Chapter 53, 62 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the star when it goes down (or vanishes).
Waalnnajmi itha hawa
Bei dem Stern, wenn er sinkt!
وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
Your companion (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has neither gone astray nor has erred.
Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa
Nicht in die Irre geht euer Gefährte, und auch nicht einem Irrtum ist er erlegen,
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
Nor does he speak of (his own) desire.
Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa
und er redet nicht aus (eigener) Neigung.
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ
It is only a Revelation revealed.
In huwa illa wahyun yooha
Es ist nur eine Offenbarung, die eingegeben wird.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌ يُوحَىٰ
He has been taught (this Qur'an) by one mighty in power [Jibril (Gabriel)]
AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa
Belehrt hat ihn der Besitzer starker Kräfte,
عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ
One free from any defect in body and mind then he (Jibril - Gabriel in his real shape as created by Allah) rose and became stable.
Thoo mirratin faistawa
der (geistige) Macht besitzt. So stand Er da
ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ
While he [Jibril (Gabriel)] was in the highest part of the horizon, (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Wahuwa bialofuqi alaAAla
und war am obersten Gesichtskreis.
وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Then he [Jibril (Gabriel)] approached and came closer,
Thumma dana fatadalla
Hierauf kam er näher und stieg herunter,
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ
And was at a distance of two bows' length or (even) nearer.
Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna
so daß er (nur) zwei Bogenlängen entfernt war oder noch näher.
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
So (Allah) revealed to His slave [Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم through Jibril (Gabriel) عليه السلام] whatever He revealed.
Faawha ila AAabdihi ma awha
Da gab Er Seinem Diener (als Offenbarung) ein, was Er eingab.
فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ
The (Prophet's) heart lied not in what he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) saw.
Ma kathaba alfuadu ma raa
Nicht hat sein Herz erlogen, was es sah.
مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ
Will you then dispute with him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) about what he saw [during the Mi'raj: (Ascent of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to the seven heavens)]
Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara
Wollt ihr denn mit ihm streiten über das, was er sieht?
أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ
And indeed he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) saw him [Jibril (Gabriel)] at a second descent (i.e. another time).
Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra
Und er sah ihn ja ein anderes Mal herabkommen,
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ
Near Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (a lote-tree of the utmost boundary over the seventh heaven beyond which none can pass).
AAinda sidrati almuntaha
beim Sidr-Baum des Endziels,
عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ
Near it is the Paradise of Abode.
AAindaha jannatu almawa
bei dem der Garten der Zuflucht ist.
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ
When that covered the lote-tree which did cover it!
Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha
Als den Sidr-Baum überdeckte, was (ihn) überdeckte,
إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ
The sight (of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) turned not aside (right or left), nor it transgressed beyond the limit (ordained for it).
Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha
da wich der Blick nicht ab, noch überschritt er das Maß.
مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ
Indeed he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) did see of the Greatest Signs, of his Lord (Allah).
Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra
Wahrlich, er sah von den Zeichen seines Herrn die größten.
لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ
Have you then considered Al-Lat, and Al-'Uzza (two idols of the pagan Arabs)
Afaraaytumu allata waalAAuzza
Was meint ihr wohl zu al-Lat und al-'Uzza
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ
And Manat (another idol of the pagan Arabs), the other third?
Wamanata alththalithata alokhra
und auch zu Manat, dieser anderen, der dritten?
وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ
Is it for you the males and for Him the females?
Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha
Ist denn für euch das, was männlich ist, und für Ihn das, was weiblich ist (bestimmt)?
أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ
That indeed is a division most unfair!
Tilka ithan qismatun deeza
Das wäre dann eine ungerechte Verteilung.
تِلْكَ إِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَىٰٓ
They are but names which you have named - you and your fathers - for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow but a guess and that which they themselves desire, whereas there has surely come to them the Guidance from their Lord!
In hiya illa asmaon sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wama tahwa alanfusu walaqad jaahum min rabbihimu alhuda
Das sind nur Namen, die ihr genannt habt, ihr und eure Väter, für die Allah (aber) keine Ermächtigung herabgesandt hat. Sie folgen nur Vermutungen und dem, wozu sie selbst neigen, wo doch bereits von ihrem Herrn die Rechtleitung zu ihnen gekommen ist.
إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءٌ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى ٱلْأَنفُسُ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلْ
Or shall man have what he wishes?
Am lilinsani ma tamanna
Oder soll (etwa) der Mensch haben, was (immer) er (sich) wünscht?
