E përse të mos e besojmë Allahun dhe të vërtetën që na erdhi, kur ne shpresojmë që Zoti ynë të na pranojë (në Xhenet) me njerëzit e mirë."
আর (তারা আরো বলে) আমাদের কী হয়েছে যে, আমরা আল্লাহর প্রতি এবং যে সত্য আমাদের কাছে এসেছে তার প্রতি ঈমান আনবো না? অথচ আমরা আশা করি যে, আমাদের রব আমাদেরকে সৎকর্মশীল সম্প্রদায়ের সাথে (জান্নাতে) প্রবেশ করাবেন।
Zašto da ne vjerujemo u Allaha i u istinu koja nam dolazi, kada žudimo da i nas Gospodar naš uvede s ljudima dobrim."
Zašto da ne vjerujemo u Allaha i u istinu koja nam dolazi, kada žudimo da i nas Gospodar naš uvede s ljudima dobrim."

და რატომ არ უნდა ვირწმუნოთ ალლაჰი და ის ჭეშმარიტება, რომელიც ჩვენთან მოვიდა, როცა ჩვენ გვსურს, რომ ჩვენმა უფალმა შეგვიყვანოს სამოთხეში მართალ ადამიანებთან ერთად [მათთან, ვინც ალლაჰს დაემორჩილნენ]?»
Warum sollten wir denn nicht an Allah glauben und an das, was von der Wahrheit zu uns gekommen ist, und begehren, dass uns unser Herr zusammen mit dem rechtschaffenen Volk (in den Paradiesgarten) eingehen lasse?
Και γιατί να μην πιστέψουμε στον Αλλάχ και σε ό,τι ήρθε σε μας από την αλήθεια; Στ' αλήθεια, ευχόμαστε ο Κύριός μας να μας εισάγει (στον Παράδεισο την Ημέρα της Κρίσεως) μαζί με τους ενάρετους.»
और हमें क्या है कि हम अल्लाह पर तथा उस सत्य पर ईमान न लाएँ, जो हमारे पास आया है? जबकि हम आशा रखते हैं कि हमारा पालनहार हमें सदाचारियों के साथ दाखिल कर लेगा।
E come possiamo non credere in Allāh e in ciò che ci è arrivato della Verità? E desideriamo che il nostro Dio ci unisca al popolo dei timorati!”
84. „Ir kodėl mes turėtume netikėti Allahą ir tuo, kas pas mus atėjo iš tiesos (islamiškąjį monoteizmą)? Ir mes norime, kad mūsų Viešpats priimtų mus (į Rojų Prikėlimo Dieną) kartu su teisingais žmonėmis (Pranašu Muchammedu ﷺ ir jo kompanjonais (lai Allahas būna jais patenkintas)).“

Почему бы нам не уверовать в Аллаха и в ту истину, что пришла к нам, и [почему бы] нам не надеяться, что Господь наш введёт нас [в Рай] вместе с праведными людьми?»
Зашто да не верујемо у Аллаха и у Истину која нам долази, када жудимо да Господар наш и нас уведе са добрим људима.“
Na kwa nini tusimwamini Mwenyezi Mungu na haki iliyotujia, na hali tunatumai Mola wetu Mlezi atuingize pamoja na kaumu ya walio wema?
Och varför skulle vi inte tro på Gud och på den sanning som har kommit till oss, när vi hoppas att vår Herre ska låta oss träda in [i paradiset] tillsammans med de rättfärdiga människorna?”
Rabbimizin bizi salih kimselerle birlikte (Cennet'e) sokmasını umarken ne diye Allah’a ve bize gelen hakka iman etmeyelim ki?
اور ہمارے پاس کون سا عذر ہے کہ ہم اللہ تعالیٰ پر اور جو حق ہم کو پہنچا ہے اس پر ایمان نہ ﻻئیں اور ہم اس بات کی امید رکھتے ہیں کہ ہمارا رب ہم کو نیک لوگوں کی رفاقت میں داخل کردے گا۔[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.

You will find that the people most hostile towards the believers are the Jews and the polytheists. And you will find that the nearest in affection towards the believers are those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks, and they are not arrogant.
Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) the Jews and the idolaters. And thou wilt find the nearest of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: Lo! We are Christians. That is because there are among them priests and monks, and because they are not proud
Thou wilt surely find that the strongest in enmity against those who believe are the Jews and the idolaters; and thou wilt find the nearest in love to those who believe to be those who say, 'We are Christians;' that is because there are amongst them priests and monks, and because they are not proud
Of all men thou wilt certainly find the Jews, and those who join other gods with God, to be the most intense in hatred of those who believe; and thou shalt certainly find those to be nearest in affection to them who say, "We are Christians." This, because some of them are priests and monks, and because they are free from pride
Thou shalt surely find the most violent of all men in enmity against the true believers, to be the Jews, and the idolaters: And thou shalt surely find those among them to be the most inclinable to entertain friendship for the true believers, who say, we are Christians. This cometh to pass, because there are priests and monks among them; and because they are not elated with pride

Allah hath rewarded them for that their saying - Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. That is the reward of the good

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 — 0.50 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.
