He created the heavens and the earth with truth, and He designed you, and designed you well, and to Him is the final return.

Ai krijoi qiejt e Tokën me urtësi, jua dha trajtën e jua bëri atë të bukur dhe tek Ai është kthimi.
তিনি আসমানসমূহ ও জমিনকে যথার্থভাবে সৃষ্টি করেছেন এবং তোমাদেরকে আকৃতি দান করেছেন অতঃপর অতি সুন্দর করে তোমাদের আকৃতি দিয়েছেন। আর (কিয়ামত দিবসে) প্রত্যাবর্তন তো তাঁরই নিকট।
On je nebesa i Zemlju s Istinom stvorio i uobličio vas i likove vaše čini najljepšim, i kod Njega je konačno odredište.

მან ჭეშმარიტებით შექმნა ცანი და მიწა (და ყველაფერი, რაც მათშია), თქვენ (ო, ადამიანებო ადამიანური) სახე მოგანიჭათ და საუკეთესო ფორმა მისცა [ადამიანი ბევრ სხვა ქმნილებაზე უფრო ლამაზად შექმნა]. და მასთან არის დაბრუნება.
Er hat die Himmel und die Erde in Wahrheit erschaffen und euch gestaltet, und da(bei) eure Gestalten schön gemacht. Und zu Ihm ist die Rückkehr.
Έπλασε τους ουρανούς και τη γη με την αλήθεια (και όχι μάταια), και σας έδωσε μορφή, και έκανε τη μορφή σας τέλεια (ανάμεσα στα άλλα πλάσματα). Και σ' Αυτόν βρίσκεται ο τελικός προορισμός (των πλασμάτων).
उसने आकाशों तथा धरती को सत्य के साथ पैदा किया। तथा उसने तुम्हारे रूप बनाए, तो तुम्हारे रूप अच्छे बनाए। और उसी की ओर लौटकर जाना है।[2]
Creò i cieli e la terra con giustizia, e vi modellò nella migliore forma, e a Lui tornerete.

Он је небеса и Земљу створио са Истином и уобличио вас и ваше ликове чини најлепшим, и код Њега је коначно одредиште.
Ameziumba mbingu na ardhi kwa haki, na akakupeni sura, na akazifanya nzuri sura zenu. Na marudio ni kwake.
Han har skapat himlarna och jorden med ett verkligt syfte. Han gav er er form och fulländade den, och det är till honom allt ska återvända.
O; gökleri ve yeri hak ile yaratmış, sizi de en güzel sûrette şekillendirmiştir. Dönüş de O’nadır.
اسی نے آسمانوں کو اور زمین کو عدل وحکمت سے پیدا کیا[1] ، اسی نے تمہاری صورتیں بنائیں[2] اور بہت اچھی بنائیں اور اسی کی طرف لوٹنا ہے.[3]
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.

Everything in the heavens and the earth praises God. To Him belongs the Kingdom, and to Him all praise is due, and He is Able to do all things.
All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah; unto Him belongeth Sovereignty and unto Him belongeth praise, and He is Able to do all things

ALL that is in the Heavens, and all that is in the Earth, praiseth God: His the Kingdom and His the Glory! And He hath power over all things
Whatever is in heaven and earth celebrateth the praises of God: His is the kingdom, and unto Him is the praise due; for He is almighty

The translators word this verse differently
Has the news not reached you, of those who disbelieved before? They tasted the ill consequences of their conduct, and a painful torment awaits them.
Hath not the story reached you of those who disbelieved of old and so did taste the ill-effects of their conduct, and theirs will be a painful doom
Has there not come to you the story of those who misbelieved before, and tasted the evil result of their affair, and for them was grievous woe
Hath not the story reached you of those who disbelieved of yore, and therefore tasted the evil consequences of their doings? And a sore punishment doth await them
Have ye not been acquainted with the story of those who disbelieved heretofore, and tasted the evil consequence of their behaviour? And for them is prepared, in the life to come, a tormenting punishment

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 — 0.56 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.
