Atë të Cilit i takon pushteti i qiejve e i Tokës. Allahu është Dëshmitar i çdo gjëje.
(সেই আল্লাহ) যিনি আসমানসমূহ ও জমিনের সর্বময় কর্তৃত্বের একচ্ছত্র অধিপতি। আর আল্লাহ প্রতিটি বিষয়ের প্রত্যক্ষদর্শী।
Čija je vlast i na nebesima i na Zemlji, a Allah je svemu Svjedok.
Čija je vlast i na nebesima i na Zemlji, a Allah je svemu Svjedok.
Ko Alla Woodani Laamu kammuuji ɗiin e leydi ndiin. Alla ko Kattanɗo kala hu'unde.
რომელსაც ეკუთვნის ძალაუფლება ცათა და მიწაზე. და ალლაჰი ყოველივეს მოწმეა!
Dem die Herrschaft der Himmel und der Erde gehört. Und Allah ist über alles Zeuge.
Αυτόν στον Οποίον ανήκει η Κυριαρχία των ουρανών και της Γης. Και (στ’ αλήθεια) ο Αλλάχ είναι Μάρτυρας των πάντων.
वह (अल्लाह) कि जिसके लिए आकाशों और धरती का राज्य है, और अल्लाह हर चीज़ से अवगत है।
Colui che possiede il Regno dei cieli e della terra. E Allāh è Testimone di ogni cosa.
9. Kuriam priklauso dangų ir žemės valdžia. Ir Allahas viskam yra Liudytojas.
(Rabbiin) Isa mootummaan samiileefi dachii Isaaf ta'eedha. Rabbiin waan hunda irratti ragaadha.
Которому принадлежит владычество небес и земли. Аллах — свидетель над всем сущим.
Чија је власт и на небесима и на Земљи, а Аллах је свему сведок.
Ambaye anao ufalme wa mbingu na ardhi; na Mwenyezi Mungu ni shahidi wa kila kitu.
Han som äger herraväldet över himlarna och jorden; Gud är vittne till allt.
Allah ki; göklerin ve yerin mülkü ona aittir ve Allah her şeyin üzerine şahittir.
جس کے لئے آسمان وزمین کا ملک ہے۔ اور اللہ تعالیٰ ہرچیز کو دیکھ رہا 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.

And witnessed the while what they were doing with those who believed
Witnesses of what they inflicted on the believers
and were witnesses of what they did against the true believers

The translators word this verse differently
They begrudged them only because they believed in God the Almighty, the Praiseworthy.
They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise
And they took not vengeance on them save for their belief in God, The mighty, the praiseworthy
Nor did they torment them but for their faith in God, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy
And they afflicted them for no other reason, but because they believed in the mighty, the glorious God
85:9 — the verse above
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ

Those who tempt the believers, men and women, then do not repent; for them is the punishment of Hell; for them is the punishment of Burning.
Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning
Verily, those who make trial of the believers, men and women, and then do not repent, for them is the torment of hell, and for them is the torment of the burning
Verily, those who vexed the believers, men and women, and repented not, doth the torment of Hell, and the torment of the burning, await
Verily for those who persecute the true believers of either sex, and afterwards repent not, is prepared the torment of hell; and they shall suffer the pain of burning

But for those who shall have believed and done the things that be right, are the Gardens beneath whose shades the rivers flow. This the immense bliss
But for those who believe, and do that which is right, are destined gardens beneath which rivers flow: This shall be great felicity

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 — 0.53 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.
