Vërtet, unë e kam kthyer fytyrën time nga Ai që krijoi qiejt dhe Tokën, duke qenë besimdrejtë dhe nuk jam idhujtar."
‘নিশ্চয় আমি একনিষ্ঠভাবে তাঁর দিকে মুখ ফিরাচ্ছি, যিনি আসমানসমূহ ও জমিন সৃষ্টি করেছেন। আর আমি মুশরিকদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত নই।’
Ja okrećem lice svoje, kao pravi vjernik, prema Onome Koji je nebesa i Zemlju, bez prethodnog primjera, stvorio; ja u višebošce ne spadam!"
Ja okrećem lice svoje, kao pravi vjernik, prema Onome Koji je nebesa i Zemlju, bez prethodnog primjera, stvorio; ja u mnogobošce ne spadam!"

ჭეშმარიტად, მე (ჩემი თაყვანისცემით) მივმართე ჩემი სახე იმისკენ, ვინც შექმნა ცები და დედამიწა — ჰანიფად (მყოფმა), და მე არ ვარ მრავალღმერთიანთა შორის.
Wahrlich, ich wende mein Gesicht Dem zu, Der die Himmel und die Erde erschaffen hat, als Anhänger des rechten Glaubens, und ich gehöre nicht zu den Götzendienern.“
Πράγματι, στρέφω το πρόσωπό μου προς Αυτόν που έπλασε τους ουρανούς και τη Γη, και αποκλίνω από την πλάνη τείνοντας προς την αληθινή θρησκεία και δεν είμαι απ' αυτούς που αποδίδουν εταίρους στον Αλλάχ στη λατρεία.»
निःसंदेह मैंने एकाग्र होकर अपना चेहरा उसकी ओर कर लिया, जिसने आकाशों तथा धरती को पैदा किया है, और मैं मुश्रिकों में से नहीं हूँ।[56]
Io ho rivolto il mio viso verso il Creatore dei cieli e della terra, sincero, e non sono tra gli idolatri!”
79. Iš tiesų, aš atsukau savo veidą į Tą, Kuris sukūrė dangus ir žemę Hanifa (islamiškuoju monoteizmu, t. y. negarbinimą nieko kito, tik Vienintelį Allahą) ir aš nesu iš Al-Mušrikūn.“ (Žr. ają 2:105).
Ani fuula kiyya qajeelaa haalan ta’een gara (Rabbii) Isa samiileefi dachii uumee deebiseen jira; Ani mushrikoota irraa miti.
Воистину, я обратил свой лик к Тому, Кто впервые сотворил небеса и землю, будучи приверженцем единобожия, и я не из придающих Аллаху сотоварищей».
Ја окрећем лице своје, као прави верник, према Ономе Који је небеса и Земљу, без претходног примера, створио; ја не спадам у незнанобошце!“
Hakika mimi nimeuelekeza uso wangu kwa yule aliyeziumba mbingu na ardhi, huku nikiwa mnyoofu, wala mimi si miongoni mwa washirikina.
Jag har vänt mitt ansikte i ren monoteism mot honom som har skapat himlarna och jorden, och jag är inte en avgudadyrkare.”
“Ben, hakka yönelen birisi olarak yüzümü, gökleri ve yeri yaratana döndürdüm. Ben, Allah’a şirk koşanlardan değilim.”
میں اپنا رخ اس کی طرف کرتا ہوں[1] جس نے آسمانوں اور زمین کو پیدا کیا یکسو ہو کر، اور میں شرک کرنے والوں میں سے نہیں ہوں۔
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.

Then, when he saw the sun rising, he said, "This is my lord, this is bigger." But when it set, he said, "O my people, I am innocent of your idolatry.
And when he saw the sun uprising, he cried: This is my Lord! This is greater! And when it set he exclaimed: O my people! Lo! I am free from all that ye associate (with Him)
And when he saw the sun beginning to rise he said, 'This is my Lord, this is greatest of all;' but when it set he said, 'O my people! verily, I am clear of what ye associate with God
And when he beheld the sun uprise, he said, "This is my Lord; this is greatest." But when it set, he said, "O my people! I share not with you the guilt of joining gods with God

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 — 0.54 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.
