No calamity occurs on earth, or in your souls, but it is in a Book, even before We make it happen. That is easy for God.

S'ka fatkeqësi që ju godet në tokë ose në veten tuaj, që të mos jetë e shënuar në një Libër[2], para se ta krijojmë atë, – e kjo për Allahun është e lehtë, –
জমিনে এবং তোমাদের নিজেদের মধ্যে এমন কোন বিপর্যয় আপতিত হয় না, যা আমি সংঘটিত করার পূর্বে কিতাবে (আল-লাওহুল মাহফূযে) লিপিবদ্ধ রাখি না। নিশ্চয় এটা আল্লাহর পক্ষে খুবই সহজ।(১৮)

რა უბედურებაც არ უნდა მოხდეს მიწაზე [გვალვა, შიმშილი და სხვ.] ან თქვენს სულებში [დაავადება, დაჭრა და სხვ.], იგი უკვე ჩაწერილი იყო ადრე (დაცულ ფურცელზე), ვიდრე ჩვენ მას შევქმნიდით. ჭეშმარიტად, ეს ალლაჰისთვის ადვილია!
Kein Unglück trifft ein auf der Erde oder bei euch selbst, außer dass es in einem Buch (verzeichnet) wäre, bevor Wir es erschaffen - wahrlich, dies ist Allah ein Leichtes -,
Καμιά συμφορά δεν πέφτει στη γη ή σε σας, παρά να είναι γραμμένη σε ένα Βιβλίο (Αλ-Λάουχ Αλ-Μαχφούδ) πριν να τους δημιουργήσουμε (τους ανθρώπους, τους ουρανούς και τη γη). Πράγματι, αυτό είναι πολύ εύκολο για τον Αλλάχ.
धरती में तथा तुम्हारे प्राणों पर जो भी विपदा आती है, वह एक किताब में अंकित है, इससे पहले कि हम उसे पैदा करें।[14] निश्चय यह अल्लाह के लिए बहुत आसान है।
Non capita sventura in terra, né a voi stessi, che non sia stata già scritta in un Libro prima che avvenga – e ciò è in verità facile per Allāh –

Не постигает никакое бедствие ни на земле, ни в вас самих, кроме как оно уже записано в Писании до того, как Мы сотворили это. Воистину, это для Аллаха легко.
Нема несреће која задеси Земљу и вас, а која није, пре него што је дамо, записана у Књизи - то је Аллаху, заиста, лако -
Hautokei msiba katika ardhi wala katika nafsi zenu ila umekwishaandikwa katika Kitabu kabla ni mepesi.
Ingen olycka – varken på jorden eller i er själva – sker utan att den redan står nedtecknad i en bok innan vi låter den ske; detta är sannerligen lätt för Gud.
Yeryüzünde ve kendi nefislerinizde uğradığınız hiçbir musibet yoktur ki, biz onu yaratmadan önce bir kitapta (Levh-i Mahfuz’da) yazılmış olmasın. Şüphesiz bu, Allah’a göre kolaydır.
نہ کوئی مصیبت دنیا میں آتی ہے[1] نہ (خاص) تمہاری جانوں میں[2]، مگر اس سے پہلے کہ ہم اس کو پیدا کریں وه ایک خاص کتاب میں لکھی ہوئی ہے[3]، یہ (کام) اللہ تعالیٰ پر (بالکل) آسان 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.

The translators word this verse differently
Know that the worldly life is only play, and distraction, and glitter, and boasting among you, and rivalry in wealth and children. It is like a rainfall that produces plants, and delights the disbelievers. But then it withers, and you see it yellowing, and then it becomes debris. While in the Hereafter there is severe agony, and forgiveness from God, and acceptance. The life of this world is nothing but enjoyment of vanity.
Know that the life of the world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children; as the likeness of vegetation after rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman, but afterward it drieth up and thou seest it turning yellow, then it becometh straw. And in the Hereafter there is grievous punishment, and (also) forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure, whereas the life of the world is but matter of illusion
Know that the life of this world is but a sport, and a play, and an adornment, and something to boast of amongst yourselves; and the multiplying of children is like a rain-growth, its vegetation pleases the misbelievers; then they wither away, and thou mayest see them become yellow; then they become but grit. But in the hereafter is a severe woe, and forgiveness from God and His goodwill; but the life of this world is but a chattel of guile
Know ye that this world's life is only a sport, and pastime, and show, and a cause of vainglory among you! And the multiplying of riches and children is like the plants which spring up after rain - Their growth rejoiceth the husband-man; then they wither away, and thou seest them all yellow; then they become stubble. And in the next life is a severe chastisement, Or else pardon from God and His satisfaction: and this world's life is but a cheating fruition
Know that this present life is only a toy and a vain amusement: And worldly pomp, and the affectation of glory among you, and the multiplying of riches and children, are as the plants nourished by the rain, the springing up whereof delighteth the husbandmen; afterwards they wither, so that thou seest the same turned yellow, and at length they become dry stubble. And in the life to come will be a severe punishment for those who covet worldly grandeur; and pardon from God, and favour for those who renounce it: For this present life is no other than a deceitful provision

The translators word this verse differently
That you may not sorrow over what eludes you, nor exult over what He has given you. God does not love the proud snob.
That ye grieve not for the sake of that which hath escaped you, nor yet exult because of that which hath been given. Allah loveth not all prideful boasters
That ye may not vex yourselves for what ye miss, nor be overjoyed at what He gives you; for God loves no arrogant boaster
Lest ye distress yourselves if good things escape you, and be over joyous for what falleth to your share. God loveth not the presumptuous, the boaster
And this is written lest ye immoderately grieve for the good which escapeth you, or rejoice for that which happeneth unto you; for God loveth no proud or vain-glorious person

Those who are stingy, and induce people to be stingy. Whoever turns away-God is the Independent, the Praiseworthy.
Who hoard and who enjoin upon the people avarice. And whosoever turneth away, still Allah is the Absolute, the Owner of Praise
who are niggardly and bid men be niggardly: but whoso turns his back, verily, God is rich, praiseworthy
Who are covetous themselves and incite others to covetousness. But whose turneth away from almsgiving - Ah! God is the Rich, the Praiseworthy
or those who are covetous, and command men covetousness. And whoso turneth aside from giving alms; verily God is self-sufficient, worthy to be praised

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 — 0.62 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.
