Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped).

And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'an) to Our slave (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), then produce a Surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful.

And give glad tidings to those who believe and do righteous good deeds, that for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise).

Und verkünde denen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun, (die frohe Botschaft,) daß ihnen Gärten zuteil werden, durcheilt von Bächen. Jedesmal, wenn sie mit einer Frucht daraus versorgt werden, sagen sie: "Das ist ja das, womit wir zuvor versorgt wurden"; doch es ist ihnen eine ihr ähnliche gegeben worden. Und darin haben sie vollkommen gereinigte Gattinnen. Und ewig werden sie darin bleiben.
And give glad tidings (O Muhammad) unto those who believe and do good works; that theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow; as often as they are regaled with food of the fruit thereof, they say: this is what was given us aforetime; and it is given to them in resemblance. There for them are pure companions; there for ever they abide.
Verily, Allah is not ashamed to set forth a parable even of a mosquito or so much more when it is bigger (or less when it is smaller) than it.

By it He misleads many, and many He guides thereby. And He misleads thereby only those who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah ).
Allah schämt Sich nicht, ein Gleichnis auch nur mit einer Mücke oder mit etwas darüber (hinaus) zu prägen. Was nun diejenigen angeht, die glauben, so wissen sie, daß es die Wahrheit von ihrem Herrn ist.

Er läßt damit viele in die Irre gehen und leitet viele damit recht, doch läßt Er damit nur die Frevler in die Irre gehen,
Lo! Allah disdaineth not to coin the similitude even of a gnat. Those who believe know that it is the truth from their Lord; but those who disbelieve say: What doth Allah wish (to teach) by such a similitude ? He misleadeth many thereby, and He guideth many thereby; and He misleadeth thereby only miscreants;
Those who break Allah's Covenant after ratifying it, and sever what Allah has ordered to be joined (as regards Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism, and to practise its laws on the earth and also as regards keeping good relations with kith and kin ), and do mischief on earth, it is they who are the losers.
die Allahs Bund nach seiner Abmachung brechen und trennen, was Allah befohlen hat, daß es verbunden werden soll, und auf der Erde Unheil stiften - das sind die Verlierer.
Those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying it, and sever that which Allah ordered to be joined, and (who) make mischief in the earth: Those are they who are the losers.
How can you disbelieve in Allah? seeing that you were dead and He gave you life. Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life (on the Day of Resurrection) and then unto Him you will return (See V.40:11)

He (Allah) said: "I know that which you do not know."
Und als dein Herr zu den Engeln sagte: "Ich bin dabei, auf der Erde einen Statthalter einzusetzen", da sagten sie: "Willst Du auf ihr etwa jemanden einsetzen, der auf ihr Unheil stiftet und Blut vergießt, wo wir Dich doch lobpreisen und Deiner Heiligkeit lobsingen?" Er sagte: "Ich weiß, was ihr nicht wißt."

They (angels) said: "Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise."

And We said: "O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the Paradise and eat both of you freely with pleasure and delight, of things therein as wherever you will, but come not near this tree or you both will be of the Zalimun (wrong-doers)."
Und Wir sagten: "O Adam, bewohne du und deine Gattin den (Paradies)garten, und eßt von ihm reichlich, wo immer ihr wollt! Aber naht euch nicht diesem Baum, sonst gehört ihr zu den Ungerechten!"

Doch Satan entfernte sie davon, und da vertrieb er sie aus dem, worin sie (an Glückseligkeit) gewesen waren. Wir sagten: "Geht fort! Einige von euch seien der anderen Feind. Und auf der Erde sollt ihr Aufenthalt und Nießbrauch auf Zeit haben."
But Satan caused them to deflect therefrom and expelled them from the (happy) state in which they were; and We said: Fall down, one of you a foe unto the other! There shall be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a time.

Und als Wir sagten: "Tretet ein in diese Stadt und dann eßt, wo immer ihr wollt, reichlich von (dem, was in) ihr (ist). Und tretet, euch niederwerfend, durch das Tor ein und sagt: ,Vergebung, so vergeben Wir euch eure Verfehlungen. Und Wir werden den Gutes Tuenden noch mehr erweisen."

And (remember) when Musa (Moses) asked for water for his people, We said: "Strike the stone with your stick." Then gushed forth therefrom twelve springs.

Und als Musa für sein Volk um Wasser bat, da sagten Wir: "Schlag mit deinem Stock auf den Felsen!" Da entsprangen ihm zwölf Quellen. Nun wußte jedermann, wo sein Platz zum Trinken war: "Eßt und trinkt von Allahs Versorgung und richtet auf der Erde nicht unheilstiftend Verderben an!"

And they were covered with humiliation and misery, and they drew on themselves the Wrath of Allah. That was because they used to disbelieve the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations etc.) of Allah and killed the Prophets wrongfully. That was because they disobeyed and used to transgress the bounds (in their disobedience to Allah, i.e. commit crimes and sins).
Und als ihr sagtet: "O Musa, wir halten eine Speise allein nicht aus. Bitte doch für uns deinen Herrn, Er soll für uns etwas hervorbringen von dem, was die Erde wachsen läßt an Grünzeug, Gurken, Getreide, Linsen und Zwiebeln!" Er sagte: "Wollt ihr das, was besser ist, eintauschen gegen das, was geringer (an Wert) ist? Geht fort in (irgendeine) Stadt! Dann werdet ihr bekommen, was ihr verlangt habt." Und es wurde ihnen Erniedrigung und Elend auferlegt, und sie zogen sich den Zorn von Allah zu. Dies, weil sie stets Allahs Zeichen verleugneten und die Propheten ohne Recht töteten; dies, weil sie sich widersetzten und stets übertraten.
And when ye said: O Moses! We are weary of one kind of food; so call upon thy Lord for us that He bring forth for us of that which the earth groweth - of its herbs and its cucumbers and its corn and its lentils and its onions. He said: Would ye exchange that which is higher for that which is lower ? Go down to settled country, thus ye shall get that which ye demand. And humiliation and wretchedness were stamped upon them and they were visited with wrath from Allah. That was because they disbelieved in Allah's revelations and slew the prophets wrongfully. That was for their disobedience and transgression.
Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Gewiß, diejenigen, die glauben, und diejenigen, die dem Judentum angehören, und die Christen und die Säbier - wer immer an Allah und den Jüngsten Tag glaubt und rechtschaffen handelt, - die haben ihren Lohn bei ihrem Herrn, und keine Furcht soll sie überkommen, noch werden sie traurig sein.
Lo! Those who believe (in that which is revealed unto thee, Muhammad), and those who are Jews, and Christians, and Sabaeans - whoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right - surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
And (O Children of Israel, remember) when We took your covenant and We raised above you the Mount (saying): "Hold fast to that which We have given you, and remember that which is therein so that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
Und als Wir mit euch ein Abkommen trafen und den Berg über euch emporhoben (und zu euch sagten): "Haltet fest an dem, was Wir euch gegeben haben, und gedenkt dessen, was es enthält, auf daß ihr gottesfürchtig werden möget!"
And (remember, O Children of Israel) when We made a covenant with you and caused the mount to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast that which We have given you, and remember that which is therein, that ye may ward off (evil).
Then after that you turned away. Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allah upon you, indeed you would have been among the losers.
Dann kehrtet ihr euch nach alledem ab. Aber wenn nicht Allahs Huld gegen euch und Sein Erbarmen gewesen wären, gehörtet ihr wahrlich zu den Verlierern.
Then, even after that, ye turned away, and if it had not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy ye had been among the losers.
And indeed you knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday). We said to them: "Be you monkeys, despised and rejected."
Und ihr kennt doch diejenigen von euch, die den Sabbat übertraten. Da sagten Wir zu ihnen: "Werdet verstoßene Affen!"
And ye know of those of you who broke the Sabbath, how We said unto them: Be ye apes, despised and hated!
So We made this punishment an example to their own and to succeeding generations and a lesson to those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
Und so machten Wir dies für alle mit und nach euch zu einem warnenden Beispiel und zu einer Ermahnung für die Gottesfürchtigen.
And We made it an example to their own and to succeeding generations, and an admonition to the God - fearing.
And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: "Verily, Allah commands you that you slaughter a cow." They said, "Do you make fun of us?" He said, "I take Allah's Refuge from being among Al-Jahilun (the ignorant or the foolish)."
Und als Musa zu seinem Volk sagte: "Allah befiehlt euch, daß ihr eine Kuh schlachten sollt!" Sie sagten: "Machst du dich über uns lustig?" Er sagte: "Ich nehme Zuflucht bei Allah (davor), daß ich zu den Toren gehöre!"
And when Moses said unto his people: Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye sacrifice a cow, they said: Dost thou make game of us ? He answered: Allah forbid that I should be among the foolish!
They said, "Call upon your Lord for us that He may make plain to us what it is!" He said, "He says, 'Verily, it is a cow neither too old nor too young, but (it is) between the two conditions', so do what you are commanded."
Sie sagten: "Bitte für uns deinen Herrn, uns Klarheit zu geben, wie sie sein soll!" Er sagte: "Er (Allah) sagt, es soll eine Kuh sein, die weder zu alt noch zu jung zum Kalben ist, sondern dazwischen, in mittlerem Alter. So tut nun, was euch befohlen wird!"
They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith, Verily she is a cow neither with calf nor immature; (she is) between the two conditions; so do that which ye are commanded.
They said, "Call upon your Lord for us to make plain to us its colour." He said, "He says, 'It is a yellow cow, bright in its colour, pleasing to the beholders.' "
Sie sagten. "Bitte für uns deinen Herrn, uns Klarheit zu geben, welche Farbe sie haben soll!" Er sagte: "Er (Allah) sagt, es soll eine gelbe Kuh sein, von lebhafter Farbe, die die Betrachter erfreut."
They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us of what colour she is. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith: Verily she is a yellow cow. Bright is her colour, gladdening beholders.
They said, "Call upon your Lord for us to make plain to us what it is. Verily, to us all cows are alike. And surely, if Allah wills, we will be guided."
Sie sagten: "Bitte für uns deinen Herrn, uns Klarheit zu geben, wie sie sein soll! Die Kühe erscheinen uns (alle) ähnlich. Doch wenn Allah will, so werden wir wahrlich rechtgeleitet sein."
They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. Lo! cows are much alike to us; and Lo! if Allah wills, we may be led aright.
He [Musa (Moses)] said, "He says, 'It is a cow neither trained to till the soil nor water the fields, sound, having no other colour except bright yellow.' " They said, "Now you have brought the truth." So they slaughtered it though they were near to not doing it.
Er sagte: "Er (Allah) sagt, es soll eine Kuh sein, nicht fügsam gemacht durch Pflügen der Erde noch durch Bewässern von Saatfeld, fehlerfrei und makellos!" Sie sagten: "Jetzt bist du mit der Wahrheit gekommen." So schlachteten sie sie, doch beinahe hätten sie es nicht getan.
(Moses) answered: Lo! He saith: Verily she is a cow unyoked; she plougheth not the soil nor watereth the tilth; whole and without mark. They said: Now thou bringest the truth. So they sacrificed her, though almost they did not.
And (remember) when you killed a man and fell into dispute among yourselves as to the crime. But Allah brought forth that which you were hiding.
Und (gedenkt,) als ihr jemanden getötet hattet und euch darüber strittet; und Allah wollte herausbringen, was ihr verborgen hieltet.
And (remember) when ye slew a man and disagreed concerning it and Allah brought forth that which ye were hiding.
So We said: "Strike him (the dead man) with a piece of it (the cow)." Thus Allah brings the dead to life and shows you His Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) so that you may understand.
Da sagten Wir: "Schlagt ihn mit einem Stück von ihr!" So macht Allah die Toten wieder lebendig und zeigt euch Seine Zeichen, auf daß ihr begreifen möget.
And We said: Smite him with some of it. Thus Allah bringeth the dead to life and showeth you His portents so that ye may understand.
Then, after that, your hearts were hardened and became as stones or even worse in hardness. And indeed, there are stones out of which rivers gush forth, and indeed, there are of them (stones) which split asunder so that water flows from them, and indeed, there are of them (stones) which fall down for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
Hierauf, nach alledem, verhärteten sich dann eure Herzen, so daß sie wie Steine waren oder noch härter. Und unter den Steinen gibt es wahrlich manche, denen Flüsse entspringen, und andere, die bersten, worauf Wasser aus ihnen herausfließt, und wieder andere, die herabstürzen aus Furcht vor Allah. Und Allah ist nicht unachtsam dessen, was ihr tut.
Then, even after that, your hearts were hardened and became as rocks, or worse than rocks, for hardness. For indeed there are rocks from out which rivers gush, and indeed there are rocks which split asunder so that water floweth from them. And indeed there are rocks which fall down for the fear of Allah. Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
Do you (faithful believers) covet that they will believe in your religion inspite of the fact that a party of them (Jewish rabbis) used to hear the Word of Allah [the Taurat (Torah)], then they used to change it knowingly after they understood it?
Begehrt ihr (Muslime) denn, daß sie (die Juden) euch glauben, wo doch eine Gruppe von ihnen das Wort Allahs gehört und es dann, nachdem er es begriffen hatte, wissentlich verfälscht hat?
Have ye any hope that they will be true to you when a party of them used to listen to the word of Allah, then used to change it, after they had understood it, knowingly ?
And when they (Jews) meet those who believe (Muslims), they say, "We believe", but when they meet one another in private, they say, "Shall you (Jews) tell them (Muslims) what Allah has revealed to you [Jews, about the description and the qualities of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, that which are written in the Taurat (Torah)] , that they (Muslims) may argue with you (Jews) about it before your Lord?" Have you (Jews) then no understanding?
Und wenn sie diejenigen treffen, die glauben, sagen sie: "Wir glauben." Wenn sie aber untereinander allein sind, sagen sie: "Wollt ihr ihnen erzählen, was Allah euch (Juden) enthüllt hat, damit sie es vor eurem Herrn als Beweis vorlegen? Begreift ihr denn nicht?"
And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe. But when they go apart one with another they say: Prate ye to them of that which Allah hath disclosed to you that they may contend with you before your Lord concerning it ? Have ye then no sense ?
Know they (Jews) not that Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal?
Wissen sie denn nicht, daß Allah weiß, was sie geheimhalten und was sie offen legen?
Are they then unaware that Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim ?
And there are among them (Jews) unlettered people, who know not the Book, but they trust upon false desires and they but guess.
Unter ihnen gibt es auch Schriftunkundige, die die Schrift nicht kennen, sondern nur Wunschvorstellungen hegen, und die doch nur Mutmaßungen anstellen.
Among them are unlettered folk who know the Scripture not except from hearsay. They but guess.
Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands and then say, "This is from Allah," to purchase with it a little price! Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for that they earn thereby.
Doch wehe denjenigen, die die Schrift mit ihren (eigenen) Händen schreiben und hierauf sagen: "Das ist von Allah", um sie für einen geringen Preis zu verkaufen! Wehe ihnen wegen dessen, was ihre Hände geschrieben haben, und wehe ihnen wegen dessen, was sie verdienen.
Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and woe unto them for that they earn thereby.
And they (Jews) say, "The Fire (i.e. Hell-fire on the Day of Resurrection) shall not touch us but for a few numbered days." Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to them): "Have you taken a covenant from Allah, so that Allah will not break His Covenant? Or is it that you say of Allah what you know not?"
Und sie sagen: "Das (Höllen)feuer wird uns nur für gezählte Tage berühren." Sag: Habt ihr mit Allah einen Bund geschlossen? Dann wird Allah Seinen Bund nicht brechen. Oder wollt ihr von Allah etwas sagen, was ihr nicht wißt?
And they say: The Fire (of punishment) will not touch us save for a certain number of days. Say: Have ye received a covenant from Allah - truly Allah will not break His covenant - or tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not ?
Yes! Whosoever earns evil and his sin has surrounded him, they are dwellers of the Fire (i.e. Hell); they will dwell therein forever.
Aber nein! Wer eine böse Tat begangen hat, und wen seine Verfehlung umfangen hält, das sind Insassen des (Höllen)feuers. Ewig werden sie darin bleiben.
Nay, but whosoever hath done evil and his sin surroundeth him; such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein.
And those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah تعالى - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they will dwell therein forever. (See V. 2:257)
Diejenigen aber, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun, das sind Insassen des (Paradies)gartens. Ewig werden sie darin bleiben.
