Who creates, then makes complete,
Der erschafft und dann zurechtformt
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),
und Der das Maß festsetzt und dann rechtleitet
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
And Who brings forth herbage,
und Der die Weide hervorbringt
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
Then makes it dried up, dust - colored.

Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
außer dem, was Allah will. Er weiß ja, was laut vernehmbar geäußert wird und was verborgen bleibt.

Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.

He who fears will mind,
Bedenken wird jemand, der gottesfürchtig ist.
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
