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.
The translators word this verse differently
Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
To God belong the Most Beautiful Names, so call Him by them, and disregard those who blaspheme His names. They will be repaid for what they used to do.

Allahu ka emrat më të bukur, andaj thirreni me ta dhe lërini ata që shtrembërojnë emrat e Tij. Ata do të ndëshkohen për atë që kanë bërë.
আর আল্লাহর জন্যই রয়েছে সুন্দরতম নামসমূহ। অতএব তোমরা তাঁকে সেসব নামেই ডাকো। আর যারা তাঁর নাম বিকৃত করে তাদেরকে বর্জন করো। অচিরেই তাদের কৃতকর্মের ফল তাদেরকে দেয়া হবে।

და ალლაჰს აქვს უმშვენიერესი სახელები; ამიტომ მიმართეთ მას ამ სახელებით და დატოვეთ ისინი, რომლებიც უარყოფენ [ამახინჯებენ] მის სახელებს. მათ მიეგებათ იმისთვის, რასაც ისინი აკეთებდნენ!
Und Allahs sind die schönsten Namen; so ruft Ihn damit an, und lasst diejenigen, die mit Seinen Namen abwegig umgehen. Ihnen wird das vergolten, was sie zu tun pflegten.
Και στον Αλλάχ ανήκουν τα πιο Όμορφα Ονόματα, έτσι, επικαλεστείτε Τον μ’ Αυτά και αφήστε αυτούς που παρεκκλίνουν από την αλήθεια σχετικά με τα Ονόματά Του (αποκαλώντας τους ψεύτικους θεούς τους μ' Αυτά τα Ονόματα ή διαστρεβλώνοντας τις έννοιές τους ή παρομοιάζοντας μ' Αυτά τα Ονόματα άλλους με τον Αλλάχ ). Θα λάβουν την τιμωρία γι' αυτά που έκαναν.
और सबसे अच्छे नाम अल्लाह ही के हैं। अतः उसे उन्हीं के द्वारा पुकारो और उन लोगों को छोड़ दो, जो उसके नामों के बारे में सीधे रास्ते से हटते[69] हैं। उन्हें शीघ्र ही उसका बदला दिया जाएगा, जो वे किया करते थे।
E appartengono ad Allāh i sublimi attributi: invocateLo con essi, e ignorate quelli che storpiano i Suoi nomi: saranno puniti per tutto ciò che hanno fatto.

Gud har de vackraste och mest fullkomliga namnen; åkalla honom med dem! Och lämna de som förvränger hans namn. De ska straffas för vad de gjort.
En güzel isimler Allah’ındır. O halde O’na bunlarla dua edin. O’nun isimlerinde eğriliğe sapanları terk edin. Onlar yapmakta olduklarının cezasını göreceklerdir.
اور اچھے اچھے نام اللہ ہی کے لیے ہیں سو ان ناموں سے اللہ ہی کو موسوم کیا کرو[1] اور ایسے لوگوں سے تعلق بھی نہ رکھو جو اس کے ناموں میں کج روی کرتے ہیں[2]، ان لوگوں کو ان کے کئے کی ضرور سزا ملے گی۔
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.

Whomever God guides is the guided one. And whomever He sends astray-these are the losers.
He whom Allah leadeth, he indeed is led aright, while he whom Allah sendeth astray - they indeed are losers
Whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - it is those who are the losers
He whom God guideth is the guided, and they whom he misleadeth shall be the lost
He whom God guides, is on the right path. And they whom He leaves in error, these it is who shall be the losers

We have destined for Hell multitudes of jinn and humans. They have hearts with which they do not understand. They have eyes with which they do not see. They have ears with which they do not hear. These are like cattle. In fact, they are further astray. These are the heedless.
Already have We urged unto hell many of the jinn and humankind, having hearts wherewith they understand not, and having eyes wherewith they see not, and having ears wherewith they hear not. These are as the cattle - nay, but they are worse! These are the neglectful
We have created for hell many of the ginn and of mankind; they have hearts and they discern not therewith; they have eyes and they see not therewith; they have ears and they hear not therewith; they are like cattle, nay, they go more astray! these it is who care not
Many, moreover, of the Djinn and men have we created for Hell. Hearts have they with which they understand not, and eyes have they with which they see not, and ears have they with which they hearken not. They are like the brutes: Yea, they go more astray: these are the heedless
Verily, We have created many of the jinn and the men whose end shall be Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not and they have eyes wherewith they see not and they have ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle; nay, they are even more astray. They are indeed altogether heedless

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 — 0.67 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.
