Thuaj: "Nuk do të na ndodhë asgjë përveç asaj që na ka caktuar Allahu; Ai është Mbrojtësi ynë dhe vetëm Allahut le t'i mbështeten besimtarët."
বলো: ‘আমাদের জন্য আল্লাহ যা লিখেছেন, তা ছাড়া আমাদের অন্য কিছু ঘটবে না। তিনি আমাদের অভিভাবক। আর আল্লাহর ওপরই মু’মিনদের তাওয়াক্কুল করা উচিত।
Reci: “Dogodit će nam se samo ono što nam Allah odredi, On je Gospodar naš.” I neka se vjernici samo u Allaha pouzdaju!

Maaku : "Heɓataa men si wanaa kon ko Alla winndani amen. Ko Kaŋko woni Giɗo amen. Ko e Alla woni ko gooŋɗinɓe ɓe pawotoo".
თქვი (ო, შუამავალო): «არასდროს შეგვემთხვევა ჩვენ, გარდა იმისა, რაც ალლაჰმა დაგვიწერა. ის არის ჩვენი მფარველი, და დაე, ალლაჰს, მიენდონ მორწმუნენი».
Sag: „Uns wird nur das treffen, was Allah für uns geschrieben hat. Er ist unser Schutzherr.“ Und auf Allah sollen sich die Gläubigen verlassen.
Πες (ω, Προφήτη): «Τίποτα δε θα μας συμβεί παρά μόνο αυτό που ο Αλλάχ έχει ορίσει για μας. Αυτός είναι ο Κηδεμόνας (και ο Προστάτης) μας.» Και μόνο τον Αλλάχ ας εμπιστευτούν οι πιστοί.
आप कह दें : हमें कुछ भी नहीं पहुँचेगा सिवाय उसके जो अल्लाह ने हमारे लिए लिख दिया है। वही हमारा मालिक है और अल्लाह ही पर ईमान वालों को भरोसा करना चाहिए।
Di’: “Solo quello che Allāh ha deciso ci accadrà. Lui è il nostro Dio, e i credenti si affidano ad Allāh”.

“Waan Rabbiin nuuf barreesse malee homaa nu hin mudatu. Inni tiksaa keenya” jedhi, Mu’umintoonni Rabbuma (qofa) irratti haa irkatanii.
Скажи: «Не постигнет нас ничего, кроме того, что Аллах предписал нам. Он — наш Покровитель». И пусть на Аллаха уповают верующие.
Реци: „Догодиће нам се само оно што нам Аллах одреди, Он је наш Господар, и нека се верници само у Аллаха поуздају!“
Sema: Halitusibu isipokuwa yale aliyotuandikia Mwenyezi Mungu. Yeye ndiye Mola wetu Mlinzi. Na kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, basi na wategemee Waumini!
Säg: ”Inget drabbar oss utom det Gud föreskrivit för oss. Han är vår Beskyddare, och det är på Gud de troende ska förlita sig!”
De ki: Allah’ın bize yazdığından başkası başımıza gelmez. O, bizim mevlamızdır. Müminler Allah’a güvenip, tevekkül etsinler.
آپ کہہ دیجئے کہ ہمیں سوائے اللہ کے ہمارے حق میں لکھے ہوئے کہ کوئی چیز پہنچ ہی نہیں سکتی وه ہمارا کار ساز اور مولیٰ ہے۔ مومنوں کو تو اللہ کی ذات پاک پر ہی بھروسہ کرنا چاہئے۔[1]
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 translators word this verse differently
Among them is he who says, "Excuse me, and do not trouble me." In fact, they sunk into trouble. In fact, Hell will engulf the disbelievers.
Of them is he who saith: Grant me leave (to stay at home) and tempt me not. Surely it is into temptation that they (thus) have fallen. Lo! hell verily is all around the disbelievers
Of them are some who say, 'Permit me, and do not try me!' Have they not fallen into the trial already, but hell shall encompass the misbelievers
Some of them say to thee, "Allow me to remain at home, and expose me not to the trial." Have they not fallen into a trial already? But verily, Hell shall environ the Infidels
There is of them who saith unto thee, give me leave to stay behind, and expose me not to temptation. Have they not fallen into temptation at home? But hell will surely encompass the unbelievers

The translators word this verse differently
If something good happens to you, it upsets them; and if a calamity befalls you, they say, "We took our precautions in advance," and they depart, happy.
If good befalleth thee (O Muhammad) it afflicteth them, and if calamity befalleth thee, they say: We took precaution, and they turn away well pleased
If good befall thee it seems ill to them; but if a calamity befall thee they say, 'We had taken care for our affair before;' and they turn their backs and they are glad
If a success betide thee, it annoyeth them: but if a reverse betide thee, they say, "We took our own measures before:" and they turn their backs and are glad
If good happen unto thee, it grieveth them: But if a misfortune befall thee, they say, we ordered our business before; and they turn their backs, and rejoice at thy mishap
9:51 — the verse above

Say, "Are you expecting for us anything other than one of the two excellences? As for us: we are expecting that God will afflict you with a punishment from Himself, or at our hands. So wait, we are waiting with you."
Say: Can ye await for us aught save one of two good things (death or victory in Allah's way)? while we await for you that Allah will afflict you with a doom from Him or at our hands. Await then! Lo! We are awaiting with you
Say, 'Do ye await for us aught but one of the two best things?' we too await for you that God will inflict on you torment from Himself, or by our hands. Wait then; and we with you are waiting too
SAY: Await ye for us, other than one of the two best things? But we await for you the infliction of a chastisement by God, from himself, or at our hands. Wait ye then; we verily will wait with you
Say, do ye expect any other should befall us, than one of the two most excellent things; either victory or martyrdom? But we expect concerning you, that God inflict a punishment on you, either from himslef, or by our hands. Wait therefore to see what will be the end of both; for we will wait with you

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.
