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.
So consume what you have gained, legitimate and wholesome; and remain conscious of God. God is Forgiving and Merciful.

Gëzojeni pra prenë e luftës që fituat si diçka të lejuar e të mirë dhe kijeni frikë Allahun, se Allahu është vërtet Falës i madh e Mëshirëplotë.
অতএব, যুদ্ধে তোমরা যে গনীমত লাভ করেছ, তা বৈধ ও উত্তম বলে ভোগ করো আর আল্লাহর আদেশ-নিষেধ মেনে তাঁকেই ভয় করো। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ পরম ক্ষমাশীল, অতি দয়ালু।
Sad jedite ono što ste zaplijenili, kao dopušteno i lijepo, i bojte se Allaha. Allah, zaista, prašta i milostiv je.

ჭამეთ ის, რაც ნადავლად აიღეთ (ურწმუნოებისგან) როგორც ნებადართული და კარგი და გეშინდეთ ალლაჰის. ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი მიმტევებელი, შემწყალებელია.
So esst nun von dem, was ihr (an Kriegsbeute) erbeutet habt, als etwas Erlaubtes und Gutes, und fürchtet Allah! Wahrlich, Allah ist allvergebend und barmherzig.
Φάτε λοιπόν από ό,τι λάφυρα κερδίσατε στον πόλεμο, επιτρεπτά και καλά. Και φυλαχθείτε από την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ (τηρώντας τις εντολές Του). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι Γαφούρ (Αυτός που συγχωρεί τα πάντα) και Ραχείμ (Πολυεύσπλαχνος).
तो जो ग़नीमत का धन तुमने प्राप्त किया है, उसमें से खाओ[33], इस हाल में कि हलाल और पवित्र है, और अल्लाह से डरो। निःसंदेह अल्लाह बहुत क्षमा करने वाला, अत्यंत दयावान है।
E mangiate di ciò che avete raccolto di buono e lecito, e temete Allāh: in verità Allāh è Perdonatore, Misericordioso.
69. Taigi, mėgaukitės tuo, ką gavote iš karo grobio, teisėto ir gero, ir bijokite Allaho. Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Dažnai Atleidžiantis, Gailestingiausiasis.

Так вкушайте же из того, что вы захватили как добычу — дозволенного и чистого. И бойтесь Аллаха. Воистину, Аллах — прощающий, милующий.
Сада трошите оно што сте запленили као допуштено и лепо, и бојте се Аллаха; Аллах, заиста, опрашта грехе и милостив је.
Basi kuleni katika mlivyoteka, ni halali na vizuri, na mcheni Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kusitiri na kusamehe dhambi, Mwenye kurehemu.
Nyttja nu det krigsbyte ni tagit – det är tillåtna och goda ting – och frukta Gud! Gud är ständigt förlåtande, barmhärtig.
Artık elde ettiğiniz ganimetten helâl ve temiz olarak yiyin. Allah’a karşı gelmekten sakının. Şüphesiz Allah; çok bağışlayandır, çok merhamet edendir.
پس جو کچھ حلال اور پاکیزه غنیمت تم نے حاصل کی ہے، خوب کھاؤ پیو[1] اور اللہ سے ڈرتے رہو، یقیناً اللہ غفور ورحیم 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 not for a prophet to take prisoners before he has subdued the land. You desire the materials of this world, but God desires the Hereafter. God is Strong and Wise.
It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise
It has not been for any prophet to take captives until he hath slaughtered in the land! Ye wish to have the goods of this world, but God wishes for the next, for God is mighty, wise
No prophet hath been enabled to take captives until he had made great slaughter in the earth. Ye desire the passing fruitions of this world, but God desireth the next life for you. And God is Mighty, Wise
It hath not been granted unto any prophet, that he should possess captives, until he had made a great slaughter of the infidels in the earth. Ye seek the accidental goods of this world, but God regardeth the life to come; and God is mighty and wise

The translators word this verse differently
Were it not for a predetermined decree from God, an awful punishment would have afflicted you for what you have taken.
Had it not been for an ordinance of Allah which had gone before, an awful doom had come upon you on account of what ye took
Were it not for a book from God that had gone before, there would have touched you, for that which ye took, a mighty punishment
Had there not been a previous ordinance from God, a severe chastisement had befallen you, for the ransom which ye took
Unless a revelation had been previously delivered from God, verily a severe punishment had been inflicted on you, for the ransom which ye took from the captives at Bedr

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 — 0.61 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.
