Thuaj (o Muhamed): "Vërtet, Zoti im më përudhi në rrugën e drejtë, në fenë e vërtetë, në besimin e pastër të Ibrahimit, i cili nuk ishte idhujtar."
বল: ‘নিশ্চয় আমার রব আমাকে সরল সঠিক পথের হিদায়াত দিয়েছেন। তা সুপ্রতিষ্ঠিত দীন, ইবরাহীমের একনিষ্ঠ আদর্শ, সে মুশরিকদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত ছিল না।’
Reci: "Mene je Gospodar moj na Pravi put, zaista, uputio, u pravu vjeru, vjeru Ibrahima pravovjernika, a on višebožac nije bio."
Reci: "Mene je Gospodar moj na Pravi put, zaista, uputio, u pravu vjeru, vjeru Abrahama pravovjernika, a on mnogobožac nije bio."
Maaku : "Min, Joomi am Fewni kam faade e laawol pocciingol, diine ñiiɓuka, diine Ibraahiima, ooñiiɗo [e diineeji meere] ; o jeyanooka e sirkooɓe ɓeen".
უთხარი (ო, მოციქულო): «ჭეშმარიტად, ჩემმა უფალმა მიმიძღვა სწორი გზისკენ, სწორ სარწმუნოებაზე, იბრაჰიმის თემზე, ჰანიფზე [ერთღმერთიანზე]. და არ იყო იგი [წინასწარმეტყველი იბრაჰიმი] მრავალღმერთიანთა შორის».
Sag: „Wahrlich, mich hat mein Herr zu einem geraden Weg geleitet, einer richtigen Religion, der Glaubensrichtung Ibrahims, als Anhänger des rechten Glaubens, und er war keiner der Götzendiener.“
Πες (ω, Προφήτη): «Πράγματι, ο Κύριός μου με καθοδήγησε σε ένα ίσιο μονοπάτι, μια ορθή θρησκεία, τη θρησκεία του Αβραάμ, ο οποίος (ο Αβράαμ) ήταν Χανείφαν (απέκλινε από όλα τα μάταια δόγματα, ακολουθώντας και τείνοντας προς την αληθινή πίστη), και δεν ήταν απ' εκείνους που απέδιδαν εταίρους στον Αλλάχ στη λατρεία.»
(ऐ नबी!) आप कह दें कि यकीनन मेरे पालनहार ने मुझे सीधी राह दिखा दी है। वही सीधा धर्म, जो एकेश्वरवादी इबराहीम का धर्म था। और वह बहुदेववादियों में से न था।
Di’: «In verità mi ha guidato il mio Dio a una retta via, a una fede retta, la religione di Ibrāhīm, il monoteista, che non fu tra gli idolatri”.
161. Sakyk (Muchammedai ﷺ ): „Iš tiesų, mano Viešpats išvedė mane į Tiesų Kelią, teisingą tikėjimą, Ibrahimo (Abraomo) tikėjimą, Hanifa [t. y. islamiškąjį monoteizmą – tikėti Vieną Dievą (Allahą, t. y. negarbinti nieko kito tik Allahą, Vienintelį)] ir jis nebuvo iš Al-Mušrikūn (žr. ają 2:105).“
Jedhi "Ani Gooftaan kiyya na qajeelchee jira gara karaa qajeelaa, amantii sirrii kan karaa Ibraahiim, ‘haniifa (haqatti asgoraa)’ (Rabbii tokkicha gabbaruu) ta’etti, Inni mushrikoota irraa hin turre".
Скажи: «Воистину, мой Господь наставил меня к прямому пути — истинной религии — вероучению Ибрахима, приверженца единобожия. И он не был из придающих Аллаху сотоварищей».
Реци: „Мене је Господар мој на Прави пут заиста упутио, у праву веру, веру правоверника Аврама, а он није био од оних који су друге поред Аллаха обожавали.“
Sema: "Hakika mimi, Mola wangu Mlezi ameniongoa kwenye njia iliyonyooka, dini iliyo sawa kabisa, mila ya Ibrahim aliyekuwa mnyofu, wala hakuwa miongoni mwa washirikina."
Säg: ”Min Herre har väglett mig till en rak väg – en upprätt tro av ren monoteism; Abrahams lära. Han var aldrig någon avgudadyrkare.”
De ki: “Hiç şüphesiz Rabbim, beni dosdoğru bir yola, dimdik ayakta duran bir dine, hanîf olan İbrahim’in dinine iletti. O, müşriklerden olmadı.”
آپ کہہ دیجئے کہ مجھ کو میرے رب نے ایک سیدھا راستہ بتادیا ہے کہ وه ایک دین مستحکم ہے جو طریقہ ہے ابراہیم (علیہ السلام) کا جو اللہ کی طرف یکسو تھے۔ اور وه شرک کرنے والوں میں سے نہ تھے۔
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.

As for those who divided their religion and became sects-you have nothing to do with them. Their case rests with God; then He will inform them of what they used to do.

The translators word this verse differently
Whoever comes up with a good deed will have ten times its like; and whoever comes up with an evil deed will be repaid only with its equivalent-they will not be wronged.
Whoso bringeth a good deed will receive tenfold the like thereof, while whoso bringeth an ill-deed will be awarded but the like thereof; and they will not be wronged
He who brings a good work shall have ten like it; but he who brings a bad work shall be recompensed only with the like thereof, for they shall not be wronged
He who shall present himself with good works shall receive a tenfold reward; but he who shall present himself with evil works shall receive none other than a like punishment: and they shall not be treated unjustly
He who shall appear with good works, shall receive a tenfold recompense for the same; but he who shall appear with evil works, shall receive only an equal punishment for the same; and they shall not be treated unjustly
6:161 — the verse above

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 — 0.59 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.
