Every prayer on this site
24 prayers whose words are here, each from a named edition checked twice against its source, and 18 more this site describes but cannot print yet. Which is which is marked on every row.
The held prayers appear in every language the corpus has them in: Hebrew facing English for the biblical Jewish texts, Arabic alone for the Qur’anic ones, and Spanish and French where a public-domain edition exists in those languages. The named ones carry a page saying what the prayer is and exactly what stands between it and publication, which is almost always an edition or a rights problem rather than an absence of interest.

Why some prayers are only named
A text reaches a reader here with an edition cited and two independent checks agreeing on the wording, or it does not reach them at all. That rule keeps well-known prayers off the site: the Kaddish and Mi Sheberach are absent because their public-domain English sits in a prayer book nobody has transcribed yet, and the Sikh material is absent because the only out-of-copyright English is a translation the community itself rejects. The verification record lists what was held back, and how rights are established explains the test each edition has to pass.
