Thuaju: "Vallë, Allahut po i tregoni për fenë tuaj, ndërkohë që Allahu di gjithçka që gjendet në qiej e në Tokë?! Allahu është i Gjithëdijshëm për çdo gjë."
হে রাসূল! তুমি বলো: ‘তোমরা কি তোমাদের দ্বীন সম্পর্কে আল্লাহকে শিক্ষা দিচ্ছ? অথচ আল্লাহ জানেন, যা কিছু আছে আসমানসমূহে এবং যা কিছু আছে জমিনে। আর আল্লাহ সকল কিছু সম্পর্কে সম্যক অবগত।’

უთხარი (ო, შუამავალო) (ბედუინებს): «განა თქვენ აცნობებთ ალლაჰს თქვენი რწმენის შესახებ, მაშინ როცა ალლაჰმა იცის (ყველაფერი), რაც ცაში და დედამიწაზეა? და ალლაჰმა იცის ყოველივე».
Sag: „Wollt ihr Allah über eure Religion belehren, wo Allah doch weiß, was in den Himmeln und was auf der Erde ist? Und Allah ist über alles wissend.“
Πες (ω, Προφήτη): «Ενημερώνετε τον Αλλάχ για την πίστη σας, ενώ ο Αλλάχ γνωρίζει όλα όσα υπάρχουν στους ουρανούς και όλα όσα υπάρχουν στη γη; Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι ο Παντογνώστης.»
आप कह दें : क्या तुम अल्लाह को अपने धर्म से अवगत करा रहे हो? हालाँकि अल्लाह जानता है, जो कुछ आकाशों में है और जो धरती में है। तथा अल्लाह प्रत्येक वस्तु को ख़ूब जानने वाला है।
Di’: “Volete forse insegnare ad Allāh la vostra fede, ad Allāh che sa ciò che è nei cieli e in terra?” E Allāh è Conoscitore di ogni cosa.
16. Sakyk: „Argi jūs pranešite Allahui apie jūsų religiją, kuomet Allahas žino viską, kas yra danguose ir žemėje? Ir Allahas yra Visa Žinantis apie viską.“
Jedhi: “Amantii keessan Rabbiin beysiistanii? Rabbiin waan samiilee keessa jiruufi waan dachii keessa jiru ni beeka. Rabbiin waan hunda beekaadha.”
Скажи: «Неужели вы сообщаете Аллаху о вашей религии — а ведь Аллах знает всё, что в небесах, и всё, что на земле?! Аллах — знающий обо всём сущем».
Реци: „Зар ви да обавештавате Аллаха о своме веровању, кад Аллах зна све што је на небесима и на Земљи! Аллах све зна.“
Sema: 'Ati ndio mnamfundisha Mwenyezi Mungu Dini yenu, na hali Mwenyezi Mungu anayajua ya katika mbingu na ardhi, na Mwenyezi Mungu anajua vyema kila kitu?'
Säg: ”Ska ni upplysa Gud om er tro när han redan vet allt som finns i himlarna och på jorden? Ja, Gud har full vetskap om allt.”
De ki: "Siz dininizi Allah'a mı öğretiyorsunuz? Allah, göklerde ve yerde ne varsa bilir. Allah, her şeyi hakkıyla bilendir."
کہہ دیجئے! کہ کیا تم اللہ تعالیٰ کو اپنی دینداری سے آگاه کر رہے ہو[1] ، اللہ ہر اس چیز سے جو آسمانوں میں اور زمین میں ہے بخوبی آگاه ہے۔ اور اللہ ہر چیز کا جاننے واﻻ ہے.[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.

The Desert-Arabs say, "We have believed." Say, "You have not believed; but say, 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered into your hearts. But if you obey God and His Messenger, He will not diminish any of your deeds. God is Forgiving and Merciful."
The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye believe not, but rather say "We submit," for the faith hath not yet entered into your hearts. Yet, if ye obey Allah and His messenger, He will not withhold from you aught of (the reward of) your deeds. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful
The desert Arabs say, 'We believe.' Say, 'Ye do not believe; but say, "We have become Muslims;" for the faith has not entered into your hearts: but if ye obey God and His Apostle He will not defraud you of your works at all: verily, God is forgiving, compassionate
The Arabs of the desert say, "We believe." Say thou: Ye believe not; but rather say, "We profess Islam;" for the faith hath not yet found its way into your hearts. But if ye obey God and His Apostle, he will not allow you to lose any of your actions: for God is Indulgent, Merciful
The Arabs of the desert say, we believe. Answer, ye do by no means believe; but say, we have embraced Islam: For the faith hath not yet entered into your hearts. If ye obey God and his apostle, He will not defraud you of any part of the merit of your works: For God is inclined to forgive, and merciful

The believers are those who believe in God and His Messenger, and then have not doubted, and strive for God's cause with their wealth and their persons. These are the sincere.

The translators word this verse differently
They regarded it a favor to you that they have submitted. Say, "Do not consider your submission a favor to me; it is God who has done you a favor by guiding you to the faith, if you are sincere."
They make it a favour unto thee (Muhammad) that they have surrendered (unto Him). Say: Deem not your Surrender a favour unto me; but Allah doth confer a favour on you, inasmuch as He hath led you to the Faith, if ye are earnest
They deem that they oblige thee by becoming Muslims. Say, 'Nay! deem not that ye oblige me by your becoming Muslims! God obliges you, by directing you to the faith, if ye do speak the truth
They taunt thee with their having embraced Islam. SAY: Taunt me not with your having embraced Islam: God rather taunteth you with His having guided you to the faith: acknowledge this if ye are sincere
They upbraid thee that they have embraced Islam. Answer, upbraid me not with your having embraced Islam: Rather God upbraideth you, that He hath directed you to the faith; if ye speak sincerely

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 — 0.58 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.