And those who believe and do good works: such are rightful owners of the Garden. They will abide therein.
And (remember) when We took a covenant from the Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none but Allah (Alone) and be dutiful and good to parents, and to kindred, and to orphans and Al-Masakin (the poor), and speak good to people [i.e. enjoin righteousness and forbid evil, and say the truth about Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم], and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat. Then you slid back, except a few of you, while you are backsliders. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi).
Und als Wir mit den Kindern Isra'ils ein Abkommen trafen: Dient keinem außer Allah! Und zu den Eltern sollt ihr gütig sein und zu den Verwandten, den Waisen und den Armen! Und sagt Gutes zu den Menschen, verrichtet das Gebet und entrichtet die Abgabe. Danach kehrtet ihr euch - bis auf wenige von euch - ab; ihr seid ja Widerstrebende.
And (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none save Allah (only), and be good to parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind; and establish worship and pay the poor - due. Then, after that, ye slid back, save a few of you, being averse.
And (remember) when We took your covenant (saying): Shed not the blood of your (people), nor turn out your own people from their dwellings. Then, (this) you ratified and (to this) you bear witness.
Und als Wir mit euch ein Abkommen trafen: Vergießt nicht (gegenseitig) euer Blut und vertreibt euch nicht selbst aus euren Wohnstätten! Hierauf habt ihr euch dazu bekannt und ihr seid dafür Zeugen.
And when We made with you a covenant (saying): Shed not the blood of your people nor turn (a party of) your people out of your dwellings. Then ye ratified (Our covenant) and ye were witnesses (thereto).
After this, it is you who kill one another and drive out a party of you from their homes, assist (their enemies) against them, in sin and transgression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although their expulsion was forbidden to you. Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
Dennoch seid (gerade) ihr es, die ihr euch selbst (gegenseitig) tötet und eine Gruppe von euch aus seinen Wohnstätten vertreibt, indem ihr einander in Sünde und feindseligem Vorgehen gegen sie beisteht. Und wenn sie als Gefangene zu euch kommen, so kauft ihr sie los, wo euch doch ihre Vertreibung verboten worden ist. Glaubt ihr denn an einen Teil der Schrift und verleugnet einen anderen? Wer von euch aber solches tut, dessen Lohn ist nur Schande im diesseitigen Leben. Und am Tag der Auferstehung werden sie der schwersten Strafe zugeführt werden. Und Allah ist nicht unachtsam dessen, was ihr tut.
Yet ye it is who slay each other and drive out a party of your people from their homes, supporting one another against them by sin and transgression ? - and if they came to you as captives ye would ransom them, whereas their expulsion was itself unlawful for you - Believe ye in part of the Scripture and disbelieve ye in part thereof ? And what is the reward of those who do so save ignominy in the life of the world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be consigned to the most grievous doom. For Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
Those are they who have bought the life of this world at the price of the Hereafter. Their torment shall not be lightened nor shall they be helped.
Das sind diejenigen, die das diesseitige Leben für das Jenseits erkauft haben. Deshalb wird ihre Strafe nicht erleichtert werden, und ihnen wird keine Hilfe zuteil.
Such are those who buy the life of the world at the price of the Hereafter. Their punishment will not be lightened, neither will they have support.
And indeed, We gave Musa (Moses) the Book and followed him up with a succession of Messengers. And We gave 'Îsa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), clear signs and supported him with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel عليه السلام)]. Is it that whenever there came to you a Messenger with what you yourselves desired not, you grew arrogant? Some you disbelieved and some you killed.
Und Wir gaben bereits Musa die Schrift und ließen nach ihm die Gesandten folgen. Und Wir gaben 'Isa, dem Sohn Maryams, die klaren Beweise und stärkten ihn mit dem Heiligen Geist. War es nicht (so), daß jedesmal, wenn euch (Juden) ein Gesandter etwas überbrachte, was euren Neigungen nicht entsprach, ihr euch hochmütig verhieltet, indem ihr eine Gruppe (der Gesandten) der Lüge bezichtigtet und eine (andere) Gruppe tötetet?
And verily We gave unto Moses the Scripture and We caused a train of messengers to follow after him, and We gave unto Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's sovereignty), and We supported him with the Holy spirit. Is it ever so, that, when there cometh unto you a messenger (from Allah) with that which ye yourselves desire not, ye grow arrogant, and some ye disbelieve and some ye slay ?
And they say, "Our hearts are wrapped (i.e. do not hear or understand Allah's Word)." Nay, Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so little is that which they believe.
Und sie sagen: "Unsere Herzen sind verhüllt." Nein! Vielmehr hat Allah sie für ihren Unglauben verflucht. Wie wenig sie glauben!
And they say: Our hearts are hardened. Nay, but Allah hath cursed them for their unbelief. Little is that which they believe.
And when there came to them (the Jews), a Book (this Qur'an) from Allah confirming what is with them [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], although aforetime they had invoked Allah (for coming of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) in order to gain victory over those who disbelieved, then when there came to them that which they had recognised, they disbelieved in it. So let the Curse of Allah be on the disbelievers.
Und als von Allah ein Buch zu ihnen kam, das bestätigend, was ihnen bereits vorlag - und zuvor hatten sie um einen entscheidenden Sieg über diejenigen, die ungläubig waren, angerufen -, als nun das zu ihnen kam, was sie kannten, verleugneten sie es. Darum Allahs Fluch über die Ungläubigen!
And when there cometh unto them a scripture from Allah, confirming that in their possession - though before that they were asking for a signal triumph over those who disbelieved - and when there cometh unto them that which they know (to be the truth) they disbelieve therein. The curse of Allah is on disbelievers.
How bad is that for which they have sold their ownselves, that they should disbelieve in that which Allah has revealed (the Qur'an), grudging that Allah should reveal of His Grace unto whom He wills of His slaves. So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers, there is disgracing torment.
Wie schlimm ist das, wofür sie ihre Seelen verkauft haben: daß sie das verleugnen, was Allah herabgesandt hat, aus Mißgunst (darüber), daß Allah etwas von Seiner Huld offenbart, wem von Seinen Dienern Er will! So haben sie sich Zorn über Zorn zugezogen. Und für die Ungläubigen gibt es schmachvolle Strafe.
Evil is that for which they sell their souls: that they should disbelieve in that which Allah hath revealed, grudging that Allah should reveal of His bounty unto whom He will of His slaves. They have incurred anger upon anger. For disbelievers is a shameful doom.
And when it is said to them (the Jews), "Believe in what Allah has sent down," they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us." And they disbelieve in that which came after it, while it is the truth confirming what is with them. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to them): "Why then have you killed the Prophets of Allah aforetime, if you indeed have been believers?"
Und wenn man zu ihnen sagt: "Glaubt an das, was Allah (als Offenbarung) herabgesandt hat", sagen sie: "Wir glauben an das, was zu uns (schon zuvor) herabgesandt worden ist", verleugnen aber das, was später (offenbart worden) ist, wo es doch die Wahrheit ist, das zu bestätigen, was ihnen (bereits) vorliegt. Sag: Warum habt ihr denn zuvor Allahs Propheten getötet, wenn ihr gläubig seid?
And when it is said unto them: Believe in that which Allah hath revealed, they say: We believe in that which was revealed unto us. And they disbelieve in that which cometh after it, though it is the truth confirming that which they possess. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Why then slew ye the prophets of Allah aforetime, if ye are (indeed) believers ?
And indeed Musa (Moses) came to you with clear proofs, yet you worshipped the calf after he left, and you were Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers).
Und Musa war doch zu euch gekommen mit den klaren Beweisen. Aber dann nahmt ihr das Kalb an nach ihm, womit ihr Unrecht tatet.
And Moses came unto you with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), yet, while he was away, ye chose the calf (for worship) and ye were wrong - doers.
And (remember) when We took your covenant and We raised above you the Mount (saying), "Hold firmly to what We have given you and hear (Our Word)." They said, "We have heard and disobeyed." And their hearts absorbed (the worship of) the calf because of their disbelief. Say: "Worst indeed is that which your faith enjoins on you if you are believers."
Und als Wir mit euch ein Abkommen trafen und den Berg über euch emporhoben (und zu euch sagten): "Haltet fest an dem, was Wir euch gegeben haben und hört." Sie sagten: "Wir hören, doch wir widersetzen uns." Und es geschah ihnen durch ihren Unglauben, daß (die Liebe für) das Kalb in ihre Herzen eindrang. Sag: Wie schlimm ist das, was euch euer Glaube gebietet, wenn ihr gläubig seid!
And when We made with you a covenant and caused the Mount to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast by that which We have given you, and hear (Our Word), they said: We hear and we rebel. And (worship of) the calf was made to sink into their hearts because of their rejection (of the covenant). Say (unto them): Evil is that which your belief enjoineth on you, if ye are believers.
Say to (them): "If the home of the Hereafter with Allah is indeed for you specially and not for others, of mankind, then long for death if you are truthful."
Sag: Wenn die jenseitige Wohnstätte bei Allah euch (Juden) vorbehalten ist unter Ausschluß der (anderen) Menschen, dann wünscht (euch) den Tod, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid!
Say (unto them): If the abode of the Hereafter in the providence of Allah is indeed for you alone and not for others of mankind (as ye pretend), then long for death (for ye must long for death) if ye are truthful.
But they will never long for it because of what their hands have sent before them (i.e. what they have done). And Allah is All-Aware of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers).
Aber sie werden ihn sich niemals wünschen wegen dessen, was ihre Hände (an Taten) vorausgeschickt haben. Und Allah weiß über die Ungerechten Bescheid.
But they will never long for it, because of that which their own hands have sent before them. Allah is aware of evil - doers.
And verily, you will find them (the Jews) the greediest of mankind for life and (even greedier) than those who ascribe partners to Allah (and do not believe in Resurrection - Majus, pagans, and idolaters). Everyone of them wishes that he could be given a life of a thousand years. But the grant of such life will not save him even a little from (due) punishment. And Allah is All-Seer of what they do.
Und ganz gewiß wirst du sie als die gierigsten Menschen nach Leben finden, sogar mehr (noch) als diejenigen, die (Allah etwas) beigesellen. (Manch) einer von ihnen möchte gern tausend Jahre am Leben bleiben, aber selbst daß er am Leben bliebe, würde ihn nicht das der Strafe entrücken. Allah sieht wohl, was sie tun.
And thou wilt find them greediest of mankind for life and (greedier) than the idolaters. (Each) one of them would like to be allowed to live a thousand years. And to live (a thousand years) would be no means remove him from the doom. Allah is Seer of what they do.
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Whoever is an enemy to Jibril (Gabriel) (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Qur'an) down to your heart by Allah's Permission, confirming what came before it [i.e. the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and guidance and glad tidings for the believers.
Sag: Wer (auch immer) Gibril feind ist, so hat er ihn doch (den Qur'an) mit Allahs Erlaubnis in dein Herz offenbart, das zu bestätigen, was vor ihm (offenbart) war, und als Rechtleitung und frohe Botschaft für die Gläubigen.
Say (O Muhammad, to mankind): Who is an enemy to Gabriel! For he it is who hath revealed (this Scripture) to thy heart by Allah's leave, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, and a guidance and glad tidings to believers;
Whoever is an enemy to Allah, His Angels, His Messengers, Jibril (Gabriel) and Mika'il (Michael), then verily, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers."
Wer Allah und Seinen Engeln und Seinen Gesandten und Gibril und Mikal feind ist, so ist Allah den Ungläubigen feind.
Who is an enemy to Allah, and His angels and His messengers, and Gabriel and Michael! Then, lo! Allah (Himself) is an enemy to the disbelievers.
And indeed We have sent down to you manifest Ayat (these Verses of the Qur'an which inform in detail about the news of the Jews and their secret intentions, etc.), and none disbelieve in them but Fasiqun (those who rebel against Allah's Command).
Und Wir haben zu dir ja (im Qur'an) klare Zeichen hinabgesandt. Doch nur die Frevler verleugnen sie.
Verily We have revealed unto thee clear tokens, and only miscreants will disbelieve in them.
Is it not (the case) that every time they make a covenant, some party among them throw it aside? Nay! (the truth is:) most of them believe not.
Ist es nicht (so), daß jedesmal, wenn sie eine Verpflichtung eingingen, sie eine Gruppe von ihnen verworfen hat? - Nein! Vielmehr glauben die meisten von ihnen (doch) nicht.
Is it ever so that when they make a covenant a party of them set it aside ? The truth is, most of them believe not.
And when there came to them a Messenger from Allah (i.e. Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) confirming what was with them, a party of those who were given the Scripture threw away the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know!
Und als (nun) zu ihnen ein Gesandter von Allah gekommen ist, das bestätigend, was ihnen (an Offenbarungen) bereits vorlag, da hat eine Gruppe von denjenigen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, das Buch Allahs hinter ihren Rücken geworfen, als ob sie nicht Bescheid wüßten.
And when there cometh unto them a messenger from Allah, confirming that which they possess, a party of those who have received the Scripture fling the Scripture of Allah behind their backs as if they knew not,
They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut and Marut, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, "We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)." And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's Leave. And they learn that which harms them and profits them not. And indeed they knew that the buyers of it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for which they sold their ownselves, if they but knew.
Und sie folgten dem, was die Teufel unter der Herrschaft Sulaimans (den Menschen) verlasen. Nicht Sulaiman war ungläubig, sondern die Teufel waren es, indem sie die Menschen in der Zauberei unterwiesen und in dem, was auf die (beiden) engelhaften Männer) in Babel, Harut und Marut, herabgesandt worden war. Und sie (beide) unterwiesen niemanden (in der Zauberei), ohne zu sagen: "Wir sind nur eine Versuchung; so werde (darum) nicht ungläubig." Und so lernten sie von ihnen (beiden) das (Zaubermittel), womit man Zwietracht zwischen den Ehegatten stiftet. Doch können sie damit niemandem schaden, außer mit Allahs Erlaubnis. Und sie erlernten, was ihnen schadet und nicht nützt. Und sie wußten doch, daß, wer es erkaufte, am Jenseits wahrlich keinen Anteil hätte. Fürwahr, wie schlimm ist das, wofür sie ihre Seelen verkauft haben, wenn sie (es) nur wußten!
And follow that which the devils falsely related against the kingdom of Solomon. Solomon disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved, teaching mankind magic and that which was revealed to the two angels in Babel, Harut and Marut. Nor did they (the two angels) teach it to anyone till they had said: We are only a temptation, therefore disbelieve not (in the guidance of Allah). And from these two (angles) people learn that by which they cause division between man and wife; but they injure thereby no - one save by Allah's leave. And they learn that which harmeth them and profiteth them not. And surely they do know that he who trafficketh therein will have no (happy) portion in the Hereafter; and surely evil is the price for which they sell their souls, if they but knew.
And if they had believed, and guarded themselves from evil and kept their duty to Allah, far better would have been the reward from their Lord, if they but knew!
Und wenn sie geglaubt hätten und gottesfürchtig gewesen wären, dann wäre eine Belohnung von Allah dafür wahrlich besser (als das, was sie erkauft haben), wenn sie (es) nur wüßten.
And if they had believed and kept from evil, a recompense from Allah would be better, if they only knew.
O you who believe! Say not (to the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم) Ra'ina but say Unzurna (make us understand) and hear. And for the disbelievers there is a painful torment. (See Verse 4:46)
O die ihr glaubt, sagt nicht (zum Propheten): "ra'ina" sondern sagt: "unzurna" Und hört (auf den Propheten)! Und für die Ungläubigen wird es schmerzhafte Strafe geben.
O ye who believe, say not (unto the Prophet): "Listen to us" but say "Look upon us," and be ye listeners. For disbelievers is a painful doom.
Neither those who disbelieve among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) nor Al-Mushrikun (the idolaters, polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, pagans, etc.) like that there should be sent down unto you any good from your Lord. But Allah chooses for His Mercy whom He wills. And Allah is the Owner of Great Bounty.
Weder diejenigen unter den Leuten der Schrift, die ungläubig sind, noch die Götzendiener möchten, daß euch etwas Gutes von eurem Herrn offenbart wird. Aber Allah zeichnet mit Seinem Erbarmen aus, wen Er will, denn Allah besitzt große Huld.
Neither those who disbelieve among the people of the Scripture nor the idolaters love that there should be sent down unto you any good thing from your Lord. But Allah chooseth for His mercy whom He will, and Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allah is able to do all things?
