الذي خلق فسوى
Der erschafft und dann zurechtformt
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
And Who has measured (preordainments for everything even to be blessed or wretched); and then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as the wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture).
والذي قدر فهدى
und Der das Maß festsetzt und dann rechtleitet

And Who brings out the pasturage,