أَمْ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ
But to Allah belongs the last (Hereafter) and the first (the world).
Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola
So gehört Allah das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
And there are many angels in the heavens, whose intercession will avail nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He wills and is pleased with.
Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda
Und wie viele Engel gibt es in den Himmeln, deren Fürsprache nichts nützt, außer nachdem Allah es erlaubt hat, wem Er will und wer Sein Wohlgefallen findet.
وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغْنِى شَفَٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرْضَىٰٓ
Verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.
Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati layusammoona almalaikata tasmiyata alontha
Diejenigen, die an das Jenseits nicht glauben, benennen die Engel fürwahr mit Namen, wie weibliche Wesen benannt werden.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ
But they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and verily, guess is no substitute for the truth.
Wama lahum bihi min AAilmin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wainna alththanna la yughnee mina alhaqqi shayan
Sie haben jedoch kein Wissen hierüber. Sie folgen nur Vermutungen; die Vermutungen nützen aber nichts gegenüber der Wahrheit.
وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًٔا
Therefore withdraw (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from him who turns away from Our Reminder (this Qur'an) and desires nothing but the life of this world.
FaaAArid AAan man tawalla AAan thikrina walam yurid illa alhayata alddunya
Laß nun ab von jemandem, der sich von Unserer Ermahnung abkehrt und nur das diesseitige Leben will.
فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
That is what they could reach of knowledge. Verily, your Lord it is He Who knows best him who goes astray from His Path, and He knows best him who receives guidance.
Thalika mablaghuhum mina alAAilmi inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bimani ihtada
Das ist ihr erreichter Wissensstand. Gewiß, dein Herr kennt sehr wohl wer von Seinem Weg abirrt, und Er kennt sehr wohl die Rechtgeleiteten.
ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ
And to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, that He may requite those who do evil with that which they have done (i.e. punish them in Hell), and reward those who do good, with what is best (i.e. Paradise).
Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi liyajziya allatheena asaoo bima AAamiloo wayajziya allatheena ahsanoo bialhusna
Allah gehört (alles), was in den Himmeln und was auf der Erde ist, auf daß Er denjenigen, die Böses tun, das vergelte, was sie tun, und daß Er denjenigen, die Gutes tun, mit dem (Allerbesten vergelte.
وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَٰٓـُٔوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ بِٱلْحُسْنَى
Those who avoid great sins (See the Qur'an, Verses: 6:152,153) and Al-Fawahish (illegal sexual intercourse) except the small faults, - verily, your Lord is of Vast Forgiveness. He knows you well when He created you from the earth (Adam), and when you were fetuses in your mothers' wombs. So ascribe not purity to yourselves. He knows best him who fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him [i.e. those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2)].
Allatheena yajtaniboona kabaira alithmi waalfawahisha illa allamama inna rabbaka wasiAAu almaghfirati huwa aAAlamu bikum ith anshaakum mina alardi waith antum ajinnatun fee butooni ommahatikum fala tuzakkoo anfusakum huwa aAAlamu bimani ittaqa
Diejenigen, die schwerwiegende Sünden und Abscheulichkeiten meiden, außer leichten Verfehlungen... Gewiß, dein Herr ist Allumfassend in (Seiner) Vergebung. Er weiß sehr wohl über euch Bescheid, als Er euch aus der Erde hervorgebracht hat und als ihr Keimlinge in den Leibern eurer Mütter gewesen seid. So erklärt nicht euch selbst für lauter. Er weiß sehr wohl, wer gottesfürchtig ist.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَٰٓئِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّه
Did you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) observe him who turned away (from Islam).
Afaraayta allathee tawalla
Was meinst du wohl zu demjenigen, der sich abkehrt
أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ
And gave a little, then stopped (giving)?
WaaAAta qaleelan waakda
und (nur) wenig gibt und dann (ganz) aussetzt?
وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ
Is with him the knowledge of the Unseen so that he sees?
aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara
Besitzt er (etwa) Wissen über das Verborgene, daß er sehen könnte?
أَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ
Or is he not with what is in the Pages (Scripture) of Musa (Moses),
Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa
Oder wurde ihm nicht kundgetan, was auf den Blättern Musas steht
أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ
And of Ibrahim (Abraham) who fulfilled (or conveyed) all that (Allah ordered him to do or convey):
Waibraheema allathee waffa
und Ibrahims, der (seine Pflichten) erfüllte?
وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ
That no burdened person (with sins) shall bear the burden (sins) of another.
Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra
(Nämlich,) daß keine lasttragende (Seele) die Last einer anderen auf sich nehmen wird
أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ
And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad).
Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa
und daß es für den Menschen nichts anderes geben wird als das, worum er sich (selbst) bemüht,
وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
And that his deeds will be seen.
Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura
daß sein Bemühen gesehen werden wird,
وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ
Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense.
Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa
daß ihm hierauf nach vollem Maß vergolten wird
ثُمَّ يُجْزَىٰهُ ٱلْجَزَآءَ ٱلْأَوْفَىٰ
And that to your Lord (Allah) is the End (Return of everything).
Waanna ila rabbika almuntaha
und daß zu deinem Herrn das Endziel sein wird
وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ
And that it is He (Allah) Who makes (whom He wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep.
Waannahu huwa adhaka waabka
und daß Er es ist, Der lachen und weinen läßt,
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَىٰ
And that it is He (Allah) Who causes death and gives life.
Waannahu huwa amata waahya
und daß Er es ist, Der sterben läßt und wieder lebendig macht,
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَا
And that He (Allah) creates the pairs, male and female,
Waannahu khalaqa alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha
daß Er beide Teile des Paares, das Männliche und das Weibliche, erschafft
وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ
From Nutfah (drops of semen - male and female discharges) when it is emitted.
Min nutfatin itha tumna
aus einem Samentropfen, wenn er ausgespritzt wird,
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَىٰ
And that upon Him (Allah) is another bringing forth (Resurrection).
Waanna AAalayhi alnnashata alokhra
und daß Ihm die letzte Schöpfung obliegt
وَأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰ
And that it is He (Allah) Who gives much or a little (of wealth and contentment)
Waannahu huwa aghna waaqna
und daß Er es ist, Der reich macht und Der genügsam macht,
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغْنَىٰ وَأَقْنَىٰ
And that He (Allah) is the Lord of Sirius (the star which the pagan Arabs used to worship).
Waannahu huwa rabbu alshshiAAra
und daß Er es ist, Der der Herr des Hundssterns ist,
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعْرَىٰ
And that it is He (Allah) Who destroyed the former 'Ad (people),
Waannahu ahlaka AAadan aloola
daß Er die früheren 'Ad vernichtete
وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا ٱلْأُولَىٰ
And Thamud (people): He spared none of them.
Wathamooda fama abqa
und (auch) die Tamud; so ließ Er nichts übrig;
وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَآ أَبْقَىٰ
And the people of Nuh (Noah) aforetime. Verily, they were more unjust and more rebellious and transgressing [in disobeying Allah and His Messenger Nuh (Noah) عليه السلام].
Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo hum athlama waatgha
und zuvor das Volk Nuhs - gewiß, sie waren ja noch ungerechter und übermäßiger (in ihrem Frevel).
وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَىٰ
And He destroyed the overthrown cities [of Sodom to which Prophet Lut (Lot) was sent].
Waalmutafikata ahwa
Und die umgestürzte Stadt ließ Er stürzen.
وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ
So there covered them that which did cover (i.e. torment with stones).
Faghashshaha ma ghashsha
Und so überdeckte sie, was (sie dann) überdeckte.
فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ
Then which of the Graces of your Lord (O man!) will you doubt?
Fabiayyi alai rabbika tatamara
Welche der Wohltaten deines Herrn willst du nun bestreiten?
فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ

Hatha natheerun mina alnnuthuri aloola
Das ist ein Warner wie die früheren Warner.
هَٰذَا نَذِيرٌ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
The Day of Resurrection draws near.
Azifati alazifatu
Es steht bevor die immer näher kommende (Stunde des Gerichts);
أَزِفَتِ ٱلْءَازِفَةُ
None besides Allah can avert it (or advance it or delay it).
Laysa laha min dooni Allahi kashifatun
niemand außer Allah kann sie beheben.
لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ
Do you then wonder at this recitation (the Qur'an)?
Afamin hatha alhadeethi taAAjaboona
Wundert ihr euch denn über diese Aussage
أَفَمِنْ هَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ
And you laugh at it and weep not,
Watadhakoona wala tabkoona
und lacht ihr, und weint ihr nicht,
وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ
Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements (singing, etc.).
Waantum samidoona
und seid ihr noch belustigt?
وَأَنتُمْ سَٰمِدُونَ
So fall you down in prostration to Allah and worship Him (Alone).
Faosjudoo lillahi waoAAbudoo
Werft euch doch vor Allah nieder und dient (Ihm).
فَٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَٱعْبُدُوا۟