Was Wir an Versen aufheben oder in Vergessenheit geraten lassen - Wir bringen bessere oder gleichwertige dafür. Weißt du denn nicht, daß Allah zu allem die Macht hat?
Nothing of our revelation (even a single verse) do we abrogate or cause be forgotten, but we bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah is Able to do all things ?
Know you not that it is Allah to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth? And besides Allah you have neither any Wali (protector or guardian) nor any helper.
Weißt du denn nicht, daß Allah es ist, Der die Herrschaft über die Himmel und die Erde hat, und daß ihr außer Allah weder Schutzherrn noch Helfer habt?
Knowest thou not that it is Allah unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and ye have not, beside Allah, any guardian or helper ?
Or do you want to ask your Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) as Musa (Moses) was asked before (i.e. show us openly our Lord)? And he who changes Faith for disbelief, verily, he has gone astray from the Right Way.
Oder wollt ihr vielmehr euren Gesandten bitten, so wie zuvor schon Musa gebeten worden war. Wer den Glauben mit dem Unglauben vertauscht, der ist fürwahr vom rechten Weg abgeirrt.
Or would ye question your messenger as Moses was questioned aforetime ? He who chooseth disbelief instead of faith, verily he hath gone astray from a plain road.
Many of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) wish that if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed, out of envy from their ownselves, even after the truth (that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is Allah's Messenger) has become manifest unto them. But forgive and overlook, till Allah brings His Command. Verily, Allah is Able to do all things.
Viele von den Leuten der Schrift möchten euch, nachdem ihr den Glauben (angenommen) habt, wieder zu Ungläubigen machen, aus Mißgunst von sich selbst aus, nachdem ihnen die Wahrheit klargeworden ist. Doch verzeiht und seid nachsichtig, bis Allah mit Seiner Anordnung kommt! Allah hat zu allem die Macht.
Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them. Forgive and be indulgent (toward them) until Allah give command. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
And perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat and whatever of good (deeds that Allah loves) you send forth for yourselves before you, you shall find it with Allah. Certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what you do.
Und verrichtet das Gebet und entrichtet die Abgabe. Und was ihr für euch selbst an Gutem vorausschickt, werdet ihr bei Allah finden. Was ihr tut, sieht Allah wohl.
Establish worship, and pay the poor - due; and whatever of good ye send before (you) for your souls, ye will find it with Allah. Lo! Allah is Seer of what ye do.
And they say, "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." These are their own desires. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), "Produce your proof if you are truthful."
Und sie sagen: "Niemand wird in den (Paradies)garten eingehen außer, wer Jude oder Christ ist." Das sind ihre Wünsche. Sag: "Bringt euren Beweis vor, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid!"
And they say: None entereth paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian. These are their own desires. Say: Bring your proof (of what ye state) if ye are truthful.
Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah (i.e. follows Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin then his reward is with his Lord (Allah), on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. [See Tafsir Ibn Kathir ].
Aber nein! Wer sich Allah völlig hingibt und dabei Gutes tut, dessen Lohn steht für ihn bei seinem Herrn. Und sie soll keine Furcht überkommen, noch sollen sie traurig sein.
Nay, but whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good, his reward is with his Lord; and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
The Jews said that the Christians follow nothing (i.e. are not on the right religion); and the Christians said that the Jews follow nothing (i.e. are not on the right religion); though they both recite the Scripture. Like unto their word, said (the pagans) who know not. Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they have been differing.
Die Juden sagen: "Auf nichts fußen die Christen"; und die Christen sagen: "Auf nichts fußen die Juden", obwohl sie doch (beide) die Schrift lesen. Dergleichen Worte führten schon diejenigen, die nicht Bescheid wissen. Aber Allah wird zwischen ihnen am Tag der Auferstehung über das richten, worüber sie uneinig sind.
And the Jews say the Christians follow nothing (true), and the Christians say the Jews follow nothing (true); yet both are readers of the Scripture. Even thus speak those who know not. Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differ.
And who are more unjust than those who forbid that Allah's Name be glorified and mentioned much (i.e. prayers and invocations, etc.) in Allah's Mosques and strive for their ruin? It was not fitting that such should themselves enter them (Allah's Mosques) except in fear. For them there is disgrace in this world, and they will have a great torment in the Hereafter.
Und wer ist ungerechter, als wer verhindert, daß an Allahs Gebetsstätten Sein Name genannt wird, und sich bemüht, sie zu zerstören? Jene sollen sie nur in Furcht betreten. Für sie gibt es im Diesseits Schande und im Jenseits gewaltige Strafe.
And who doth greater wrong than he who forbiddeth the approach to the sanctuaries of Allah lest His name should be mentioned therein, and striveth for their ruin. As for such, it was never meant that they should enter them except in fear. Theirs in the world is ignominy and theirs in the Hereafter is an awful doom.
And to Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn (yourselves or your faces) there is the Face of Allah (and He is High above, over His Throne). Surely! Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knowing.
Allah gehört der Osten und der Westen; wohin ihr euch auch immer wendet, dort ist Allahs Angesicht. Allah ist Allumfassend und Allwissend.
Unto Allah belong the East and the West, and whithersoever ye turn, there is Allah's Countenance. Lo! Allah is All - Embracing, All - Knowing.
And they (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: Allah has begotten a son (children or offspring) . Glory be to Him (Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth, and all surrender with obedience (in worship) to Him.
Und sie sagen: "Allah hat Sich Kinder genommen." Preis sei Ihm! Nein! Vielmehr gehört Ihm (alles), was in den Himmeln und auf der Erde ist. Alle sind Ihm demütig ergeben.
And they say: Allah hath taken unto Himself a son. Be He glorified! Nay, but whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth is His. All are subservient unto Him.
The Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: "Be!" - and it is.
(Er ist) der Schöpfer der Himmel und der Erde in ihrer schönsten Form. Und wenn Er eine Angelegenheit bestimmt, so sagt Er zu ihr nur: "Sei!" und so ist sie.
The Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.
And those who have no knowledge say: "Why does not Allah speak to us (face to face) or why does not a sign come to us?" So said the people before them words of similar import. Their hearts are alike, We have indeed made plain the signs for people who believe with certainty.
Und diejenigen, die nicht Bescheid wissen, sagen: "O würde Allah doch zu uns sprechen oder käme zu uns ein Zeichen!" Dergleichen Worte führten schon diejenigen, die vor ihnen waren. Ihre Herzen sind einander ähnlich. Wir haben die Zeichen klargemacht für Leute, die überzeugt sind.
And those who have no knowledge say: Why doth not Allah speak unto us, or some sign come unto us ? Even thus, as they now speak, spake those (who were) before them. Their hearts are all alike. We have made clear the revelations for people who are sure.
Verily, We have sent you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with the truth (Islam), a bringer of glad tidings (for those who believe in what you brought, that they will enter Paradise) and a warner (for those who disbelieve in what you brought, that they will enter the Hell-fire). And you will not be asked about the dwellers of the blazing Fire.
Gewiß, Wir haben dich mit der Wahrheit gesandt als Frohboten und als Warner. Und du wirst nicht nach den (Taten der) Insassen des Höllenbrandes gefragt werden.
Lo! We have sent thee (O Muhammad) with the truth, a bringer of glad tidings and a warner. And thou wilt not be asked about the owners of hell - fire.
Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) till you follow their religion. Say: "Verily, the Guidance of Allah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) that is the (only) Guidance. And if you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) were to follow their (Jews and Christians) desires after what you have received of Knowledge (i.e. the Qur'an), then you would have against Allah neither any Wali (protector or guardian) nor any helper.
Weder die Juden noch die Christen werden mit dir zufrieden sein, bis du ihrem Glaubensbekenntnis folgst. Sag: Gewiß, Allahs Rechtleitung ist die (wahre) Rechtleitung. Wenn du jedoch ihren Neigungen folgst nach dem, was dir an Wissen zugekommen ist, so wirst du vor Allah weder Schutzherrn noch Helfer haben.
And the Jews will not be pleased with thee, nor will the Christians, till thou follow their creed. Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah (Himself) is Guidance. And if thou shouldst follow their desires after the knowledge which hath come unto thee, then wouldst thou have from Allah no protecting guardian nor helper.
Those (who embraced Islam from Bani Israel) to whom We gave the Book [the Taurat (Torah)] [or those (Muhammad's صلى الله عليه وسلم companions) to whom We have given the Book (the Qur'an)] recite it (i.e. obey its orders and follow its teachings) as it should be recited (i.e. followed), they are the ones who believe therein. And whoso disbelieve in it (the Qur'an), those are they who are the losers. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi).
Diejenigen, denen Wir die Schrift gegeben haben, lesen sie, wie es ihr zusteht; sie glauben daran. Wer sie jedoch verleugnet, das sind die Verlierer.
Those unto whom We have given the Scripture, who read it with the right reading, those believe in it. And whoso disbelieveth in it, those are they who are the losers.
O Children of Israel! Remember My Favour which I bestowed upon you and that I preferred you to the 'Alamin [mankind and jinn (of your time-period, in the past)].
O Kinder Isra'ils, gedenkt Meiner Gunst, die Ich euch erwiesen, und daß Ich euch vor den (anderen) Weltenbewohnern bevorzugt habe.
O Children of Israel! Remember My favour wherewith I favoured you and how I preferred you to (all) creatures.
And fear the Day (of Judgement) when no person shall avail another, nor shall compensation be accepted from him, nor shall intercession be of use to him, nor shall they be helped.
Und hütet euch vor einem Tag, an dem keine Seele etwas anstelle einer anderen leisten kann und von ihr keine Ersatz(leistung) angenommen wird, noch Fürsprache ihr nützt; und (an dem) ihnen keine Hilfe zuteil wird.
And guard (yourselves) against a day when no soul will in aught avail another, nor will compensation be accepted from it, nor will intercession be of use to it; nor will they be helped.
And (remember) when the Lord of Ibrahim (Abraham) [i.e., Allah] tried him with (certain) Commands, which he fulfilled. He (Allah) said (to him), "Verily, I am going to make you an Imam (a leader) for mankind (to follow you)." [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said, "And of my offspring (to make leaders)." (Allah) said, "My Covenant (Prophethood) includes not Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)."
Und (gedenkt,) als Ibrahim von seinem Herrn mit Worten geprüft wurde, da befolgte er sie. Er (Allah) sagte: "Ich will dich zu einem Vorbild für die Menschen machen." Er (Ibrahim) sagte: "Und von meiner Nachkommenschaft?" Er sagte: "Mein Bund erstreckt sich nicht auf die Ungerechten."
And (remember) when his Lord tried Abraham with (His) commands, and he fulfilled them, He said: Lo! I have appointed thee a leader for mankind. (Abraham) said: And of my offspring (will there be leaders) ? He said: My covenant includeth not wrong - doers.
And (remember) when We made the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) a place of resort for mankind and a place of safety. And take you (people) the Maqam (place) of Ibrahim (Abraham) [or the stone on which Ibrahim (Abraham) عليه السلام stood while he was building the Ka'bah] as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers, e.g. two Rak'at after the Tawaf of the Ka'bahat Makkah), and We commanded Ibrahim (Abraham) and Isma'il (Ishmael) that they should purify My House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) for those who are circumambulating it, or staying (I'tikaf), or bowing or prostrating themselves (there, in prayer).
Und als Wir das Haus zu einem Ort der Einkehr für die Menschen und zu einer Stätte der Sicherheit machten und (sagten): "Nehmt Ibrahims Standort als Gebetsplatz!" Und Wir verpflichteten Ibrahim und Isma'il: "Reinigt Mein Haus für diejenigen, die den Umlauf vollziehen und die sich (dort) zur Andacht zurückziehen und die sich (vor Allah) verbeugen und niederwerfen."
And when We made the House (at Makka) a resort for mankind and sanctuary, (saying): Take as your place of worship the place where Abraham stood (to pray). And We imposed a duty upon Abraham and Ishmael, (saying): Purify My house for those who go around and those who meditate therein and those who bow down and prostrate themselves (in worship).
And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said, "My Lord, make this city (Makkah) a place of security and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day." He (Allah) answered: "As for him who disbelieves, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the torment of the Fire, and worst indeed is that destination!"
Und (gedenkt,) als Ibrahim sagte: "Mein Herr, mache dies zu einer sicheren Ortschaft und versorge ihre Bewohner mit Früchten, wer von ihnen an Allah und den Jüngsten Tag glaubt!" Er (Allah) sagte: "Wer aber ungläubig ist, den lasse Ich ein wenig genießen, hierauf zwinge Ich ihn in die Strafe des (Höllen)feuers - ein schlimmer Ausgang!"
And when Abraham prayed: My Lord! Make this a region of security and bestow upon its people fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day, He answered: As for him who disbelieveth, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the doom of Fire - a hapless journey's end!
And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) and (his son) Isma'il (Ishmael) were raising the foundations of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah), (saying), "Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower."
Und (gedenkt,) als Ibrahim die Grundmauern des Hauses errichtete, zusammen mit Isma'il, (da beteten sie): "Unser Herr, nimm (es) von uns an. Du bist ja der Allhörende und Allwissende.
And when Abraham and Ishmael were raising the foundations of the House, (Abraham prayed): Our Lord! Accept from us (this duty). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Hearer, the Knower.
Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You, and show us our Manasik (all the ceremonies of pilgrimage - Hajjand 'Umrah), and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.
Unser Herr, mache uns Dir ergeben und von unserer Nachkommenschaft eine Dir ergebene Gemeinschaft. Und zeige uns unsere Riten, und nimm unsere Reue an. Du bist ja der Reue-Annehmende und Barmherzige.
Our Lord! And make us submissive unto Thee and of our seed a nation submissive unto Thee, and show us our ways of worship, and relent toward us. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Relenting, the Merciful.
Our Lord! Send amongst them a Messenger of their own (and indeed Allah answered their invocation by sending Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), who shall recite unto them Your Verses and instruct them in the Book (this Qur'an) and Al-Hikmah (full knowledge of the Islamic laws and jurisprudence or wisdom or Prophethood), and purify them. Verily! You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."
Unser Herr, schicke zu ihnen einen Gesandten von ihnen, der ihnen Deine Worte verliest und sie das Buch und die Weisheit lehrt und sie läutert. Du bist ja der Allmächtige und Allweise."
Our Lord! And raise up in their midst a messenger from among them who shall recite unto them Thy revelations, and shall instruct them in the Scripture and in wisdom and shall make them grow. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, Wise.
And who turns away from the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham) (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) except him who befools himself? Truly, We chose him in this world and verily, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.
Wer wird das Glaubensbekenntnis Ibrahims wohl verschmähen außer dem, der selbst betört ist? Wir haben ihn (Ibrahim) ja bereits im Diesseits auserwählt, und im Jenseits gehört er wahrlich zu den Rechtschaffenen.
And who forsaketh the religion of Abraham save him who befooleth himself ? Verily We chose him in the world, and lo! in the Hereafter he is among the righteous.
When his Lord said to him, "Submit (i.e. be a Muslim)!" He said, "I have submitted myself (as a Muslim) to the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)."
(Damals,) als sein Herr zu ihm sagte: "Werde Muslim!" Ich habe mich dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner ergeben."
When his Lord said unto him: Surrender! he said: I have surrendered to the Lord of the Worlds.
And this (submission to Allah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibrahim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya'qub (Jacob) (saying), "O my sons! Allah has chosen for you the (true) religion, then die not except in the Faith of Islam (as Muslims - Islamic Monotheism)."
Und Ibrahim befahl es seinen Söhnen an - (er) und Ya'qub: "O meine Kinder, Allah hat euch die Religion auserwählt; so sterbt denn nicht, außer (Ihm) ergeben zu sein!"
The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, and also Jacob, (saying): O my sons! Lo! Allah hath chosen for you the (true) religion; therefore die not save as men who have surrendered (unto Him).
Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya'qub (Jacob)? When he said unto his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We shall worship your Ilah (God - Allah), the Ilah (God) of your fathers, Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac), One Ilah (God), and to Him we submit (in Islam)."
Oder wart ihr etwa Zeugen, als Ya'qub der Tod nahte? Als er zu seinen Söhnen sagte: "Wem werdet ihr nach mir dienen?" Sie sagten: "Wir werden deinem Gott und dem Gott deiner Vorväter Ibrahim, lsma'il und Ishaq dienen, als dem Einen Gott, und Ihm sind wir ergeben.
