The bismillah opens this surah. It belongs to the surah, not to verse 1, and is shown unnumbered as a mushaf shows it.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

O ju që besoni! Mos dilni para (urdhrit të) Allahut e të Dërguarit të Tij dhe kijeni frikë Allahun! Vërtet, Allahu është Gjithëdëgjues, i Gjithëdijshëm.
হে তোমরা যারা ঈমান এনেছ! তোমরা আল্লাহ ও তাঁর রাসূলের সামনে অগ্রবর্তী হয়ো না এবং তোমরা তাঁকে ভয় করো। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ সর্বশ্রোতা, সর্বজ্ঞ।
O vi koji vjerujete, ne istupajte ispred Allaha i Poslanika Njegova, i bojte se Allaha! Allah je, zaista, Onaj Koji sve čuje i Onaj Koji sve zna.
O vi koji vjerujete, ne istupajte ispred Allaha i Poslanika Njegova, i bojte se Allaha! Allah je, zaista, Onaj Koji sve čuje i Onaj Koji sve zna.
Eey mon yo ɓen gooŋɗinɓe ! wota on adito ye'eso Allah e Nulaaɗo makko on. Hulee Allah. Pellet, Allah ko Nanoowo, Ji'oowo.
ჰეი, თქვენ, რომელთაც ირწმუნეთ! ნუ უსწრებთ ალლაჰსა და მის შუამავალს (გადაწყვეტილების მიღებაში) და გეშინოდეთ ალლაჰის, რადგან ალლაჰი ყოვლისმსმენი, ყოვლისმცოდნეა!
O die ihr glaubt, kommt nicht Allah und Seinem Gesandten zuvor und fürchtet Allah. Wahrlich, Allah ist allhörend und allwissend.
Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε! Μην επισπεύδετε στο να αποφασίσετε κάτι (στη θρησκεία ή στις μάχες σας) πριν κριθεί από τον Αλλάχ και τον Αγγελιαφόρο Του. Φυλαχθείτε από την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ (τηρώντας τις εντολές Του). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι Σαμεί‘ (Αυτός που ακούει τα πάντα) και ‘Αλείμ (Παντογνώστης).
ऐ लोगो जो ईमान लाए हो! अल्लाह और उसके रसूल से आगे न बढ़ो[1] और अल्लाह का डर रखो। निश्चय ही अल्लाह सब कुछ सुनने वाला, सब कुछ जानने वाला है।
O Credenti, non anticipate gli ordini di Allāh e del Suo Messaggero, e temete Allāh, e in verità Allāh è l’Ascoltatore, il Sapiente.
1. O jūs, kurie tikite! Nepriimkite (sprendimo) anksčiau [1] už Allahą ir Jo Pranašą (ﷺ) ir bijokite Allaho. Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Visa Girdintis, Visa Žinantis.
Yaa warra amantan! Rabbiifi ergamaa Isaa dura hin dabrinaa. Rabbiin sodaadhaa. Rabbiin dhagayaa, beekaadha. [1]
О вы, которые уверовали! Не опережайте Аллаха и Его Посланника и бойтесь Аллаха. Воистину, Аллах — слышащий, знающий.
О верници, не одлучујте се ни за шта док за то не упитате Аллаха и Његовог Посланика, и бојте се Аллаха! Аллах, заиста, све чује и све зна.
Enyi mlioamini! Msitangulie mbele ya Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume wake, na mcheni Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kusikia mno, Mwenye kujua zaidi.
Troende! Föregå inte Gud och hans sändebud [med era beslut], utan frukta Gud! Gud hör allt, vet allt.
Ey iman edenler! (Hiçbir işte) Allah ve resulünden öne geçmeyin ve Allah'tan korkup sakının.Şüphesiz Allah; her şeyi işitendir, görendir.
اے ایمان والے لوگو! اللہ اور اس کے رسول سے آگے نہ بڑھو[1] اور اللہ سے ڈرتے رہا کرو۔ یقیناً اللہ تعالیٰ سننے واﻻ، جاننے واﻻ ہے.
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.

49:1 — the verse above
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَرْفَعُوٓا۟ أَصْوَٰتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ وَلَا تَجْهَرُوا۟ لَهُۥ بِٱلْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَن تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَٰلُكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ

O you who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, and do not speak loudly to him, as you speak loudly to one another, lest your works be in vain without you realizing.
O ye who believe! Lift not up your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor shout when speaking to him as ye shout one to another, lest your works be rendered vain while ye perceive not
O ye who believe! raise not your voices above the voice of the prophet, and do not speak loud to him as ye speak loud to one another, lest your works become vain, while ye do not perceive

Those who lower their voices before God's Messenger-those are they whose hearts God has tested for piety. They will have forgiveness and a great reward.
Lo! they who subdue their voices in the presence of the messenger of Allah, those are they whose hearts Allah hath proven unto righteousness. Theirs will be forgiveness and immense reward
Verily, those who lower their voice before the Apostle of God, they are those whose hearts God has proved for piety, for them is forgiveness and a mighty hire

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 — 0.74 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.
