And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) is questioned:
And when the female infant buried alive is asked
und wenn das lebendig begrabene Mädchen gefragt wird,
For what sin, was she killed?
For what sin she was killed,
wegen welcher Sünde es getötet wurde,
And when the (written) pages [of deeds (good and bad) of every person] are laid open.

So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night).
But nay! I swear by the stars,
Nein! Ich schwöre bei den sich Verbergenden,
And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves.
That run their course (and) hide themselves,
den Dahinziehenden und sich wieder Zeigenden

Verily, this is the Word (this Qur'an brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibril (Gabril), from Allah to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم].
Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,
Dies sind wahrlich die Worte eines edlen Gesandten,
Owner of power, (and high rank) with (Allah), the Lord of the Throne,
The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,
Besitzer von Kraft und beim Herrn des Thrones in Ansehen,
Obeyed (by the angels in the heavens), and trustworthy.
One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.
dem man dort gehorcht und (der) vertrauenswürdig (ist).
And (O people) your companion (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is not a madman.
And your companion is not gone mad.
Und euer Gefährte ist kein Besessener.
And indeed he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) saw him [Jibril (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east).
And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.
Er hat ihn ja am deutlichen Gesichtskreis gesehen,
And he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) withholds not a knowledge of the Unseen.
Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.
und er hält nicht aus Geiz das Verborgene zurück.
And it (the Qur'an) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan).
Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,
Und es sind nicht die Worte eines gesteinigten Satans.
Then where are you going?
Whither then will you go?
Wo geht ihr denn hin?
Verily, this (the Qur'an) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn)
It is naught but a reminder for the nations,
Es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Weltenbewohner,
To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight.
For him among you who pleases to go straight.
für jemanden von euch, der sich recht verhalten will.
And you cannot will unless (it be) that Allah wills - the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.
Und ihr könnt nicht wollen, außer daß Allah will, (Er), der Herr der Weltenbewohner.