Or were ye present when death came to Jacob, when he said unto his sons: What will ye worship after me ? They said: We shall worship thy God, the God of thy fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac, One God, and unto Him we have surrendered.
That was a nation who has passed away. They shall receive the reward of what they earned and you of what you earn. And you will not be asked of what they used to do.
Das ist eine Gemeinschaft, die schon vergangen ist; ihr kommt zu, was sie verdient hat, und euch, was ihr verdient habt. Und ihr werdet nicht danach befragt werden, was jene zu tun pflegten.
Those are a people who have passed away. Theirs is that which they earned, and yours is that which ye earn. And ye will not be asked of what they used to do.
And they say, "Be Jews or Christians, then you will be guided." Say (to them O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), "Nay, (we follow) only the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham), Hanifa [Islamic Monotheism, i.e. to worship none but Allah (Alone)], and he was not of Al-Mushrikun (those who worshipped others along with Allah - see V.2:105)."
Sie sagen: "Werdet Juden oder Christen, so seid ihr rechtgeleitet." Sag: Nein! Vielmehr das Glaubensbekenntnis Ibrahims, Anhängers des rechten Glaubens, und er gehörte nicht zu den Götzendienern.
And they say: Be Jews or Christians, then ye will be rightly guided. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Nay, but (we follow) the religion of Abraham, the upright, and he was not of the idolaters.
Say (O Muslims), "We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat [the offspring of the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Musa (Moses) and 'Îsa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)."
Sagt: Wir glauben an Allah und an das, was zu uns (als Offenbarung) herabgesandt worden ist, und an das, was zu Ibrahim, Isma'il, lshaq, Ya`qub und den Stämmen herabgesandt wurde, und (an das,) was Musa und 'Isa gegeben wurde, und (an das,) was den Propheten von ihrem Herrn gegeben wurde. Wir machen keinen Unterschied bei jemandem von ihnen, und wir sind Ihm ergeben.
Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.
So if they believe in the like of that which you believe, then they are rightly guided; but if they turn away, then they are only in opposition. So Allah will suffice you against them. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
Wenn sie an das gleiche glauben, woran ihr glaubt, dann sind sie somit rechtgeleitet. Wenn sie sich jedoch abkehren, dann befinden sie sich in Widerstreit. Aber gegen sie wird Allah dir genügen. Er ist der Allhörende und Allwissende.
And if they believe in the like of that which ye believe, then are they rightly guided. But if they turn away, then are they in schism, and Allah will suffice thee (for defence) against them. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
[Our Sibghah (religion) is] the Sibghah (Religion) of Allah (Islam) and which Sibghah (religion) can be better than Allah's? And we are His worshippers. [Tafsir Ibn Kathir ]
Allahs Farbgebung - und wessen Farbgebung ist besser als diejenige Allahs! Und Ihm dienen wir.
(We take our) colour from Allah, and who is better than Allah at colouring. We are His worshippers.
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to the Jews and Christians), "Dispute you with us about Allah while He is our Lord and your Lord? And we are to be rewarded for our deeds and you for your deeds. And we are sincere to Him [in worship and obedience (i.e. we worship Him Alone and none else, and we obey His Orders)]."
Sag: Wollt ihr mit uns über Allah streiten, wo Er doch unser und euer Herr ist? Für uns sind unsere Werke und für euch eure Werke. Und wir sind Ihm aufrichtig zugetan.
Say (unto the People of the Scripture): Dispute ye with us concerning Allah when He is our Lord and your Lord ? Ours are our works and yours your works. We look to Him alone.
Or say you that Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob) and Al-Asbat [the offspring of the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)] were Jews or Christians? Say, "Do you know better or does Allah (knows better ... that they all were Muslims)? And who is more unjust than he who conceals the testimony [i.e. to believe in Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم when he comes, as is written in their Books. (See Verse 7:157)] he has from Allah? And Allah is not unaware of what you do."
Oder wollt ihr etwa sagen, Ibrahim, Isma'il, lshaq, Ya'qub und die Stämme seien Juden oder Christen gewesen? - Sag: Wißt ihr es besser oder Allah? - Wer ist ungerechter, als wer ein Zeugnis von Allah bei sich verheimlicht? Und Allah ist nicht unachtsam dessen, was ihr tut.
Or say ye that Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes were Jews or Christians ? Say: Do ye know best, or doth Allah ? And who is more unjust than he who hideth a testimony which he hath received from Allah ? Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
That was a nation who has passed away. They shall receive the reward of what they earned, and you of what you earn. And you will not be asked of what they used to do.
Das ist eine Gemeinschaft, die schon vergangen ist; ihr kommt zu, was sie verdient hat und euch, was ihr verdient habt. Und ihr werdet nicht danach befragt werden, was jene zu tun pflegten.
Those are a people who have passed away; theirs is that which they earned and yours that which ye earn. And ye will not be asked of what they used to do.
The fools among the people (pagans, hypocrites, and Jews) will say, "What has turned them (Muslims) from their Qiblah [prayer direction (towards Jerusalem)] to which they used to face in prayer." Say, (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) "To Allah belong both, east and the west. He guides whom He wills to the Straight Way."
Die Toren unter den Menschen werden sagen: "Was hat sie von der Gebetsrichtung, die sie (bisher) einhielten, abgebracht?" Sag: Allah gehört der Osten und der Westen. Er leitet, wen Er will, auf einen geraden Weg.
The foolish of the people will say: What hath turned them from the qiblah which they formerly observed ? Say: Unto Allah belong the East and the West. He guideth whom He will unto a straight path.
Thus We have made you [true Muslims - real believers of Islamic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his Sunnah (legal ways)], a just (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) be a witness over you. And We made the Qiblah (prayer direction towards Jerusalem) which you used to face, only to test those who followed the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from those who would turn on their heels (i.e. disobey the Messenger). Indeed it was great (heavy) except for those whom Allah guided. And Allah would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. your prayers offered towards Jerusalem). Truly, Allah is full of Kindness, the Most Merciful towards mankind.
Und so haben Wir euch zu einer Gemeinschaft der Mitte gemacht, damit ihr Zeugen über die (anderen) Menschen seiet und damit der Gesandte über euch Zeuge sei. Wir hatten die Gebetsrichtung, die du einhieltest, nur bestimmt, um zu wissen, wer dem Gesandten folgt und wer sich auf den Fersen umkehrt. Und es ist wahrlich schwer außer für diejenigen, die Allah rechtgeleitet hat. Aber Allah läßt nicht zu, daß euer Glaube verloren geht. Allah ist zu den Menschen wahrlich Gnädig, Barmherzig.
Thus We have appointed you a middle nation, that ye may be witnesses against mankind, and that the messenger may be a witness against you. And We appointed the qiblah which ye formerly observed only that We might know him who followeth the messenger, from him who turneth on his heels. In truth it was a hard (test) save for those whom Allah guided. But it was not Allah's purpose that your faith should be in vain, for Allah is Full of Pity, Merciful toward mankind.
Verily! We have seen the turning of your (Muhammad's صلى الله عليه وسلم) face towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please you, so turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah). And wheresoever you people are, turn your faces (in prayer) in that direction. Certainly, the people who were given the Scripture (i.e. Jews and the Christians) know well that, that (your turning towards the direction of the Ka'bah at Makkah in prayers) is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.
Wir sehen ja dein Gesicht sich (suchend) zum Himmel wenden. Nun wollen Wir dir ganz gewiß eine Gebetsrichtung zuweisen, mit der du zufrieden bist. So wende dein Gesicht in Richtung der geschützten Gebetsstätte! Und wo immer ihr seid, wendet eure Gesichter in ihrer Richtung! Diejenigen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, wissen sehr wohl, daß dies die Wahrheit von ihrem Herrn ist. Und Allah ist nicht unachtsam dessen, was sie tun.
We have seen the turning of thy face to heaven (for guidance, O Muhammad). And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship, and ye (O Muslims), wheresoever ye may be, turn your faces (when ye pray) toward it. Lo! Those who have received the Scripture know that (this revelation) is the Truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.
And even if you were to bring to the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) all the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they would not follow your Qiblah (prayer direction), nor are you going to follow their Qiblah (prayer direction). And they will not follow each other's Qiblah (prayer direction). Verily, if you follow their desires after that which you have received of knowledge (from Allah), then indeed you will be one of the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers).
Selbst wenn du zu denjenigen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, mit jeglichen Zeichen kämest, würden sie doch nicht deiner Gebetsrichtung folgen; noch folgst du ihrer Gebetsrichtung. Und auch untereinander folgen sie nicht der Gebetsrichtung der anderen. Würdest du aber ihren Neigungen folgen, nach all dem, was dir an Wissen zugekommen ist, dann gehörtest du wahrlich zu den Ungerechten.
And even if thou broughtest unto those who have received the Scripture all kinds of portents, they would not follow thy qiblah, nor canst thou be a follower of their qiblah; nor are some of them followers of the qiblah of others. And if thou shouldst follow their desires after the knowledge which hath come unto thee, then surely wert thou of the evil - doers.
Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم or the Ka'bah at Makkah) as they recognise their sons. But verily, a party of them conceal the truth while they know it - [i.e. the qualities of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم which are written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)].
Diejenigen, denen Wir die Schrift gegeben haben, kennen es, wie sie ihre Söhne kennen. Aber ein Teil von ihnen verheimlicht wahrlich die Wahrheit, obwohl sie (sie) wissen.
Those unto whom We gave the Scripture recognise (this revelation) as they recognise their sons. But lo! a party of them knowingly conceal the truth.
(This is) the truth from your Lord. So be you not one of those who doubt.
(Es ist) die Wahrheit von deinem Herrn, gehöre daher nicht zu den Zweiflern!
It is the Truth from thy Lord (O Muhammad), so be not thou of those who waver.
For every nation there is a direction to which they face (in their prayers). So hasten towards all that is good. Wheresoever you may be, Allah will bring you together (on the Day of Resurrection). Truly, Allah is Able to do all things.
Jeder hat eine Zielrichtung, zu der er sich hinwendet. So wetteifert nach den guten Dingen! Wo immer ihr auch sein werdet, Allah wird euch alle herbeibringen. Allah hat zu allem die Macht.
And each one hath a goal toward which he turneth; so vie with one another in good works. Wheresoever ye may be, Allah will bring you all together. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
And from wheresoever you start forth (for prayers), turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid-Al-Haram (at Makkah), that is indeed the truth from your Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
Und woher du immer heraustrittst, da wende dein Gesicht in Richtung der geschützten Gebetsstätte. Es ist wirklich die Wahrheit von deinem Herrn. Und Allah ist nicht unachtsam dessen, was ihr tut.
And whencesoever thou comest forth (for prayer, O Muhammad) turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship. Lo! it is the Truth from thy Lord. Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
And from wheresoever you start forth (for prayers), turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid-Al-Haram (at Makkah), and wheresoever you are, turn your faces towards it (when you pray) so that men may have no argument against you except those of them that are wrong-doers, so fear them not, but fear Me! - And so that I may complete My Blessings on you and that you may be guided.
Und woher du immer heraustrittst, da wende dein Gesicht in Richtung der geschützten Gebetsstätte. Und wo immer ihr seid, da wendet eure Gesichter in ihrer Richtung, damit die Menschen kein Beweismittel gegen euch haben, außer denjenigen von ihnen, die Unrecht tun. - So fürchtet nicht sie, sondern fürchtet Mich! - Und damit Ich Meine Gunst an euch vollende, auf daß ihr rechtgeleitet werden möget.
Whencesoever thou comest forth turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship; and wheresoever ye may be (O Muslims) turn your faces toward it (when ye pray) so that men may have no argument against you, save such of them as do injustice - Fear them not, but fear Me! - and so that I may complete My grace upon you, and that ye may be guided.
Similarly (to complete My Blessings on you), We have sent among you a Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of your own, reciting to you Our Verses (the Qur'an) and purifying you, and teaching you the Book (the Qur'an) and the Hikmah (i.e. Sunnah, Islamic laws and Fiqh - jurisprudence), and teaching you that which you used not to know.
So, wie Wir zu euch einen Gesandten von euch geschickt haben, der euch Unsere Worte verliest und euch läutert und euch die Schrift und die Wahrheit lehrt und euch lehrt, was ihr nicht wußtet.
Even as We have sent unto you a messenger from among you, who reciteth unto you Our revelations and causeth you to grow, and teacheth you the Scripture and wisdom, and teacheth you that which ye knew not.
Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying), I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favours on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.
Gedenkt Meiner, so gedenke Ich eurer. Seid Mir dankbar und seid nicht undankbar gegen Mich.
Therefore remember Me, I will remember you. Give thanks to Me, and reject not Me.
O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-Salat (the prayer). Truly! Allah is with As-Sabirun (the patient).
O die ihr glaubt, sucht Hilfe in der Standhaftigkeit und im Gebet! Allah ist mit den Standhaften.
O ye who believe! Seek help in steadfastness and prayer. Lo! Allah is with the steadfast.
And say not of those who are killed in the Way of Allah, "They are dead." Nay, they are living, but you perceive (it) not.
Und sagt nicht von denen, die auf Allahs Weg getötet werden, sie seien tot! Nein! Vielmehr sind sie lebendig; aber ihr nehmt es nicht wahr.
And call not those who are slain in the way of Allah "dead." Nay, they are living, only ye perceive not.
And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirun (the patient).
Und Wir werden euch ganz gewiß mit ein wenig Furcht und Hunger und Mangel an Besitz, Seelen und Früchten prüfen. Doch verkünde frohe Botschaft den Standhaften,
And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops; but give glad tidings to the steadfast,
Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return."
die, wenn sie ein Unglück trifft, sagen: "Wir gehören Allah, und zu Ihm kehren wir zurück."
Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning.
They are those on whom are the Salawat (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones.
Sie sind es, denen Segnungen von ihrem Herrn und Erbarmen zuteil werden, und sie sind die Rechtgeleiteten.
Such are they on whom are blessings from their Lord, and mercy. Such are the rightly guided.
Verily! As-Safa and Al-Marwah (two mountains in Makkah) are of the Symbols of Allah. So it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj or 'Umrah (pilgrimage) of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) to perform the going (Tawaf) between them (As-Safa and Al-Marwah). And whoever does good voluntarily, then verily, Allah is All-Recogniser, All-Knower.
Gewiß, as-Safa und al-Marwa gehören zu den (Orten der) Kulthandlungen Allahs. Wenn einer die Pilgerfahrt zum Hause oder die Besuchsfahrt vollzieht, so ist es keine Sünde für ihn, wenn er zwischen ihnen (beiden) den Umgang macht. Und wer (von sich aus) freiwillig Gutes tut, so ist Allah Dankbar und Allwissend.
Lo! (the mountains) As - Safa and Al - Marwah are among the indications of Allah. It is therefore no sin for him who is on pilgrimage to the House (of God) or visiteth it, to go around them (as the pagan custom is). And he who doeth good of his own accord, (for him) lo! Allah is Responsive, Aware.
Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidence and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allah and cursed by the cursers.
Diejenigen, die verheimlichen, was Wir an klaren Beweisen und Rechtleitung hinabgesandt haben, nachdem Wir es den Menschen in der Schrift klar gemacht haben, sie werden von Allah verflucht und auch von den Fluchenden,
Lo! Those who hide the proofs and the guidance which We revealed, after We had made it clear to mankind in the Scripture: such are accursed of Allah and accursed of those who have the power to curse.
Except those who repent and do righteous deeds, and openly declare (the truth which they concealed). These, I will accept their repentance. And I am the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.
außer denjenigen, die bereuen und verbessern und klar machen. Ihre Reue nehme Ich an, Ich bin ja der Reue-Annehmende und Barmherzige.
Except those who repent and amend and make manifest (the truth). These it is toward whom I relent. I am the Relenting, the Merciful.
Verily, those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of Allah and of the angels and of mankind, combined.
Diejenigen aber, die ungläubig sind und als Ungläubige sterben, auf ihnen liegt der Fluch Allahs und der Engel und der Menschen allesamt,
Lo! Those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers; on them is the curse of Allah and of angels and of men combined.
They will abide therein (under the curse in Hell), their punishment will neither be lightened, nor will they be reprieved.
ewig darin zu bleiben. Die Strafe soll ihnen nicht erleichtert noch soll ihnen Aufschub gewährt werden.
They ever dwell therein. The doom will not be lightened for them, neither will they be reprieved.
