყავით მორჩილნი ალლაჰისა [გააკეთეთ ის, რაც მან ბრძანა თავის წიგნში], და მორჩილნი შუამავლისა [გააკეთეთ ის, რაც ალლაჰმა ბრძანა თავისი შუამავლის მეშვეობით], და ნუ ქმნით თქვენს ნამოქმედარს ამაოდ.
O die ihr glaubt, gehorcht Allah und gehorcht dem Gesandten und macht eure Taten nicht zunichte.
Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε! Υπακούστε τον Αλλάχ και υπακούστε τον Αγγελιαφόρο και μην κάνετε τις πράξεις σας να γίνουν μάταιες (με την ανυπακοή).
ऐ लोगो जो ईमान लाए हो! अल्लाह का आज्ञापालन करो और रसूल का आज्ञापालन करो[12] तथा अपने कर्मों को व्यर्थ न करो।
O credenti! Obbedite ad Allh e obbedite al Suo Messaggero, e non rendete vane le vostre azioni!

О вы, которые уверовали! Повинуйтесь Аллаху и повинуйтесь Посланнику, и не делайте тщетными свои деяния.
О ви који верујете, покоравајте се Аллаху и покоравајте се Посланику, и не поништавајте своја дела!
Enyi mlioamini! Mtiini Mwenyezi Mungu, na mtiini Mtume, wala msiviharibu vitendo vyenu.
Troende! Lyd Gud och lyd sändebudet, och låt inte era goda handlingar gå förlorade.
Ey iman edenler! Allah’a itaat edin, Peygamber'e itaat edin ve amellerinizi boşa çıkarmayın.
اے ایمان والو! اللہ کی اطاعت کرو اور رسول کا کہا مانو اور اپنے اعمال کو غارت نہ کرو.[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.
shown so it's never read alone

We will certainly test you, until We know those among you who strive, and those who are steadfast, and We will test your reactions.
And verily We shall try you till We know those of you who strive hard (for the cause of Allah) and the steadfast, and till We test your record
But we will try you until we know those among you who fight strenuously and the patient; and we will try the reports concerning you
And we will surely test you, until we know the valiant and the steadfast among you: and we will test the reports of your conduct
And We will try you, until We know those among you who fight valiantly, and who persevere with constancy; and We will try the reports of your behaviour

The translators word this verse differently
Those who disbelieve, and hinder from the path of God, and oppose the Messenger after guidance has become clear to them-they will not hurt God in the least, but He will nullify their deeds.
Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and oppose the messenger after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, they hurt Allah not a jot, and He will make their actions fruitless
Verily, those who misbelieve and turn folks off God's path, and break with the Apostle after the guidance that has been manifested to them, cannot harm God at all, and their works shall be void
Verily they who believe not, and turn others from the way of God, and separate from the Apostle after that "the guidance" hath been clearly shewn them, shall in no way injure God: but their works shall he bring to nought
Verily those who believe not, and turn away men from the way of God, and make opposition against the apostle, after the divine direction hath been manifested unto them, shall not hurt God at all; but He shall make their works to perish
47:33 — the verse above
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ مَاتُوا۟ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ

Those who disbelieve, and hinder from God's path, and then die as disbelievers-God will not forgive them.
Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and then die disbelievers, Allah surely will not pardon them
Verily, those who misbelieve and turn folks off God's path, and then die misbelievers, God will not pardon them
Verily those who believe not, and who pervert others from the way of God, and then die in unbelief, God will not forgive
Verily those who believe not, and who turn away men from the way of God, and then die, being unbelievers, God will by no means forgive

So do not waver and call for peace while you have the upper hand. God is with you, and He will not waste your efforts.
So do not falter and cry out for peace when ye (will be) the uppermost, and Allah is with you, and He will not grudge (the reward of) your actions
Then faint not, nor cry for peace while ye have the upper hand; for God is with you and will not cheat you of your works
Be not fainthearted then; and invite not the infidels to peace when ye have the upper hand: for God is with you, and will not defraud you of the recompense of your works
Faint not therefore, neither invite your enemies to peace, while ye are the superior: For God is with you, and will not defraud you of the merit of your works

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 — 0.57 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.
