Those who believe in God and the Last Day do not ask you for exemption from striving with their possessions and their lives. God is fully aware of the righteous.

Ata që besojnë Allahun dhe Ditën e Fundit nuk të kërkojnë që të lirohen nga lufta me pasurinë dhe jetën e tyre në rrugën e Allahut. Allahu i di mirë ata që i frikësohen Atij.
যারা আল্লাহ ও শেষ দিনের প্রতি ঈমান রাখে, তারা তাদের সম্পদ ও জীবন দ্বারা আল্লাহর পথে জিহাদ করা থেকে পিছিয়ে থাকার জন্য তোমার কাছে অনুমতি চায় না। আর আল্লাহ মুত্তাকীদের সম্পর্কে পূর্ণ জ্ঞাত।
Oni koji vjeruju u Allaha i u onaj svijet neće od tebe tražiti dozvolu da se ne bore zalažući imetke svoje i živote svoje. A Allah dobro zna one koji su bogobojazni.

ისინი, რომელთაც სწამთ ალლაჰისა და უკანასკნელი დღის, არ გთხოვენ ნებართვას, რომ იბრძოლონ თავიანთი ქონებითა და სულებით (ალლაჰის გზაზე) და ალლაჰი მცოდნეა ღვთისმოშიშთა [ანუ ესენი შინ დასარჩენად მიზეზს არ ეძებენ და ნებას არ გთხოვენ].
Diejenigen, die an Allah und den Jüngsten Tag glauben, bitten dich nicht um Erlaubnis, sich mit ihrem Besitz und ihrer eigenen Person nicht abzumühen. Und Allah ist wissend über die (Allah-)Fürchtenden.
Όσοι πιστεύουν στον Αλλάχ και στην Εσχάτη Ημέρα δε θα σου ζητούσαν την άδεια να μην αγωνιστούν στο δρόμο του Αλλάχ με τα πλούτη και τους εαυτούς τους (αλλά θα έσπευδαν να βγουν όποτε τους καλείς σ' αυτό). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ γνωρίζει καλά εκείνους που φυλάσσονται από την τιμωρία Του (τηρώντας τις εντολές Του).
जो लोग अल्लाह और आख़िरत के दिन पर ईमान रखते हैं, वे आपसे अपने धनों और अपनी जानों के साथ जिहाद करने से अनुमति नहीं माँगते, और अल्लाह मुत्तक़ी लोगों को भली-भाँति जानने वाला है।
Non ti chiedono il permesso, quelli che credono in Allāh e nell’Ultimo Giorno, di mettere a disposizione i loro beni e le loro vite, e Allāh conosce i timorati.

Те, которые веруют в Аллаха и в Последний день, не просят у тебя разрешения, чтобы усердствовать своим имуществом и своими душами. И Аллах — знающий богобоязненных.
Они који верују у Аллаха и у Будући свет неће да траже од тебе дозволу да се не боре залажући своја богатства и своје животе – а Аллах добро зна богобојазне.

De som tror på Gud och den yttersta dagen ber dig aldrig om dispens från att kämpa med sina ägodelar och sina liv. Gud vet vilka de gudfruktiga är.
Allah’a ve ahiret gününe iman edenler mallarıyla ve canlarıyla cihad etmek istedikleri için senden izin istemezler. Allah, muttakileri çok iyi bilendir.

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.

Had the gain been immediate, and the journey shorter, they would have followed you; but the distance seemed too long for them. Still they swear by God: "Had we been able, we would have marched out with you." They damn their own souls, and God knows that they are lying.
Had it been a near adventure and an easy journey they had followed thee, but the distance seemed too far for them. Yet will they swear by Allah (saying): If we had been able we would surely have set out with you. They destroy their souls, and Allah knoweth that they verily are liars
Were there goods nigh at hand, and a moderate journey, they would have followed you; but the distance was too far for them; they will swear by God, 'If we could, we would have gone forth with you.' They destroy themselves, but God knows that they lie
Had there been a near advantage and a short journey, they would certainly have followed thee; but the way seemed long to them. Yet will they swear by God, "Had we been able, we had surely gone forth with you:" they are self-destroyers! And God knoweth that they are surely liars

The translators word this verse differently
May God pardon you! Why did you give them permission before it became clear to you who are the truthful ones, and who are the liars?
Allah forgive thee (O Muhammad)! Wherefor didst thou grant them leave ere those who told the truth were manifest to thee and thou didst know the liars
God forgive thee; why didst thou give them leave (to stay) until it was made manifest to thee who spake the truth - until thou mightest know the liars
God forgive thee! Why didst thou give them leave to stay behind, ere they who make true excuses had become known to thee, and thou hadst known the liars
God forgive thee! Why didst thou give them leave to stay at home, until they who speak the truth, when they excuse themselves, had become manifested unto thee, and thou hadst known the liars

Only those who do not believe in God and the Last Day ask you for exemption. Their hearts are full of doubts, so they waver in their doubts.
They alone ask leave of thee who believe not in Allah and the Last Day, and whose hearts feel doubt, so in their doubt they waver
It is only those who believe not in God and in the last day who beg off from thee, and those whose hearts are in doubt, and in their doubt do hesitate
They only will ask thy leave who believe not in God and the last day, and whose hearts are full of doubts, and who are tossed up and down in their doubtings
Verily they only will ask leave of thee to stay behind, who believe not in God and the last day, and whose hearts doubt concerning the faith: Wherefore they are tossed to and fro in their doubting

Had they wanted to mobilize, they would have made preparations for it; but God disliked their participation, so he held them back, and it was said, "Stay behind with those who stay behind."
And if they had wished to go forth they would assuredly have made ready some equipment, but Allah was averse to their being sent forth and held them back and it was said (unto them): Sit ye with the sedentary
Had they wished to go forth, they would have prepared for it a preparation; but God was averse from their starting off, and made them halt, and they were told to sit with those who sit
Moreover, had they been desirous to take the field, they would have got ready for that purpose the munitions of war. But God was averse to their marching forth, and made them laggards; and it was said, "Sit ye at home with those who sit
If they had been willing to go forth with thee, they had certainly prepared for that purpose a provision of arms and necessaries: But God was averse to their going forth; wherefore He rendered them slothful, and it was said unto them, sit ye still with those who sit still

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 — 0.60 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.
