të falim namazin dhe të kemi frikë nga Ai." Është Ai para të Cilit do të tuboheni.
আর তোমরা সালাত কায়িম করো এবং তাঁকে ভয় করো। আর তাঁর কাছেই তোমাদেরকে সমবেত করা হবে।
i da namaz obavljamo i da se Njega bojimo; On je Taj pred Kojim ćete biti sakupljeni,
i da molitvu obavljamo i da se Njega bojimo"; On je Taj pred Kojim ćete biti sakupljeni,
e wonnde ñiiɓnee juulde nde kulon Mo. Ko Kaŋko woni on mo mooɓoyteɗon ka Mum.
და (ასევე ჩვენ გვებრძანა): «შეასრულეთ ლოცვა და ერიდეთ მას (მის სასჯელს), და მხოლოდ ის [ალლაჰი] არის ის, ვისთანაც თქვენ ყველანი იქნებით შეკრებილნი (სასამართლოს დღეს)!»
Und ihr sollt das Gebet verrichten und Ihn fürchten! Und Er ist es, zu Dem ihr versammelt werdet.
(Επίσης έχουμε διαταχθεί:) και το να τελείτε την προσευχή και να φυλαχθείτε από την τιμωρία Του (τηρώντας τις εντολές Του).» Πράγματι, προς Αυτόν θα συγκεντρωθείτε.»
और यह कि नमाज़ स्थापित करो और उस (अल्लाह) से डरो, तथा वही है, जिसकी ओर तुम इकट्ठे किए जाओगे।
E praticate la preghiera con devozione e temeteLo! È a Lui che voi sarete riuniti!
72. Ir atlikti As-Salat (Ikamat-as-Salat), ir būti paklusniems Allahui ir bijoti Jo, ir Jis yra Tas, pas Kurį mes būsime surinkti.
Salaata gadidhaabaa, isa (Rabbiin) sodaadhaa, Inni Isa (guyyaa qiyaamaa kaafamtanii) gara Isaatti walitti qabamtaniidha.
и [велено]: «Выстаивайте молитву и бойтесь Его». Он — Тот, к Кому вы будете собраны.
и да молитву обављамо и да се Њега бојимо;“ Он је Тај пред Којим ћете да будете сакупљени,
Na mshike Sala, na mcheni Yeye, na kwake Yeye ndiko mtakakokusanywa
och att förrätta bönen och frukta honom. Ja, det är till honom ni ska samlas åter.”
Bir de bize; “Namazı dosdoğru kılın ve Allah’a karşı gelmekten sakının” diye emrolundu. O, huzurunda toplanacağınız Allah’tır.
اور یہ کہ نماز کی پابندی کرو اور اس سے ڈرو[1] اور وہی ہے جس کے پاس تم سب جمع کئے جاؤ گے۔
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.

So leave alone those who take their religion for play and pastime, and whom the worldly life has deceived. But remind with it, lest a soul becomes damned on account of what it has earned. It has no helper or intercessor besides God. Even if it offers every equivalent, none will be accepted from it. These are the ones who are delivered to perdition by their actions. They will have a drink of scalding water, and a painful punishment, because they used to disbelieve.

Leave those who have taken their religion for a play and a sport, whom this world's life hath deceived, and remind them thereby that a soul shall be given up for what it has earned; nor has it, beside God, patron or intercessor; and though it should compensate with the fullest compensation, it would not be accepted. Those who are given up for what they have gained, for them is a drink of boiling water, and grievous woe for that they have misbelieved
And quit those who make their religion a sport and a pastime, and whom this present life hath deceived: warn them hereby that every soul will be consigned to doom for its own works: patron or intercessor, beside God, shall it have none: and could it compensate with fullest compensation, it would not be accepted from it. They who for their deeds shall be consigned to doom - for them are draughts of boiling water, and a grievous torment; for that they believed not

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 — 0.62 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.
