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.
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.
Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord, and do not follow other masters beside Him. Little you recollect.

Ndiqni atë që ju është shpallur nga Zoti juaj e mos ndiqni mbrojtës (të tjerë) përveç Tij! Sa pak që merrni mësim!
(হে মানুষ!) তোমাদের রবের পক্ষ থেকে তোমাদের প্রতি যা নাযিল করা হয়েছে, তোমরা তার অনুসরণ করো এবং তাঁকে (আল্লাহকে) ছাড়া অন্য কাউকে অভিভাবকরূপে অনুসরণ করো না। তোমরা সামান্যই উপদেশ গ্রহণ করে থাকো।
Slijedite ono što vam se od Gospodara vašeg objavljuje i pored Njega ne slijedite druge kao zaštitnike! A kako se vi malo prisjećate i pouku primate?!

მიჰყევით იმას, რაც ჩამოგეგზავნათ თქვენი უფლისგან, და ნუ მიჰყვებით მის ნაცვლად (სხვა) მფარველებს [შაიტნებს, მონაზვნებსა და მწიგნობრებს]. (და რა) ცოტა ისმენთ შეგონებებს!
Folgt dem, was zu euch von eurem Herrn hinabgesandt worden ist, und folgt außer Ihm keinen (anderen) Schutzherren! Wie wenig ihr (doch) bedenkt!
Ακολουθήστε (ω, άνθρωποι) αυτό που σας έχει σταλεί από τον Κύριό σας και μην ακολουθείτε εκτός Αυτού κηδεμόνες (που θα σας παραπλανήσουν). Λίγο είναι αυτό που το λαμβάνετε υπόψη!
(ऐ लोगो!) जो कुछ तुम्हारे पालनहार की ओर से तुम्हारी ओर उतारा गया है, उसका अनुसरण करो और उसके सिवा दूसरे सहायकों के पीछे न चलो। तुम बहुत ही कम उपदेश ग्रहण करते हो।
Seguite ciò che vi è stato fatto scendere dal vostro Dio e non seguite protettori all’infuori di Lui. Oh, quanto poco ve ne ricordate!
3. [Sakyk (Muchammedai ﷺ ) tiems stabmeldžiams (arabų pagonims) iš savo žmonių tarpo:] Sekite tuo, kas jums buvo nuleista iš jūsų Viešpaties (Koranu ir Pranašo Muchammedo Sunnah), ir nesekite jokiu Aulyja (globėju ir padėjėju, kuris liepia jums priskirti partnerius garbinime Allahui), šalia Jo (Allaho). Nedaug jūs atsimenate!

Следуйте тому, что ниспослано вам от вашего Господа, и не следуйте покровителям помимо Него. Как же мало вы внимаете напоминанию!
Следите оно што вам се од вашег Господара објављује и поред Њега не узимајте друге као заштитнике! А како ви мало поуку примате?
Yafuateni yale yaliyoteremshwa kwenu kutoka kwa Mola wenu Mlezi, wala msifuate marafiki wasaidizi wowote badala yake. Ni machache mnayoyakumbuka.
Följ det som uppenbarats för er från er Herre, och rätta er inte efter andra vid sidan av honom. Så lite ni låter er förmanas!
Rabbinizden size indirilmiş olana uyun, Onun dışında dost edindiklerinize uymayın. Ne kadar az öğüt alıyorsunuz!
تم لوگ اس کا اتباع کرو جو تمہارے رب کی طرف سے آئی ہے[1] اور اللہ تعالیٰ کو چھوڑ کر من گھڑت سرپرستوں کی اتباع مت کرو تم لوگ بہت ہی کم نصیحت پکڑتے ہو۔
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.

How many a town have We destroyed? Our might came upon them by night, or while they were napping.
How many a township have We destroyed! As a raid by night, or while they slept at noon, Our terror came unto them
Yet how many a town have we destroyed, and our violence came upon it by night, or while they slept at noon; and their cry, when our violence came upon them
How many cities have we destroyed! By night, or while they were in their midday slumber, did our wrath reach them
How many cities have We destroyed; which our vengeance overtook by night, or while they were reposing themselves at noon-day

No plea had they, when Our terror came unto them, save that they said: Lo! We were wrong-doers

And what was their cry when our wrath reached them, but to say, "Verily, we have been impious
And their supplication, when our punishment came upon them, was no other than that they said, verily we have been unjust

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 — 0.57 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.
