In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High,
Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Preise den Namen deines höchsten Herrn,
Chapter 87, 19 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High,
Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Preise den Namen deines höchsten Herrn,
Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it.
Allathee khalaqa fasawwa
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Der erschafft und dann zurechtformt
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).
Waallathee qaddara fahada
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
und Der das Maß festsetzt und dann rechtleitet
And Who brings out the pasturage,
Waallathee akhraja almarAAa
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
und Der die Weide hervorbringt
And then makes it dark stubble.
FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
und sie dann zu dunkelbrauner Spreu macht.
We shall make you to recite (the Qur'an), so you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) shall not forget (it),
Sanuqrioka fala tansa
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
Wir werden dich lesen lassen, und dann wirst du nichts vergessen,
Except what Allah may will. He knows what is apparent and what is hidden.
Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
außer dem, was Allah will. Er weiß ja, was laut vernehmbar geäußert wird und was verborgen bleibt.
And We shall make easy for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) the easy way (i.e. the doing of righteous deeds).
Wanuyassiruka lilyusra
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Und Wir werden dir den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them).
Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
So ermahne -, wenn die Ermahnung nützt.
The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allah),
Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
Bedenken wird jemand, der gottesfürchtig ist.
But it will be avoided by the wretched,
Wayatajannabuha alashqa
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
Meiden aber wird es der Unseligste,
Who will enter the great Fire (and will be made to taste its burning).
Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
der dem größten (Höllen)feuer ausgesetzt sein wird;
There he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living).
Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
darin wird er hierauf weder sterben noch leben.
Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islamic Monotheism) shall achieve success,
Qad aflaha man tazakka
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Wohl ergehen wird es ja jemandem, der sich läutert,
And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allah), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawafil - additional prayers).
Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
und des Namens seines Herrn gedenkt; so betet er.
Nay, you prefer the life of this world,
Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
Nein! Vielmehr zieht ihr das diesseitige Leben vor,
Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
während das Jenseits besser und beständiger ist.
Verily, this is in the former Scriptures -
Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
Dies ist wahrlich in den früheren Blättern (enthalten),
The Scriptures of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Musa (Moses) (عليهما السلام).
Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
den Blättern Ibrahims und Musas.
