Chapter 91, 15 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the sun and its brightness.
Waalshshamsi waduhaha
Bei der Sonne und ihrer Morgenhelle
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
By the moon as it follows it (the sun).
Waalqamari itha talaha
und dem Mond, wenn er ihr folgt,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
By the day as it shows up (the sun's) brightness.
Waalnnahari itha jallaha
und dem Tag, wenn er sie erscheinen läßt,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
By the night as it conceals it (the sun).
Waallayli itha yaghshaha
und der Nacht, wenn sie sie überdeckt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
By the heaven and Him Who built it.
Waalssamai wama banaha
und dem Himmel und Dem, Der ihn aufgebaut hat,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
By the earth and Him Who spread it.
Waalardi wama tahaha
und der Erde und Dem, Der sie ausgebreitet hat,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
By Nafs (Adam or a person or a soul), and Him Who perfected him in proportion;
Wanafsin wama sawwaha
und einer (jeden) Seele und Dem, Der sie zurechtgeformt hat
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him.
Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha
und ihr dann ihre Sittenlosigkeit und ihre Gottesfurcht eingegeben hat!
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself (i.e. obeys and performs all that Allah ordered, by following the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds).
Qad aflaha man zakkaha
Wohl ergehen wird es ja jemandem, der sie läutert,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e. disobeys what Allah has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds).
Waqad khaba man dassaha
und enttäuscht sein wird ja, wer sie verkümmern läßt.
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
Thamud (people) denied (their Prophet) through their transgression (by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism, and by following polytheism, and by committing every kind of sin).
Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha
Die Tamud erklärten in ihrer Auflehnung (die Botschaft) für Lüge,
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
When the most wicked man among them went forth (to kill the she-camel).
Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha
als der Unseligste von ihnen sich erhob.
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا
But the Messenger of Allah [Salih عليه السلام] said to them: "Be cautious! (Fear the evil end). That is the she-camel of Allah! (Do not harm it) and bar it not from having its drink!"
Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha
Allahs Gesandter sagte zu ihnen: "(Achtet auf) Allahs Kamelstute und ihre Trinkzeit."
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا
Then they denied him and they killed it. So their Lord destroyed them because of their sin, and made them equal in destruction (i.e. all grades of people, rich and poor, strong and weak, etc.)!
Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha
Sie aber bezichtigten ihn der Lüge, und so schnitten sie ihr die Sehnen durch. Da schmetterte ihr Herr sie für ihre Sünde nieder, und so ebnete Er über ihnen die Erde ein.
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
And He (Allah) feared not the consequences thereof.
Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha
Und Er (Allah) fürchtet nicht die Folge davon.
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
