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.
We sent Noah to his people. He said, "O my people! Worship God; you have no god other than Him. I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day."

Ne e dërguam Nuhun te populli i tij e ai u tha: "O populli im! Adhuroni Allahun; nuk keni zot që meriton të adhurohet përveç Tij! Me të vërtetë, unë kam frikë për ju nga dënimi i një Dite të madhe."
অবশ্যই আমি নূহকে তার সম্প্রদায়ের কাছে পাঠিয়েছিলাম। অতঃপর তিনি বলেছিলেন: 'হে আমার সম্প্রদায়! এক আল্লাহর ইবাদাত করো, তিনি ছাড়া তোমাদের অন্য কোনো সত্য ইলাহ নেই। নিশ্চয় আমি তোমাদের ওপর (কিয়ামতের) ভয়াবহ দিনের শাস্তির আশঙ্কা করছি।’
Mi smo Nuha poslali narodu njegovu, pa im je on govorio: "O narode moj, Allahu ibadet činite, vi drugog boga osim Njega nemate! Ja se, doista, bojim za vas patnje na Velikom danu!"

უკვე გავგზავნეთ ნუჰი თავის ხალხთან, და მან თქვა: «ო ჩემო ხალხო! თაყვანი ეცით (მხოლოდ ერთ) ალლაჰს — თქვენთვის არ არსებობს სხვა ღმერთი მის გარდა! ჭეშმარიტად, მე მეშინია თქვენთვის დიდი დღის სასჯელის».
Wir sandten bereits Nuh zu seinem Volk, und da sagte er: „O mein Volk, dient Allah! Ihr habt keinen Anbetungswürdigen außer Ihm. Wahrlich, ich fürchte für euch die Strafe eines gewaltigen Tages.“
Πράγματι, στείλαμε τον Νώε στον λαό του. Είπε: «Ω, λαέ μου! Λατρεύετε τον Αλλάχ, δεν έχετε κανέναν άλλον θεό που αξίζει να λατρεύεται παρά μόνο Αυτόν. Στ’ αλήθεια, φοβάμαι για σας το μαρτύριο μιας τρομερής Ημέρας!»
निःसंदेह हमने नूह़[27] को उसकी जाति की ओर भेजा, तो उसने कहा : ऐ मेरी जाति के लोगो! अल्लाह की इबादत करो। उसके सिवा तुम्हारा कोई पूज्य नहीं। निःसंदेह मैं तुमपर एक बड़े दिन की यातना से डरता हूँ।
Abbiamo inviato Nūħ alla sua gente. Disse: «O popolo mio, adorate Allāh, perché non avete altra divinità all’infuori di Lui! In verità temo per voi la punizione di un terribile giorno!”
59. Iš tiesų, Mes siuntėme Nūhą (Nojų) jo žmonėms ir jis sakė: „Mano žmonės, garbinkite Allahą! Jūs neturite jokio kito Ilah (Dievo), tik Jį. (La ilaha illallah: niekas neturi teisės būti garbinamas tik Allahas). Iš tiesų, aš bijau dėl jūsų Didžiosios Dienos kančios!“

Действительно, Мы послали Нуха к его народу — он сказал: «О народ мой, поклоняйтесь Аллаху: нет у вас иного божества, кроме Него. Воистину, я боюсь за вас наказания великого Дня».
Ми смо Ноја послали његовом народу, па им је он говорио: „О народе мој, Аллаха обожавајте, ви другог бога осим Њега немате! Ја се, заиста, бојим за вас патње на Великом дану!“
Hakika, tulimtuma Nuhu kwa kaumu yake, naye akasema: Enyi kaumu yangu! Muabuduni Mwenyezi Mungu. Nyinyi hamna Mungu ila Yeye. Hakika mimi ninawahofia adhabu ya Siku iliyo kuu.
Vi sände Noa till hans folk. Han sa: ”Mitt folk! Dyrka Gud – ni har ingen annan [sann] gud än honom. Jag fruktar att straffet en fruktansvärd dag ska drabba er.”
Şüphesiz biz Nûh’u kavmine peygamber olarak gönderdik. Kavmine dedi ki: “Ey kavmim! Allah’a ibadet edin. Sizin O'ndan başka bir ilahınız yoktur. Doğrusu ben, sizin için büyük günün azabından korkuyorum."
ہم نے نوح (علیہ السلام) کو ان کی قوم کی طرف بھیجا توانہوں نے فرمایا اے میری قوم! تم اللہ کی عبادت کرو اس کے سوا کوئی تمہارا معبود ہونے کے قابل نہیں، مجھ کو تمہارے لئے ایک بڑے دن کے عذاب کا اندیشہ ہے۔
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.

It is He who sends the wind ahead of His mercy. Then, when they have gathered up heavy clouds, We drive them to a dead land, where We make water come down, and with it We bring out all kinds of fruits. Thus We bring out the dead-perhaps you will reflect.
And He it is Who sendeth the winds as tidings heralding His mercy, till, when they bear a cloud heavy (with rain), We lead it to a dead land, and then cause water to descend thereon and thereby bring forth fruits of every kind. Thus bring We forth the dead. Haply ye may remember

As for the good land, it yields its produce by the leave of its Lord. But as for the bad, it produces nothing but hardship and misery. Thus We explain the revelations in various ways for people who are thankful.
As for the good land, its vegetation cometh forth by permission of its Lord; while as for that which is bad, only the useless cometh forth (from it). Thus do We recount the tokens for people who give thanks
And the good land brings forth its vegetation by the permission of its Lord; and that which is vile brings forth naught but scarcity. Thus do we turn about our signs for a people who are grateful
In a rich soil, its plants spring forth abundantly by the will of its Lord, and in that which is bad, they spring forth but scantily. Thus do We diversify our signs for those who are thankful
From a good country shall its fruit spring forth abundantly, by the permission of its Lord; but from the land which is bad, it shall not spring forth otherwise than scarcely. Thus do We explain the signs of divine providence unto people who are thankful

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 — 0.41 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.