And your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God - Allah), La ilaha illa Huwa (there is none who has the right to be worshipped but He), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Euer Gott ist ein Einziger Gott. Es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm, dem Allerbarmer, dem Barmherzigen.
Your God is One God; there is no God save Him, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which sail through the sea with that which is of use to mankind, and the water (rain) which Allah sends down from the sky and makes the earth alive therewith after its death, and the moving (living) creatures of all kinds that He has scattered therein, and in the veering of winds and clouds which are held between the sky and the earth, are indeed Ayat (proofs, evidence, signs, etc.) for people of understanding.
In der Schöpfung der Himmel und der Erde; im Unterschied von Nacht und Tag; in den Schiffen, die das Meer befahren mit dem, was den Menschen nützt; darin, daß Allah Wasser vom Himmel herabkommen läßt, und damit dann die Erde nach ihrem Tod wieder lebendig macht und auf ihr allerlei Tiere sich ausbreiten läßt; und im Wechsel der Winde und der Wolken, die zwischen Himmel und Erde dienstbar gemacht sind, sind wahrlich Zeichen für Leute, die begreifen.
Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's Sovereignty) for people who have sense.
And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allah as rivals (to Allah). They love them as they love Allah. But those who believe, love Allah more (than anything else). If only, those who do wrong could see, when they will see the torment, that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is Severe in punishment.
Und doch gibt es unter den Menschen manche, die außer Allah andere als Seinesgleichen annehmen und ihnen dieselbe Liebe schenken wie Allah. Aber die Gläubigen sind stärker in ihrer Liebe zu Allah. Und wenn doch diejenigen, die Unrecht tun, wenn sie der Strafe angesichtig werden, erkennen würden, daß alle Stärke Allah gehört und daß Allah streng im Strafen ist.
Yet of mankind are some who take unto themselves (objects of worship which they set as) rivals to Allah, loving them with a love like (that which is the due) of Allah (only) - those who believe are stauncher in their love for Allah - Oh, that those who do evil had but known, (on the day) when they behold the doom, that power belongeth wholly to Allah, and that Allah is severe in punishment!
When those who were followed, disown (declare themselves innocent of) those who followed (them), and they see the torment, then all their relations will be cut off from them.
Wenn diejenigen, denen Gefolgschaft geleistet worden ist, sich von denen lossagen, die Gefolgschaft geleistet haben, und sie die Strafe sehen und die Verbindungsstricke zu ihnen abgeschnitten sind!
(On the day) when those who were followed disown those who followed (them), and they behold the doom, and all their aims collapse with them.
And those who followed will say: "If only we had one more chance to return (to the worldly life), we would disown (declare ourselves as innocent from) them as they have disowned (declared themselves as innocent from) us." Thus Allah will show them their deeds as regrets for them. And they will never get out of the Fire.
Und diejenigen, die Gefolgschaft geleistet haben, sagen: "Hätten wir doch eine (Möglichkeit zur) Wiederholung, dann würden wir uns von ihnen lossagen, so wie sie sich von uns losgesagt haben." So wird Allah ihnen ihre Werke zeigen, als gramvolle Reue für sie. Und sie werden aus dem (Höllen)feuer nicht herauskommen.
And those who were but followers will say: If a return were possible for us, we would disown them even as they have disowned us. Thus will Allah show them their own deeds as anguish for them, and they will not emerge from the Fire.
O mankind! Eat of that which is lawful and good on the earth, and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). Verily, he is to you an open enemy.
O ihr Menschen! Eßt von dem, was es auf der Erde gibt, als etwas Erlaubtem und Gutem, und folgt nicht den Fußstapfen des Satans! Er ist euch ein deutlicher Feind.
O mankind! Eat of that which is lawful and wholesome in the earth, and follow not the footsteps of the devil. Lo! he is an open enemy for you.
He [Shaitan (Satan)] commands you only what is evil and Fahsha (sinful), and that you should say against Allah what you know not.
Er befiehlt euch nur Böses und Schändliches, und daß ihr gegen Allah aussagen sollt, was ihr nicht wißt.
He enjoineth upon you only the evil and the foul, and that ye should tell concerning Allah that which ye know not.
When it is said to them: "Follow what Allah has sent down." They say: "Nay! We shall follow what we found our fathers following." (Would they do that!) even though their fathers did not understand anything nor were they guided?
Und wenn man zu ihnen sagt: "Folgt dem, was Allah herabgesandt hat", sagen sie: "Nein! Vielmehr folgen wir dem, worin wir unsere Väter vorgefunden haben." Was denn, auch wenn ihre Väter nichts begriffen und nicht rechtgeleitet waren?
And when it is said unto them: Follow that which Allah hath revealed, they say: We follow that wherein we found our fathers. What! Even though their fathers were wholly unintelligent and had no guidance ?
And the example of those who disbelieve is as that of him who shouts to those (flock of sheep) that hears nothing but calls and cries. (They are) deaf, dumb and blind. So they do not understand. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi )
Das Gleichnis derjenigen, die ungläubig sind, ist wie jemand, der etwas nachschreit, was nichts hört außer Stimmen und Zurufen. Taub, stumm, blind; so begreifen sie nicht.
The likeness of those who disbelieve (in relation to the messenger) is as the likeness of one who calleth unto that which heareth naught except a shout and cry. Deaf, dumb, blind, therefore they have no sense.
O you who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you with, and be grateful to Allah, if it is indeed He Whom you worship.
O die ihr glaubt, eßt von den guten Dingen, mit denen Wir euch versorgt haben, und seid Allah dankbar, wenn ihr Ihm (allein) dient!
O ye who believe! Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you, and render thanks to Allah if it is (indeed) He Whom ye worship.
He has forbidden you only the Maitah (dead animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah (or has been slaughtered for idols, on which Allah's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). But if one is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience nor transgressing due limits, then there is no sin on him. Truly, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Verboten hat Er euch nur (den Genuß von) Verendetem, Blut, Schweinefleisch und dem, worüber ein anderer (Name) als Allah(s) angerufen worden ist. Wer sich aber in einer Zwangslage befindet, ohne zu begehren oder das Maß zu überschreiten, für den ist es keine Sünde. Allah ist Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
He hath forbidden you only carrion, and blood, and swineflesh, and that which hath been immolated to (the name of) any other than Allah. But he who is driven by necessity, neither craving nor transgressing, it is no sin for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Verily, those who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book, and purchase a small gain therewith (of worldly things), they eat into their bellies nothing but fire. Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor purify them, and theirs will be a painful torment.
Diejenigen, die verheimlichen, was Allah von der Schrift herabgesandt hat, und es für einen geringen Preis verkaufen, sie verzehren in ihren Bäuchen nichts als Feuer. Und Allah wird zu ihnen am Tag der Auferstehung weder sprechen noch sie läutern. Für sie wird es schmerzhafte Strafe geben.
Lo! those who hide aught of the Scripture which Allah hath revealed and purchase a small gain therewith, they eat into their bellies nothing else than fire. Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He make them grow. Theirs will be a painful doom.
Those are they who have purchased error at the price of Guidance, and torment at the price of Forgiveness. So how bold they are (for evil deeds which will push them) to the Fire.
Das sind diejenigen, die das Irregehen für die Rechtleitung erkauft haben und die Strafe für die Vergebung. Wie beharrlich sind sie gegenüber dem (Höllen)feuer!
Those are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, and torment at the price of pardon. How constant are they in their strife to reach the Fire!
That is because Allah has sent down the Book (the Qur'an) in truth. And verily, those who disputed as regards the Book are far away in opposition.
Dies, weil Allah die Schrift mit der Wahrheit offenbart hat. Und diejenigen, die über die Schrift uneinig sind, befinden sich wahrlich in tiefem Widerstreit.
That is because Allah hath revealed the Scripture with the truth. Lo! those who find (a cause of) disagreement in the Scripture are in open schism.
It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and each and every act of obedience to Allah, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al-Masakin (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat ), and gives the Zakat, and who fulfil their covenant when they make it, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of fighting (during the battles). Such are the people of the truth and they are Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
Nicht darin besteht die Güte, daß ihr eure Gesichter gegen Osten oder Westen wendet. Güte ist vielmehr, daß man an Allah, den Jüngsten Tag, die Engel, die Bücher und die Propheten glaubt und vom Besitz - obwohl man ihn liebt - der Verwandtschaft, den Waisen, den Armen, dem Sohn des Weges, den Bettlern und für (den Loskauf von) Sklaven hergibt, das Gebet verrichtet und die Abgabe entrichtet; und diejenigen, die ihre Verpflichtung einhalten, wenn sie eine eingegangen sind, und diejenigen, die standhaft bleiben in Not, Leid und in Kriegszeiten, das sind diejenigen, die wahrhaftig sind, und das sind die Gottesfürchtigen.
It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor - due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the God - fearing.
O you who believe! Al-Qisas (the Law of Equality in punishment) is prescribed for you in case of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the killer is forgiven by the brother (or the relatives, etc.) of the killed against blood-money, then adhering to it with fairness and payment of the blood-money to the heir should be made in fairness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. So after this whoever transgresses the limits (i.e. kills the killer after taking the blood-money), he shall have a painful torment.
O die ihr glaubt, vorgeschrieben ist euch Wiedervergeltung für die Getöteten: der Freie für den Freien, der Sklave für den Sklaven und das Weib für das Weib. Doch wenn einem von seinem Bruder etwas erlassen wird, so soll die Verfolgung (der Ansprüche) in rechtlicher Weise und die Zahlungsleistung an ihn auf ordentliche Weise geschehen. Das ist eine Erleichterung von eurem Herrn und Erbarmung. Wer aber nach diesem eine Übertretung begeht, für den gibt es schmerzhafte Strafe.
O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the murdered; the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. And for him who is forgiven somewhat by his (injured) brother, prosecution according to usage and payment unto him in kindness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. He who transgresseth after this will have a painful doom.
And there is (a saving of) life for you in Al-Qisas (the Law of Equality in punishment), O men of understanding, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2: 2).
In der Wiedervergeltung liegt Leben für euch, o die ihr Verstand besitzt, auf daß ihr gottesfürchtig werden möget!
And there is life for you in retaliation, O men of understanding, that ye may ward off (evil).
It is prescribed for you, when death approaches any of you, if he leaves wealth, that he makes a bequest to parents and next of kin, according to reasonable manners. (This is) a duty upon Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2: 2).
Vorgeschrieben ist euch, wenn sich einem von euch der Tod naht, sofern er Gut hinterläßt, ein Vermächtnis zugunsten der Eltern und nächsten Verwandten in rechtlicher Weise zu treffen, als eine Pflicht für die Gottesfürchtigen.
It is prescribed for you, when death approacheth one of you, if he leave wealth, that he bequeath unto parents and near relatives in kindness. (This is) a duty for all those who ward off (evil).
Then whoever changes the bequest after hearing it, the sin shall be on those who make the change. Truly, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
Wer es aber abändert - nachdem er es gehört hat-, so liegt dessen Sünde nur bei demjenigen, der es abändert. Allah ist Allhörend und Allwissend.
And whoso changeth (the will) after he hath heard it - the sin thereof is only upon those who change it. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.
But he who fears from a testator some unjust act or wrong-doing, and thereupon he makes peace between the parties concerned, there shall be no sin on him. Certainly, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Wer aber von Seiten eines Erblassers Abweichung oder Sünde befürchtet und zwischen ihnen schlichtet, den trifft keine Sünde. Allah ist Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
But he who feareth from a testator some unjust or sinful clause, and maketh peace between the parties, (it shall be) no sin for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2: 2).
O die ihr glaubt, vorgeschrieben ist euch das Fasten, so wie es denjenigen vor euch vorgeschrieben war, auf daß ihr gottesfürchtig werden möget.
O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil);
[Observing Saum (fasts)] for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskin (poor person) (for every day). But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast is better for you if only you know.
(Vorgeschrieben ist es euch) an bestimmten Tagen. Wer von euch jedoch krank ist oder sich auf einer Reise befindet, der soll eine (gleiche) Anzahl von anderen Tagen (fasten). Und denjenigen, die es zu leisten vermögen, ist als Ersatz die Speisung eines Armen auferlegt. Wer aber freiwillig Gutes tut, für den ist es besser. Und daß ihr fastet, ist besser für euch, wenn ihr (es) nur wißt!
(Fast) a certain number of days; and (for) him who is sick among you, or on a journey, (the same) number of other days; and for those who can afford it there is a ransom: the feeding of a man in need - but whoso doeth good of his own accord, it is better for him: and that ye fast is better for you if ye did but know -
The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say Takbir (Allahu Akbar; Allah is the Most Great] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.
Der Monat Ramadan (ist es), in dem der Qur'an als Rechtleitung für die Menschen herabgesandt worden ist und als klare Beweise der Rechtleitung und der Unterscheidung. Wer also von euch während dieses Monats anwesend ist, der soll ihn fasten, wer jedoch krank ist oder sich auf einer Reise befindet, eine (gleiche) Anzahl von anderen Tagen (fasten). Allah will für euch Erleichterung; Er will für euch nicht Erschwernis, - damit ihr die Anzahl vollendet und Allah als den Größten preist, dafür, daß Er euch rechtgeleitet hat, auf daß ihr dankbar sein möget.
The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful.
And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright.
Und wenn dich Meine Diener nach Mir fragen, so bin Ich nahe; Ich erhöre den Ruf des Bittenden, wenn er Mich anruft. So sollen sie nun auf Mich hören und an Mich glauben, auf daß sie besonnen handeln mögen.
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright.
It is made lawful for you to have sexual relations with your wives on the night of As-Saum (the fasts). They are Libas [i.e. body cover, or screen, or Sakan, (i.e. you enjoy the pleasure of living with them - as in Verse 7:189) Tafsir At-Tabari ], for you and you are the same for them. Allah knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He turned to you (accepted your repentance) and forgave you. So now have sexual relations with them and seek that which Allah has ordained for you (offspring), and eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night), then complete your Saum (fast) till the nightfall. And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives) while you are in I'tikaf (i.e. confining oneself in a mosque for prayers and invocations leaving the worldly activities) in the mosques. These are the limits (set) by Allah, so approach them not. Thus does Allah make clear His Ayat (proofs, evidence, lessons, signs, revelations, verses, laws, legal and illegal things, Allah's set limits, orders) to mankind that they may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
Erlaubt ist euch, in der Nacht des Fastens mit euren Frauen Beischlaf auszuüben; sie sind euch ein Kleid, und ihr seid ihnen ein Kleid. Allah weiß, daß ihr euch selbst (immer wieder) betrogt, und da hat Er eure Reue angenommen und euch verziehen. Von jetzt an verkehrt mit ihnen und trachtet nach dem, was Allah für euch bestimmt hat, und eßt und trinkt, bis sich für euch der weiße vom schwarzen Faden der Morgendämmerung klar unterscheidet! Hierauf vollzieht das Fasten bis zur Nacht! Und verkehrt nicht mit ihnen, während ihr euch (zur Andacht) in die Gebetsstätten zurückgezogen habt! Dies sind Allahs Grenzen, so kommt ihnen nicht zu nahe! So macht Allah den Menschen Seine Zeichen klar, auf daß sie gottesfürchtig werden mögen.
It is made lawful for you to go in unto your wives on the night of the fast. They are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them. Allah is Aware that ye were deceiving yourselves in this respect and He hath turned in mercy toward you and relieved you. So hold intercourse with them and seek that which Allah hath ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn. Then strictly observe the fast till nightfall and touch them not, but be at your devotions in the mosques. These are the limits imposed by Allah, so approach them not. Thus Allah expoundeth His revelation to mankind that they may ward off (evil).
And eat up not one another's property unjustly (in any illegal way e.g. stealing, robbing, deceiving, etc.), nor give bribery to the rulers (judges before presenting your cases) that you may knowingly eat up a part of the property of others sinfully.
Und zehrt nicht euren Besitz untereinander auf nichtige Weise auf und bestecht nicht damit die Richter, um einen Teil des Besitzes der Menschen in sündhafter Weise zu verzehren, wo ihr (es) doch wißt.
And eat not up your property among yourselves in vanity, nor seek by it to gain the hearing of the judges that ye may knowingly devour a portion of the property of others wrongfully.
They ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) about the new moons. Say: These are signs to mark fixed periods of time for mankind and for the pilgrimage. It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness) that you enter the houses from the back but Al-Birr (is the quality of the one) who fears Allah. So enter houses through their proper doors, and fear Allah that you may be .
