Beim Himmel und dem Pochenden!
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ

By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
Beim Himmel mit der Wiederkehr
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation), -
und der Erde mit ihren Sprüngen!
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,

It is not a thing for amusement.
er ist kein Scherz.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
