God would never lead a people astray, after He had guided them, until He makes clear to them what they should guard against. God has knowledge of all things.

Allahu kurrë nuk i çon njerëzit në humbje pasi t'i ketë udhëzuar, derisa t'u sqarojë atyre se nga çfarë duhet të ruhen. Vërtet, Allahu është i Gjithëdijshëm për çdo gjë.
আল্লাহ কোনো সম্প্রদায়কে হিদায়াত দান করার পর কখনোই পথভ্রষ্ট করেন না, যতক্ষণ না তিনি তাদের জন্য স্পষ্ট করে দেন, কোন কোন (হারাম) বিষয়গুলো থেকে তারা বেঁচে থাকবে। নিশ্চয়ই আল্লাহ সবকিছু সম্পর্কে সর্বজ্ঞ।
Allah neće učiniti da zaluta narod koji je na Pravi put uputio prije nego što im objasni ono čega treba da se čuvaju; Allah, zaista, sve dobro zna.

ალლაჰი არ არის ისეთი, რომ ხალხი გზააბნევაში შეიყვანოს მას შემდეგ, რაც მართალ გზაზე დააყენა ისინი, სანამ არ განუმარტავს მათ, რისგან უნდა იფრთხილონ. ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი ყოვლისმცოდნეა!
Und nimmer wird Allah Leute in die Irre gehen lassen, nachdem Er sie rechtgeleitet hat, bis Er ihnen darüber Klarheit gegeben hat, wovor sie sich hüten sollen. Wahrlich, Allah ist wissend über alles.
Ο Αλλάχ δε θα έκρινε κάποιους ανθρώπους να παραστρατήσουν αφού τους είχε καθοδηγήσει, μέχρι να τους ξεκαθάριζε πρώτα τι πρέπει να αποφεύγουν (τις απαγορεύσεις Του, αν όμως τις διέπρατταν, τότε θα έκρινε να παραστρατήσουν). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι για τα πάντα Παντογνώστης.
और अल्लाह कभी ऐसा नहीं कि किसी जाति को सीधा मार्ग दिखाने के बाद पथभ्रष्ट कर दे, जब तक उनके लिए वे बातें स्पष्ट न कर दे, जिनसे वे बचें। निःसंदेह अल्लाह प्रत्येक वस्तु को भली-भाँति जानने वाला है।
Non è da Allāh sviare un popolo dopo averlo ben guidato, finché mostra loro ciò che devono evitare: in verità Allāh è Onnisciente.
115. Ir Allahas niekada nepaklaidins žmonių po to, kai Jis juos išvedė (į teisingą kelią), iki tol, kol Jis išaiškins jiems tai, ko jie turėtų vengti. Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Visa Žinantis apie viską.

И Аллах не станет вводить людей в заблуждение после того, как наставил их, пока не разъяснит им, чего им следует остерегаться. Воистину, Аллах — знающий обо всём сущем.
Аллах неће дати да залута народ којег је на Прави пут упутио пре него што им објасни оно чега треба да се чувају; Аллах, заиста, све добро зна.
Na haiwi kwa Mwenyezi Mungu kuwapotosha kaumu baada ya kwishawaongoa mpaka awabainishie ya kujiepusha nayo. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kujua vyema kila kitu.
Gud vilseleder inte ett folk efter att ha väglett dem förrän han klargjort för dem vad de ska akta sig för. Gud har full vetskap om allt.
Allah bir kavme hidâyet verdikten sonra, sakınacakları şeyleri kendilerine apaçık bildirmedikçe onları saptırmaz. Şüphesiz Allah her şeyi çok iyi bilendir.
اور اللہ ایسا نہیں کرتا کہ کسی قوم کو ہدایت کر کے بعد میں گمراه کر دے جب تک کہ ان چیزوں کو صاف صاف نہ بتلادے جن سے وه بچیں[1] بیشک اللہ تعالیٰ ہر چیز کو خوب جانتا 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.

The prayer of Abraham for the forgiveness of his father was only because of a promise he had promised him, but when it had become clear unto him that he (his father) was an enemy to Allah he (Abraham) disowned him. Lo! Abraham was soft of heart, long-suffering
Nor was Abraham's asking pardon for his father aught else but through a promise he had promised him; but when it was made manifest to him that he was an enemy to God, he cleansed himself of him; verily, Abraham was pitiful and clement
For neither did Abraham ask forgiveness for his father, but in pursuance of a promise which he had promised to him: but when it was shewn him that he was an enemy to God, he declared himself clear of him. Yet Abraham was pitiful, kind

The translators word this verse differently
To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He gives life, and He causes death. And besides God, you have neither protector, nor supporter.
Lo! Allah! Unto Him belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He quickeneth and He giveth death. And ye have, instead of Allah, no protecting friend nor helper
Verily, God's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth! He quickens and He kills! Nor have ye beside God a patron or protector
God! His the kingdom of the Heavens and of the Earth! He maketh alive and killeth! Ye have no patron or helper save God
Verily unto God belongeth the kingdom of heaven and of earth; He giveth life, and He causeth to die; and ye have no patron or helper besides God

God has redeemed the Prophet, and the Emigrants, and the Supporters-those who followed him in the hour of difficulty-after the hearts of some of them almost swerved. Then He pardoned them. He is Kind towards them, Compassionate.
Allah hath turned in mercy to the Prophet, and to the Muhajirin and the Ansar who followed him in the hour of hardship. After the hearts of a party of them had almost swerved aside, then turned He unto them in mercy. Lo! He is Full of Pity, Merciful for them

God is reconciled unto the prophet, and unto the Mohajerin, and the Ansars, who followed Him in the hour of distress, after that it had wanted little but that the hearts of a part of them had swerved from their duty: Afterwards was He turned unto them; for He was compassionate and merciful towards them

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 — 0.64 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.