Sie fragen dich nach den Jungmonden. Sag: Sie sind festgesetzte Zeiten für die Menschen und für die Pilgerfahrt. Und nicht darin besteht die Frömmigkeit, daß ihr von der Rückseite in die Häuser kommt. Frömmigkeit besteht vielmehr darin, daß man gottesfürchtig ist. So kommt durch die Türen in die Häuser und fürchtet Allah, auf daß es euch wohl ergehen möge!
They ask thee, (O Muhammad), of new moons, say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage. It is not righteousness that ye go to houses by the backs thereof (as do the idolaters at certain seasons), but the righteous man is he who wardeth off (evil). So go to houses by the gates thereof, and observe your duty to Allah, that ye may be .
And fight in the Way of Allah those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allah likes not the transgressors. [This Verse is the first one that was revealed in connection with Jihad, but it was supplemented by another (9:36)].
Und kämpft auf Allahs Weg gegen diejenigen, die gegen euch kämpfen, doch übertretet nicht! Allah liebt nicht die Übertreter.
Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.
And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-Al-Haram (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
Und tötet sie, wo immer ihr auf sie trefft, und vertreibt sie, von wo sie euch vertrieben haben, denn Verfolgung ist schlimmer als Töten! Kämpft jedoch nicht gegen sie bei der geschützten Gebetsstätte, bis sie dort (zuerst) gegen euch kämpfen. Wenn sie aber (dort) gegen euch kämpfen, dann tötet sie. Solcherart ist der Lohn der Ungläubigen.
And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.
But if they cease, then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Wenn sie jedoch aufhören, so ist Allah Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
But if they desist, then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah) and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allah (Alone). But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers)
Und kämpft gegen sie, bis es keine Verfolgung mehr gibt und die Religion (allein) Allahs ist. Wenn sie jedoch aufhören, dann darf es kein feindseliges Vorgehen geben außer gegen die Ungerechten.
And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong - doers.
The sacred month is for the sacred month, and for the prohibited things, there is the Law of Equality (Qisas). Then whoever transgresses the prohibition against you, you transgress likewise against him. And fear Allah, and know that Allah is with Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
Der Schutzmonat ist für den Schutzmonat, und (für) die unantastbaren Dinge ist Wiedervergeltung. Wenn jemand gegen euch übertritt, dann geht (auch ihr) in gleichem Maß gegen ihn vor, wie er gegen euch übertreten hat. Und fürchtet Allah und wißt, daß Allah mit den Gottesfürchtigen ist.
The forbidden month for the forbidden month, and forbidden things in retaliation. And one who attacketh you, attack him in like manner as he attacked you. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is with those who ward off (evil).
And spend in the Cause of Allah (i.e. Jihad of all kinds) and do not throw yourselves into destruction (by not spending your wealth in the Cause of Allah), and do good. Truly, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).
Und gebt auf Allahs Weg aus und stürzt euch nicht mit eigener Hand ins Verderben. Und tut Gutes. Allah liebt die Gutes Tuenden.
Spend your wealth for the cause of Allah, and be not cast by your own hands to ruin; and do good. Lo! Allah loveth the beneficent.
And perform properly (i.e. all the ceremonies according to the ways of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), the Hajj and 'Umrah (i.e. the pilgrimage to Makkah) for Allah. But if you are prevented (from completing them), sacrifice a Hady (animal, i.e. a sheep, a cow, or a camel) such as you can afford, and do not shave your heads until the Hady reaches the place of sacrifice. And whosoever of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp (necessitating shaving), he must pay a Fidyah (ransom) of either observing Saum (fasts) (three days) or giving Sadaqah (charity - feeding six poor persons) or offering sacrifice (one sheep). Then if you are in safety and whosoever performs the 'Umrah in the months of Hajj before (performing) the Hajj, (i.e. Hajj-at-Tamattu' and Al-Qiran), he must slaughter a Hady such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, he should observe Saum (fasts) three days during the Hajj and seven days after his return (to his home), making ten days in all. This is for him whose family is not present at Al-Masjid-Al-Haram (i.e. non-resident of Makkah). And fear Allah much and know that Allah is Severe in punishment.
Vollzieht die Pilgerfahrt und die Besuchsfahrt für Allah. Wenn ihr jedoch (daran) gehindert werdet, dann (bringt) an Opfertieren (dar), was euch leichtfällt. Und schert euch nicht die Köpfe, bevor die Opfertiere ihren Schlachtort erreicht haben! Wer von euch krank ist oder ein Leiden an seinem Kopf hat, der soll Ersatz leisten mit Fasten, Almosen oder Opferung eines Schlachttieres. - Wenn ihr aber in Sicherheit seid, dann soll derjenige, der die Besuchsfahrt mit der Pilgerfahrt durchführen möchte, an Opfertieren (darbringen), was ihm leichtfällt. Wer jedoch nicht(s) finden kann, der soll drei Tage während der Pilgerfahrt fasten und sieben, wenn ihr zurückgekehrt seid; das sind im ganzen zehn. Dies (gilt nur) für den, dessen Angehörige nicht in der geschützten Gebetsstätte wohnhaft sind. Und fürchtet Allah und wißt, daß Allah streng im Bestrafen ist!
Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makka) for Allah. And if ye are prevented, then send such gifts as can be obtained with ease, and shave not your heads until the gifts have reached their destination. And whoever among you is sick or hath an ailment of the head must pay a ransom of fasting or almsgiving or offering. And if ye are in safety, then whosoever contenteth himself with the visit for the pilgrimage (shall give) such gifts as can be had with ease. And whosoever cannot find (such gifts), then a fast of three days while on the pilgrimage, and of seven when ye have returned; that is, ten in all. That is for him whoso folk are not present at the Inviolable Place of Worship. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is severe in punishment.
The Hajj (pilgrimage) is (in) the well-known (lunar year) months (i.e. the 10th month, the 11th month and the first ten days of the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, i.e. two months and ten days). So whosoever intends to perform Hajj therein (by assuming Ihram), then he should not have sexual relations (with his wife), nor commit sin, nor dispute unjustly during the Hajj. And whatever good you do, (be sure) Allah knows it. And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is At-Taqwa (piety, righteousness). So fear Me, O men of understanding!
Die (Zeit der) Pilgerfahrt (sind) bekannte Monate. Wer in ihnen die (Durchführung der) Pilgerfahrt beschlossen hat, der darf keinen Beischlaf ausüben, keinen Frevel begehen und nicht Streit führen während der Pilgerfahrt. Und was ihr an Gutem tut, Allah weiß es. Und versorgt euch mit Reisevorrat, doch der beste Vorrat ist die Gottesfurcht. Und fürchtet Mich, o die ihr Verstand besitzt!
The pilgrimage is (in) the well - known months, and whoever is minded to perform the pilgrimage therein (let him remember that) there is (to be) no lewdness nor abuse nor angry conversation on the pilgrimage. And whatsoever good ye do Allah knoweth it. So make provision for yourselves (Hereafter); for the best provision is to ward off evil. Therefore keep your duty unto Me, O men of understanding.
There is no sin on you if you seek the Bounty of your Lord (during pilgrimage by trading). Then when you leave 'Arafat , remember Allah (by glorifying His Praises, i.e. prayers and invocations) at the Mash'ar-il-Haram . And remember Him (by invoking Allah for all good.) as He has guided you, and verily, you were, before, of those who were astray.
Es ist keine Sünde für euch, daß ihr nach Huld von eurem Herrn trachtet. Doch wenn ihr von 'Arafat hergeströmt seid, dann gedenkt Allahs bei der geschützten Kultstätte. Und gedenkt Seiner, wie Er euch rechtgeleitet hat, obwohl ihr vordem wahrlich zu den Irregehenden gehörtet.
It is no sin for you that ye seek the bounty of your Lord (by trading). But, when ye press on in the multitude from 'Arafat, remember Allah by the sacred monument. Remember Him as He hath guided you, although before ye were of those astray.
Then depart from the place whence all the people depart and ask Allah for His Forgiveness. Truly, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
Hierauf strömt weiter, woher die (anderen) Menschen weiterströmen, und bittet Allah um Vergebung. Allah ist Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
Then hasten onward from the place whence the multitude hasteneth onward, and ask forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
So when you have accomplished your Manasik , remember Allah as you remember your forefathers or with a far more remembrance. But of mankind there are some who say: "Our Lord! Give us (Your Bounties) in this world!" and for such there will be no portion in the Hereafter.
Wenn ihr dann eure Riten vollzogen habt, dann gedenkt Allahs, wie ihr eurer Väter gedenkt, oder mit noch innigerem Gedenken. Unter den Menschen gibt es manch einen, der sagt: "Unser Herr, gib uns im Diesseits!" Doch hat er am Jenseits keinen Anteil.
And when ye have completed your devotions, then remember Allah as ye remember your fathers or with a more lively remembrance. But of mankind is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world," and he hath no portion in the Hereafter.
And of them there are some who say: "Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!"
Unter ihnen gibt es aber auch solche, die sagen: "Unser Herr, gib uns im Diesseits Gutes und im Jenseits Gutes, und bewahre uns vor der Strafe des (Höllen)feuers!
And of them (also) is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and guard us from the doom of Fire."
For them there will be allotted a share for what they have earned. And Allah is Swift at reckoning.
Für jene gibt es einen Anteil an dem, was sie verdient haben. Und Allah ist schnell im Abrechnen.
For them there is in store a goodly portion out of that which they have earned. Allah is swift at reckoning.
And remember Allah during the appointed Days. But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him and whosoever stays on, there is no sin on him, if his aim is to do good and obey Allah (fear Him), and know that you will surely be gathered unto Him.
Und gedenkt Allahs während einer bestimmten Anzahl von Tagen. Wer sich jedoch in zwei Tagen (mit dem Aufbruch) beeilt, den trifft keine Sünde, und wer länger bleibt, den trifft keine Sünde; (das gilt) für den, der gottesfürchtig ist. Fürchtet Allah und wißt, daß ihr zu Ihm versammelt werdet!
Remember Allah through the appointed days. Then whoso hasteneth (his departure) by two days, it is no sin for him, and whoso delayeth, it is no sin for him; that is for him who wardeth off (evil). Be careful of your duty to Allah, and know that unto Him ye will be gathered.
And of mankind there is he whose speech may please you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), in this worldly life, and he calls Allah to witness as to that which is in his heart, yet he is the most quarrelsome of the opponents.
Unter den Menschen gibt es manch einen, dessen Worte über das diesseitige Leben dir gefallen, und der Allah zum Zeugen nimmt für das, was in seinem Herzen ist. Dabei ist er der hartnäckigste Widersacher.
And of mankind there is he whoso conversation on the life of this world pleaseth thee (Muhammad), and he calleth Allah to witness as to that which is in his heart; yet he is the most rigid of opponents.
And when he turns away (from you "O Muhammad "صلى الله عليه وسلم"), his effort in the land is to make mischief therein and to destroy the crops and the cattle, and Allah likes not mischief.
Wenn er sich abkehrt, bemüht er sich eifrig darum, auf der Erde Unheil zu stiften und Saatfelder und Nachkommenschaft zu vernichten. Aber Allah liebt nicht das Unheil.
And when he turneth away (from thee) his effort in the land is to make mischief therein and to destroy the crops and the cattle; and Allah loveth not mischief.
And when it is said to him, "Fear Allah", he is led by arrogance to (more) crime. So enough for him is Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest!
Und wenn man zu ihm sagt: "Fürchte Allah", reißt ihn der Stolz zur Sünde hin. Die Hölle soll seine Genüge sein - wahrlich eine schlimme Lagerstatt!
And when it is said unto him: Be careful of thy duty to Allah, pride taketh him to sin. Hell will settle his account, an evil resting - place.
And of mankind is he who would sell himself, seeking the Pleasure of Allah. And Allah is full of Kindness to (His) slaves.
Unter den Menschen gibt es (auch) manchen, der sich selbst im Trachten nach Allahs Zufriedenheit verkauft. Und Allah ist zu den Menschen Gnädig.
And of mankind is he who would sell himself, seeking the pleasure of Allah; and Allah hath compassion on (His) bondmen.
O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islam (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islamic religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy.
O die ihr glaubt, tretet allesamt in den Islam ein und folgt nicht den Fußstapfen des Satans! Er ist euch ja ein deutlicher Feind.
O ye who believe! Come, all of you, into submission (unto Him); and follow not the footsteps of the devil. Lo! he is an open enemy for you.
Then if you slide back after the clear signs (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and this Qur'an, and Islam) have come to you, then know that Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
Wenn ihr aber strauchelt, nachdem die klaren Beweise zu euch gekommen sind, so wißt, daß Allah Allmächtig und Allweise ist.
And if ye slide back after the clear proofs have come unto you, then know that Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Do they then wait for anything other than that Allah should come to them in the shadows of the clouds and the angels? (Then) the case would be already judged. And to Allah return all matters (for decision).
Erwarten sie (etwas anderes), als daß Allah in Schattendächern aus Wolken zu ihnen kommt und die Engel? Doch dann wird die Angelegenheit entschieden sein. Und zu Allah werden (all) die Angelegenheiten zurückgebracht.
Wait they for naught else than that Allah should come unto them in the shadows of the clouds with the angels ? Then the case would be already judged. All cases go back to Allah (for judgment).
Ask the Children of Israel how many clear Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) We gave them. And whoever changes Allah's Favour after it had come to him, [e.g. renounces the Religion of Allah (Islam) and accepts Kufr (disbelief)] then surely, Allah is Severe in punishment.
Frage die Kinder Isra'ils, wie viele klare Beweise Wir ihnen gegeben haben. Wenn aber einer die Gunst Allahs abändert, nachdem sie ihm zuteil geworden ist -, dann ist Allah streng im Bestrafen.
Ask of the Children of Israel how many a clear revelation We gave them! He who altereth the grace of Allah after it hath come unto him (for him), lo! Allah is severe in punishment.
Beautified is the life of this world for those who disbelieve, and they mock at those who believe. But those who obey Allah's Orders and keep away from what He has forbidden, will be above them on the Day of Resurrection. And Allah gives (of His Bounty, Blessings, Favours, Honours on the Day of Resurrection) to whom He wills without limit.
Ausgeschmückt ist denen, die ungläubig sind, das diesseitige Leben, und sie spotten über diejenigen, die glauben. Aber diejenigen, die gottesfürchtig sind, werden am Tag der Auferstehung über ihnen stehen. Und Allah versorgt, wen Er will, ohne zu berechnen.
Beautified is the life of the world for those who disbelieve; they make a jest of the believers. But those who keep their duty to Allah will be above them on the Day of Resurrection. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.
Mankind were one community and Allah sent Prophets with glad tidings and warnings, and with them He sent down the Scripture in truth to judge between people in matters wherein they differed. And only those to whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it after clear proofs had come unto them through hatred, one to another. Then Allah by His Leave guided those who believed to the truth of that wherein they differed. And Allah guides whom He wills to the Straight Path.
Die Menschen waren eine einzige Gemeinschaft. Dann schickte Allah die Propheten als Verkünder froher Botschaft und als Überbringer von Warnungen und sandte mit ihnen die Bücher mit der Wahrheit herab, um zwischen den Menschen über das zu richten, worüber sie uneinig waren. Doch nur diejenigen waren - aus Mißgunst untereinander - darüber uneinig, denen sie gegeben wurden, nachdem die klaren Beweise zu ihnen gekommen waren. Und so hat Allah mit Seiner Erlaubnis diejenigen, die glauben, zu der Wahrheit geleitet, über die sie uneinig waren. Und Allah leitet, wen Er will, auf einen geraden Weg.
Mankind were one community, and Allah sent (unto them) prophets as bearers of good tidings and as warners, and revealed therewith the Scripture with the truth that it might judge between mankind concerning that wherein they differed. And only those unto whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it, after clear proofs had come unto them, through hatred one of another. And Allah by His Will guided those who believe unto the truth of that concerning which they differed. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path.
Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, "When (will come) the Help of Allah?" Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allah is near!
Oder meint ihr etwa, daß ihr in den (Paradies)garten eingehen werdet, noch bevor Gleiches über euch gekommen ist, wie über diejenigen, die vor euch dahingegangen sind? Not und Leid widerfuhr ihnen, und sie wurden erschüttert, bis daß der Gesandte und diejenigen, die mit ihm glaubten, sagten: "Wann kommt Allahs Sieg?" Aber wahrlich, Allahs Sieg ist nahe.
Or think ye that ye will enter paradise while yet there hath not come unto you the like of (that which came to) those who passed away before you ? Affliction and adversity befell them, they were shaken as with earthquake, till the messenger (of Allah) and those who believed along with him said: When cometh Allah's help ? Now surely Allah's help is nigh.
They ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) what they should spend. Say: Whatever you spend of good must be for parents and kindred and orphans and Al-Masakin (the poor) and the wayfarer, and whatever you do of good deeds, truly, Allah knows it well.
Sie fragen dich, was sie ausgeben sollen. Sag: Was immer ihr an Gutem ausgebt, soll den Eltern, den nächsten Verwandten, den Waisen, den Armen und dem Sohn des Weges zukommen. Und was immer ihr an Gutem tut, so weiß Allah darüber Bescheid.
They ask thee, (O Muhammad), what they shall spend. Say: that which ye spend for good (must go) to parents and near kindred and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer. And whatsoever good ye do, lo! Allah is Aware of it.
Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.
Vorgeschrieben ist euch zu kämpfen, obwohl es euch zuwider ist. Aber vielleicht ist euch etwas zuwider, während es gut für euch ist, und vielleicht ist euch etwas lieb, während es schlecht für euch ist. Allah weiß, ihr aber wißt nicht.
Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not.
They ask you concerning fighting in the Sacred Months (i.e. 1st, 7th, 11th and 12th months of the Islamic calendar). Say "Fighting therein is a great (transgression) but a greater (transgression) with Allah is to prevent mankind from following the Way of Allah, to disbelieve in Him, to prevent access to Al-Masjid-Al-Haram (at Makkah), and to drive out its inhabitants, and Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion (Islamic Monotheism) if they can. And whosoever of you turns back from his religion and dies as a , then his deeds will be lost in this life and in the Hereafter, and they will be the dwellers of the Fire. They will abide therein forever."
Sie fragen dich nach dem Schutzmonat, danach, in ihm zu kämpfen. Sag: In ihm zu kämpfen ist schwerwiegend. Aber von Allahs Weg abzuhalten - und Ihn zu verleugnen -, und von der geschützten Gebetsstätte (abzuhalten) und deren Anwohner von ihr vertreiben, ist (noch) schwerwiegender bei Allah. Und Verfolgung ist schwerwiegender als Töten. Und sie werden nicht eher aufhören, gegen euch zu kämpfen, bis sie euch von eurer Religion abgekehrt haben - wenn sie (es) können. Wer aber unter euch sich von seiner Religion abkehrt und dann als Ungläubiger stirbt -, das sind diejenigen, deren Werke im Diesseits und im Jenseits hinfällig werden. Das sind Insassen des (Höllen)feuers. Ewig werden sie darin bleiben.
They question thee (O Muhammad) with regard to warfare in the sacred month. Say: Warfare therein is a great (transgression), but to turn (men) from the way of Allah, and to disbelieve in Him and in the Inviolable Place of Worship, and to expel His people thence, is a greater with Allah; for persecution is worse than killing. And they will not cease from fighting against you till they have made you renegades from your religion, if they can. And whoso becometh a renegade and dieth in his disbelief: such are they whose works have fallen both in the world and the Hereafter. Such are rightful owners of the Fire: they will abide therein.
Verily, those who have believed, and those who have emigrated (for Allah's Religion) and have striven hard in the Way of Allah, all these hope for Allah's Mercy. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
Diejenigen (aber), die glauben, und diejenigen, die auswandern und sich auf Allahs Weg abmühen, sie hoffen auf Allahs Erbarmen. Allah ist Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
Lo! those who believe, and those who emigrate (to escape the persecution) and strive in the way of Allah, these have hope of Allah's mercy. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
They ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: "In them is a great sin, and (some) benefit for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they ought to spend. Say: "That which is beyond your needs." Thus Allah makes clear to you His Laws in order that you may give thought."
Sie fragen dich nach berauschendem Trunk und Glücksspiel. Sag: In ihnen (beiden) liegt große Sünde und Nutzen für die Menschen. Aber die Sünde in ihnen (beiden) ist größer als ihr Nutzen. Und sie fragen dich, was sie ausgeben sollen. Sag: Den Überschuss. So macht Allah euch die Zeichen klar, auf daß ihr nachdenken möget,
They question thee about strong drink and games of chance. Say: In both is great sin, and (some) utility for men; but the sin of them is greater than their usefulness. And they ask thee what they ought to spend. Say: that which is superfluous. Thus Allah maketh plain to you (His) revelations, that haply ye may reflect.
In (to) this worldly life and in the Hereafter. And they ask you concerning orphans. Say: "The best thing is to work honestly in their property, and if you mix your affairs with theirs, then they are your brothers. And Allah knows him who means mischief (e.g. to swallow their property) from him who means good (e.g. to save their property). And if Allah had wished, He could have put you into difficulties. Truly, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise."
über das Diesseits und das Jenseits. Und sie fragen dich nach den Waisen. Sag: Ihre Lage zu verbessern ist besser. Und wenn ihr euch mit ihnen zusammentut, so sind sie eure Brüder. Allah weiß den Unheilstifter vom Heilstifter (zu unterscheiden). Und wenn Allah gewollt hätte, hätte Er euch wahrlich in Bedrängnis gebracht. Allah ist Allmächtig und Allweise.
Upon the world and the Hereafter. And they question thee concerning orphans. Say: To improve their lot is best. And if ye mingle your affairs with theirs, then (they are) your brothers. Allah knoweth him who spoileth from him who improveth. Had Allah willed He could have overburdened you. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
And do not marry Al-Mushrikat (idolatresses, etc.) till they believe (worship Allah Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) Mushrikah (idolatress), even though she pleases you. And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikun till they believe (in Allah Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (idolater), even though he pleases you. Those (Al-Mushrikun) invite you to the Fire, but Allah invites (you) to Paradise and Forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that they may remember.
Und heiratet Götzendienerinnen nicht, bevor sie glauben. Und eine gläubige Sklavin ist fürwahr besser als eine Götzendienerin, auch wenn diese euch gefallen sollte. Und verheiratet nicht (gläubige Frauen) mit Götzendienern, bevor sie glauben. Und ein gläubiger Sklave ist fürwahr besser als ein Götzendiener, auch wenn dieser euch gefallen sollte. Jene laden zum (Höllen)feuer ein. Allah aber lädt zum (Paradies)garten und zur Vergebung ein, mit Seiner Erlaubnis, und macht den Menschen Seine Zeichen klar, auf daß sie bedenken mögen.
Wed not idolatresses till they believe; for lo! a believing bondwoman is better than an idolatress though she please you; and give not your daughters in marriage to idolaters till they believe, for lo! a believing slave is better than an idolater though he please you. These invite unto the Fire, and Allah inviteth unto the Garden, and unto forgiveness by His grace, and expoundeth His revelations to mankind that haply they may remember.
They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: that is an Adha (a harmful thing for a husband to have a sexual intercourse with his wife while she is having her menses), therefore keep away from women during menses and go not unto them till they are purified (from menses and have taken a bath). And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah has ordained for you (go in unto them in any manner as long as it is in their vagina). Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves those who purify themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their private parts, bodies, for their prayers).
Sie fragen dich nach der Monatsblutung. Sag: Sie ist ein Leiden. So haltet euch von den Frauen während der Monatsblutung fern, und kommt ihnen nicht nahe, bis sie rein sind. Wenn sie sich dann gereinigt haben, so kommt zu ihnen, wie Allah es euch geboten hat. Allah liebt die Reumütigen, und Er liebt die, die sich rein halten.
They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: It is an illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them till they are cleansed. And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah hath enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness.
Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth, when or how you will, and send (good deeds, or ask Allah to bestow upon you pious offspring) for your ownselves beforehand. And fear Allah, and know that you are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give good tidings to the believers (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)
Eure Frauen sind euch ein Saatfeld. So kommt zu eurem Saatfeld, wann und wie ihr wollt. Doch schickt (Gutes) für euch selbst voraus. Und fürchtet Allah und wißt, daß ihr Ihm begegnen werdet. Und verkünde den Gläubigen frohe Botschaft.
Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will, and send (good deeds) before you for your souls, and fear Allah, and know that ye will (one day) meet Him. Give glad tidings to believers, (O Muhammad).
And make not Allah's (Name) an excuse in your oaths against your doing good and acting piously, and making peace among mankind. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower (i.e. do not swear much and if you have sworn against doing something good then give an expiation for the oath and do good).
Und macht nicht Allah mit euren Eiden zu einem Hinderungsgrund, gütig und gottesfürchtig zu sein und zwischen den Menschen Frieden zu stiften. Allah ist Allhörend und Allwissend.
And make not Allah, by your oaths, a hindrance to your being righteous and observing your duty unto Him and making peace among mankind. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
Allah will not call you to account for that which is unintentional in your oaths, but He will call you to account for that which your hearts have earned. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Forbearing.
Allah wird euch nicht für etwas Unbedachtes in euren Eiden belangen. Jedoch wird Er euch für das belangen, was eure Herzen erworben haben. Allah ist Allvergebend und Nachsichtig.
Allah will not take you to task for that which is unintentional in your oaths. But He will take you to task for that which your hearts have garnered. Allah is Forgiving, Clement.
Those who take an oath not to have sexual relation with their wives must wait for four months, then if they return (change their idea in this period), verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Diejenigen, die schwören, sich ihrer Frauen zu enthalten, haben eine Wartezeit von vier Monaten. Wenn sie dann (von ihrem Schwur) zurücktreten, so ist Allah Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
Those who forswear their wives must wait four months; then, if they change their mind, lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
And if they decide upon divorce, then Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
Wenn sie aber zur Scheidung entschlossen sind, so ist Allah Allhörend und Allwissend.
And if they decide upon divorce (let them remember that) Allah is Hearer, Knower.
And divorced women shall wait (as regards their marriage) for three menstrual periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs, if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have the better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation. And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses) similar (to those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect) to what is reasonable, but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
Geschiedene Frauen sollen (mit sich) selbst drei Zeitabschnitte abwarten. Und es ist ihnen nicht erlaubt, zu verheimlichen, was Allah in ihrem Mutterleib erschaffen hat, wenn sie an Allah und den Jüngsten Tag glauben. Und ihre Ehemänner haben ein größeres Anrecht, sie zurückzunehmen, wenn sie eine Aussöhnung wollen. Und ihnen (den Frauen) steht in rechtlicher Weise (gegenüber den Männern) das gleiche zu, wie (den Männern) gegenüber ihnen. Doch die Männer haben ihnen gegenüber einen gewissen Vorzug. Und Allah ist Allmächtig und Allweise.
Women who are divorced shall wait, keeping themselves apart, three (monthly) courses. And it is not lawful for them that they should conceal that which Allah hath created in their wombs if they are believers in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands would do better to take them back in that case if they desire a reconciliation. And they (women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness, and men are a degree above them. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
The divorce is twice, after that, either you retain her on reasonable terms or release her with kindness. And it is not lawful for you (men) to take back (from your wives) any of your Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) which you have given them, except when both parties fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah (e.g. to deal with each other on a fair basis). Then if you fear that they would not be able to keep the limits ordained by Allah, then there is no sin on either of them if she gives back (the Mahr or a part of it) for her Al-Khul' (divorce) . These are the limits ordained by Allah, so do not transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits ordained by Allah, then such are the Zalimun (wrong-doers).
Die (widerrufliche) Scheidung ist zweimal (erlaubt). Dann (sollen die Frauen) in rechtlicher Weise behalten oder in ordentlicher Weise freigegeben (werden). Und es ist euch nicht erlaubt, etwas von dem, was ihr ihnen gegeben habt, (wieder) zu nehmen, außer wenn die beiden fürchten, daß sie Allahs Grenzen nicht einhalten werden. Wenn ihr aber befürchtet, daß die beiden Allahs Grenzen nicht einhalten werden, dann ist für die beiden keine Sünde in dem, womit (an Geld) sie sich löst. Dies sind Allahs Grenzen, so übertretet sie nicht! Wer aber Allahs Grenzen übertritt, diejenigen sind die Ungerechten.
Divorce must be pronounced twice and then (a woman) must be retained in honour or released in kindness. And it is not lawful for you that ye take from women aught of that which ye have given them; except (in the case) when both fear that they may not be able to keep within the limits (imposed by) Allah. And if ye fear that they may not be able to keep the limits of Allah, in that case it is no sin for either of them if the woman ransom herself. These are the limits (imposed by) Allah. Transgress them not. For whoso transgresseth Allah's limits: such are wrong - doers.
And if he has divorced her (the third time), then she is not lawful unto him thereafter until she has married another husband. Then, if the other husband divorces her, it is no sin on both of them that they reunite, provided they feel that they can keep the limits ordained by Allah. These are the limits of Allah, which He makes plain for the people who have knowledge.
Wenn er sich (ein drittes, unwiderrufliches Mal) von ihr scheidet, dann ist sie ihm nicht mehr (als Gattin) erlaubt, bevor sie nicht einen anderen Mann geheiratet hat. Wenn dieser sich von ihr scheidet, so ist es keine Sünde für die beiden, zu einander zurückzukehren, wenn sie (dabei) glauben, Allahs Grenzen einhalten zu können. Dies sind Allahs Grenzen, die Er Leuten klar macht, die Bescheid wissen.
And if he hath divorced her (the third time), then she is not lawful unto him thereafter until she hath wedded another husband. Then if he (the other husband) divorce her it is no sin for both of them that they come together again if they consider that they are able to observe the limits of Allah. These are the limits of Allah. He manifesteth them for people who have knowledge.
And when you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their prescribed period, either take them back on reasonable basis or set them free on reasonable basis. But do not take them back to hurt them, and whoever does that, then he has wronged himself. And treat not the Verses (Laws) of Allah as a jest, but remember Allah's Favours on you (i.e. Islam), and that which He has sent down to you of the Book (i.e. the Qur'an) and Al-Hikmah (the Prophet's Sunnah - legal ways - Islamic jurisprudence.) whereby He instructs you. And fear Allah, and know that Allah is All-Aware of everything.
Und wenn ihr euch von Frauen scheidet und sie dann ihre festgesetzte Zeit erreichen, so behaltet sie in rechtlicher Weise oder gebt sie in rechtlicher Weise frei. Doch behaltet sie nicht mit der Absicht der Schädigung, so daß ihr übertretet. Wer dies tut, der fügt sich ja selbst Unrecht zu. Und macht euch nicht über Allahs Zeichen lustig. Und gedenkt Allahs Gunst an euch und dessen, was Er von dem Buch und an Weisheit auf euch herabgesandt hat, um euch damit zu ermahnen. Und fürchtet Allah und wißt, daß Allah über alles Bescheid weiß.
When ye have divorced women, and they have reached their term, then retain them in kindness or release them in kindness. Retain them not to their hurt so that ye transgress (the limits). He who doeth that hath wronged his soul. Make not the revelations of Allah a laughing - stock (by your behaviour), but remember Allah's grace upon you and that which He hath revealed unto you of the Scripture and of wisdom, whereby He doth exhort you. Observe your duty to Allah and know that Allah is Aware of all things.
And when you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their prescribed period, do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands, if they mutually agree on reasonable basis. This (instruction) is an admonition for him among you who believes in Allah and the Last Day. That is more virtuous and purer for you. Allah knows and you know not.
Und wenn ihr euch von Frauen scheidet und sie dann ihre festgesetzte Zeit erreicht haben, so haltet sie nicht davon ab, ihre Gatten zu heiraten, wenn sie sich in rechtlicher Weise miteinander geeinigt haben. Damit wird von euch ermahnt, wer an Allah und den Jüngsten Tag glaubt. Das ist lauterer für euch und reiner. Allah weiß, ihr aber wißt nicht.
And when ye have divorced women and they reach their term, place not difficulties in the way of their marrying their husbands if it is agreed between them in kindness. This is an admonition for him among you who believeth in Allah and the Last Day. That is more virtuous for you, and cleaner. Allah knoweth; ye know not.
The mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years, (that is) for those (parents) who desire to complete the term of suckling, but the father of the child shall bear the cost of the mother's food and clothing on a reasonable basis. No person shall have a burden laid on him greater than he can bear. No mother shall be treated unfairly on account of her child, nor father on account of his child. And on the (father's) heir is incumbent the like of that (which was incumbent on the father). If they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation, there is no sin on them. And if you decide on a foster suckling-mother for your children, there is no sin on you, provided you pay (the mother) what you agreed (to give her) on reasonable basis. And fear Allah and know that Allah is All-Seer of what you do.
Und die Mütter stillen ihre Kinder zwei volle Jahre. (Das gilt) für jemanden, der das Stillen zu Ende führen will. Und demjenigen, dem das Kind geboren wurde, obliegt es, für ihre Versorgung und Kleidung in rechtlicher Weise aufzukommen. Keiner Seele wird mehr auferlegt, als sie zu leisten vermag. Keine Mutter soll wegen ihres Kindes zu Schaden kommen, noch einer, dem das Kind geboren wurde, wegen seines Kindes. Und dem Erben obliegt das gleiche. Wenn sie beide jedoch in gegenseitigem Einvernehmen und gemeinsamer Beratung (das Kind vorzeitig) entwöhnen wollen, so ist darin keine Sünde für sie (beide). Und wenn ihr eure Kinder (von einer Amme) stillen lassen wollt, so ist darin keine Sünde für euch, sofern ihr das, was ihr geben wollt, in rechtlicher Weise aushändigt. Und fürchtet Allah und wißt, daß Allah das, was ihr tut, wohl sieht!
Mothers shall suckle their children for two whole years; (that is) for those who wish to complete the suckling. The duty of feeding and clothing nursing mothers in a seemly manner is upon the father of the child. No - one should be charged beyond his capacity. A mother should not be made to suffer because of her child, nor should he to whom the child is born (be made to suffer) because of his child. And on the (father's) heir is incumbent the like of that (which was incumbent on the father). If they desire to wean the child by mutual consent and (after) consultation, it is no sin for them; and if ye wish to give your children out to nurse, it is no sin for you, provide that ye pay what is due from you in kindness. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is Seer of what ye do.
And those of you who die and leave wives behind them, they (the wives) shall wait (as regards their marriage) for four months and ten days, then when they have fulfilled their term, there is no sin on you if they (the wives) dispose of themselves in a just and honourable manner (i.e. they can marry). And Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do.
Und diejenigen von euch, die abberufen werden und Gattinnen hinterlassen - so sollen diese (mit sich) selbst vier Monate und zehn (Tage) abwarten. Wenn sie dann ihre festgesetzte Zeit erreicht haben, so ist für euch keine Sünde in dem, was sie in rechtlicher Weise mit sich selbst unternehmen. Allah ist dessen, was ihr tut, Kundig.
Such of you as die and leave behind them wives, they (the wives) shall wait, keeping themselves apart, four months and ten days. And when they reach the term (prescribed for them) then there is no sin for you in aught that they may do with themselves in decency. Allah is of what ye do.
And there is no sin on you if you make a hint of betrothal or conceal it in yourself, Allah knows that you will remember them, but do not make a promise of contract with them in secret except that you speak an honourable saying according to the Islamic law. And do not consummate the marriage until the term prescribed is fulfilled. And know that Allah knows what is in your minds, so fear Him. And know that Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.
Und es ist für euch keine Sünde darin, daß ihr den Frauen Andeutungen auf einen Heiratsantrag macht, oder daß ihr etwas (derartiges) in euch hegt. Allah weiß, daß ihr an sie denken werdet. Aber trefft nicht heimlich eine Abmachung mit ihnen, außer ihr sagt geziemende Worte. Und schließt nicht den Ehebund, bevor die vorgeschriebene Frist ihre festgesetzte Zeit erreicht hat. Wißt, daß Allah weiß, was in eurem Innersten ist. So seht euch vor Ihm vor! Und wißt, daß Allah Allvergebend und Nachsichtig ist.
There is no sin for you in that which ye proclaim or hide in your minds concerning your troth with women. Allah knoweth that ye will remember them. But plight not your troth with women except by uttering a recognised form of words. And do not consummate the marriage until (the term) prescribed is run. Know that Allah knoweth what is in your minds, so beware of Him; and know that Allah is Forgiving, Clement.
There is no sin on you, if you divorce women while yet you have not touched (had sexual relation with) them, nor appointed unto them their Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage). But bestow on them (a suitable gift), the rich according to his means, and the poor according to his means, a gift of reasonable amount is a duty on the doers of good.
Es ist für euch keine Sünde darin, wenn ihr euch von Frauen scheidet, solange ihr sie noch nicht berührt oder euch ihnen gegenüber (zu einer Morgengabe) verpflichtet habt. Doch gewährt ihnen eine Abfindung - der Wohlhabende entsprechend seinen Verhältnissen und der Geringbemittelte entsprechend seinen Verhältnissen -, eine Abfindung in rechtlicher Weise. (Dies ist) eine Pflicht für die Gutes Tuenden.
It is no sin for you if ye divorce women while yet ye have not touched them, nor appointed unto them a portion. Provide for them, the rich according to his means, and the straitened according to his means, a fair provision. (This is) a bounden duty for those who do good.
And if you divorce them before you have touched (had a sexual relation with) them, and you have appointed unto them the Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage), then pay half of that (Mahr), unless they (the women) agree to forego it, or he (the husband), in whose hands is the marriage tie, agrees to forego and give her full appointed Mahr. And to forego and give (her the full Mahr) is nearer to At-Taqwa (piety, righteousness). And do not forget liberality between yourselves. Truly, Allah is All-Seer of what you do.
Aber wenn ihr euch von ihnen scheidet, bevor ihr sie berührt und euch ihnen gegenüber schon (zu einer Morgengabe) verpflichtet habt, dann (händigt) die Hälfte dessen (aus), wozu ihr euch verpflichtet habt, es sei denn, daß sie (es) erlassen oder der, in dessen Hand der Ehebund ist. Und wenn ihr (es) erlaßt, kommt das der Gottesfurcht näher. Und versäumt es nicht, gut zueinander zu sein . Was ihr tut, sieht Allah wohl.
If ye divorce them before ye have touched them and ye have appointed unto them a portion, then (pay the) half of that which ye appointed, unless they (the women) agree to forgo it, or he agreeth to forgo it in whose hand is the marriage tie. To forgo is nearer to piety. And forget not kindness among yourselves. Allah is Seer of what ye do.
Guard strictly (five obligatory) As-Salawat (the prayers) especially the middle Salat (i.e. the best prayer - 'Asr ) . And stand before Allah with obedience [and do not speak to others during the Salat (prayers)].
Haltet die Gebete ein, und (besonders) das mittlere Gebet, und steht demütig ergeben vor Allah.
Be guardians of your prayers, and of the midmost prayer, and stand up with devotion to Allah.
And if you fear (an enemy), perform Salat (pray) on foot or riding. And when you are in safety, offer the Salat (prayer) in the manner He has taught you, which you knew not (before).
Wenn ihr in Furcht seid, dann (verrichtet das Gebet) zu Fuß oder im Reiten. Wenn ihr aber (wieder) in Sicherheit seid, dann gedenkt Allahs, wie Er euch gelehrt hat, was ihr nicht wußtet.
And if ye go in fear, then (pray) standing or on horseback. And when ye are again in safety, remember Allah, as He hath taught you that which (heretofore) ye knew not.
And those of you who die and leave behind wives should bequeath for their wives a year's maintenance and residence without turning them out, but if they (wives) leave, there is no sin on you for that which they do of themselves, provided it is honourable (e.g. lawful marriage). And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise .
Diejenigen von euch, die abberufen werden und Gattinnen hinterlassen, sollen ihren Gattinnen eine Abfindung für ein Jahr vermachen, ohne daß sie aus (dem Haus) gewiesen werden. Wenn sie aber ausziehen, so liegt für euch keine Sünde in dem, was sie mit sich selbst an Geziemendem unternehmen. Allah ist Allmächtig und Allweise.
(In the case of) those of you who are about to die and leave behind them wives, they should bequeath unto their wives a provision for the year without turning them out, but if they go out (of their own accord) there is no sin for you in that which they do of themselves within their rights. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
And for divorced women, maintenance (should be provided) on reasonable (scale). This is a duty on Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
Und den geschiedenen Frauen steht eine Abfindung in rechtlicher Weise zu - eine Pflicht für die Gottesfürchtigen.
For divorced women a provision in kindness: a duty for those who ward off (evil).
Thus Allah makes clear His Ayat (Laws) to you, in order that you may understand.
So macht Allah euch Seine Zeichen klar, auf daß ihr begreifen möget.
Thus Allah expoundeth unto you His revelations so that ye may understand.
Did you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) not think of those who went forth from their homes in thousands, fearing death? Allah said to them, "Die". And then He restored them to life. Truly, Allah is full of bounty to mankind, but most men thank not.
Siehst du nicht jene, die, um dem Tod zu entfliehen, zu Tausenden aus ihren Wohnstätten hinauszogen? Da sagte Allah zu ihnen: "Sterbt!" Hierauf machte Er sie wieder lebendig. Allah ist wahrlich voll Huld gegen die Menschen. Aber die meisten Menschen sind nicht dankbar.
Bethink thee (O Muhammad) of those of old, who went forth from their habitations in their thousands, fearing death, and Allah said unto them: Die; and then He brought them back to life. Lo! Allah is a Lord of Kindness to mankind, but most of mankind give not thanks.
And fight in the Way of Allah and know that Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
Und kämpft auf Allahs Weg und wißt, daß Allah Allhörend und Allwissend ist.
Fight in the way of Allah, and know that Allah is Hearer, Knower.
Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times? And it is Allah that decreases or increases (your provisions), and unto Him you shall return.
Wer ist es denn, der Allah ein schönes Darlehen gibt? So vermehrt Er es ihm um ein Vielfaches. Allah hält zurück und gewährt, und zu Ihm werdet ihr zurückgebracht.
Who is it that will lend unto Allah a goodly loan, so that He may give it increase manifold ? Allah straiteneth and enlargeth. Unto Him ye will return.
Have you not thought about the group of the Children of Israel after (the time of) Musa (Moses)? When they said to a Prophet of theirs, "Appoint for us a king and we will fight in Allah's Way." He said, "Would you then refrain from fighting, if fighting was prescribed for you?" They said, "Why should we not fight in Allah's Way while we have been driven out of our homes and our children (families have been taken as captives)?" But when fighting was ordered for them, they turned away, all except a few of them. And Allah is All-Aware of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers).
Siehst du nicht die führende Schar von den Kindern Isra'ils nach Musa, als sie zu einem ihrer Propheten sagten: "Setze einen König für uns ein, damit wir auf Allahs Weg kämpfen."? Er sagte: "Werdet ihr vielleicht, wenn euch zu kämpfen vorgeschrieben ist, doch nicht kämpfen?" Sie sagten: "Warum sollten wir nicht auf Allahs Weg kämpfen, wo wir doch aus unseren Wohnstätten und von unseren Söhnen vertrieben worden sind?" Doch als ihnen vorgeschrieben wurde zu kämpfen, kehrten sie sich - bis auf wenige von ihnen - ab. Und Allah weiß über die Ungerechten Bescheid.
Bethink thee of the leaders of the Children of Israel after Moses, how they said unto a prophet whom they had: Set up for us a king and we will fight in Allah's way. He said: Would ye then refrain from fighting if fighting were prescribed for you ? They said: Why should we not fight in Allah's way when we have been driven from our dwellings with our children ? Yet, when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, all save a few of them. Allah is aware of evil - doers.
And their Prophet (Samuel عليه السلام) said to them, "Indeed Allah has appointed Talut (Saul) as a king over you." They said, "How can he be a king over us when we are fitter than him for the kingdom, and he has not been given enough wealth." He said: "Verily, Allah has chosen him above you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allah grants His kingdom to whom He wills. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower."
Und ihr Prophet sagte zu ihnen: "Allah hat euch (hiermit) Talut als König geschickt." Sie sagten: "Wie sollte er die Herrschaft über uns haben, wo wir doch ein größeres Anrecht auf die Herrschaft haben, und ihm nicht Wohlstand gegeben ist?" Er sagte: "Allah hat ihn vor euch auserwählt und ihm ein Übermaß an Wissen und körperlichen Vorzügen verliehen. Und Allah gibt Seine Herrschaft, wem Er will. Allah ist Allumfassend und Allwissend.."
Their Prophet said unto them: Lo! Allah hath raised up Saul to be a king for you. They said: How can he have kingdom over us when we are more deserving of the kingdom than he is, since he hath not been given wealth enough ? He said: Lo! Allah hath chosen him above you, and hath increased him abundantly in wisdom and stature. Allah bestoweth His Sovereignty on whom He will. Allah is All - Embracing, All - Knowing.
And their Prophet (Samuel عليه السلام) said to them: Verily! The sign of His kingdom is that there shall come to you At-Tabut (a wooden box), wherein is Sakinah (peace and reassurance) from your Lord and a remnant of that which Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron) left behind, carried by the angels. Verily, in this is a sign for you if you are indeed believers.
Und ihr Prophet sagte zu ihnen: "Das Zeichen seiner Herrschaft ist, daß die Bundeslade zu euch kommen wird; in ihr ist innere Ruhe von eurem Herrn und ein Rest von dem, was die Sippe Musas und die Sippe Haruns hinterließen, getragen von Engeln. Darin soll wahrlich ein Zeichen für euch sein, wenn ihr gläubig seid."
And their Prophet said unto them: Lo! the token of his kingdom is that there shall come unto you the ark wherein is peace of reassurance from your Lord, and a remnant of that which the house of Moses and the house of Aaron left behind, the angels bearing it. Lo! herein shall be a token for you if (in truth) ye are believers.
Then when Talut (Saul) set out with the army, he said: "Verily! Allah will try you by a river. So whoever drinks thereof, he is not of me, and whoever tastes it not, he is of me, except him who takes (thereof) in the hollow of his hand." Yet, they drank thereof, all, except a few of them. So when he had crossed it (the river), he and those who believed with him, they said: "We have no power this day against Jalut (Goliath) and his hosts." But those who knew with certainty that they were going to meet Allah, said: "How often a small group overcame a mighty host by Allah's Leave?" And Allah is with As-Sabirun (the patient).
Und als nun Talut mit den Heerscharen aufgebrochen war, sagte er: "Allah wird euch mit einem Fluß prüfen. Wer davon trinkt, gehört nicht zu mir. Und wer nicht davon kostet, der gehört zu mir, außer demjenigen, der (nur) eine Handvoll schöpft." Da tranken sie davon - bis auf wenige von ihnen. Und als er ihn überschritten hatte, er und diejenigen, mit ihm glaubten, sagten sie: "Wir haben heute keine Kraft gegen Galut und seine Heerscharen." Diejenigen aber, die glaubten, daß sie Allah begegnen würden, sagten: "Wie so manch eine geringe Schar hat schon mit Allahs Erlaubnis eine große Schar besiegt! Allah ist mit den Standhaften."
And when Saul set out with the army, he said: Lo! Allah will try you by (the ordeal of) a river. Whosoever therefore drinketh thereof he is not of me, and whosoever tasteth it not he is of me, save him who taketh (thereof) in the hollow of his hand. But they drank thereof, all save a few of them. And after he had crossed (the river), he and those who believed with him, they said: We have no power this day against Goliath and his hosts. But those who knew that they would meet Allah exclaimed: How many a little company hath overcome a mighty host by Allah's leave! Allah is with the steadfast.
And when they advanced to meet Jalut (Goliath) and his forces, they invoked: "Our Lord! Pour forth on us patience, and set firm our feet and make us victorious over the disbelieving people."
Und als sie gegen Galut und seine Heerscharen auf dem Plan erschienen, sagten sie: "Unser Herr, überschütte uns mit Standhaftigkeit, festige unsere Füße und verhilf uns zum Sieg über das ungläubige Volk!"
And when they went into the field against Goliath and his hosts they said: Our Lord! Bestow on us endurance, make our foothold sure, and give us help against the disbelieving folk.
So they routed them by Allah's Leave and Dawud (David) killed Jalut (Goliath), and Allah gave him [Dawud (David)] the kingdom [after the death of Talut (Saul) and Samuel] and Al-Hikmah (Prophethood), and taught him of that which He willed. And if Allah did not check one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed be full of mischief. But Allah is full of bounty to the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
Und so schlugen sie sie mit Allahs Erlaubnis, und Dawud tötete Galut. Und Allah gab ihm die Herrschaft und die Weisheit und lehrte ihn von dem, was Er wollte. Und wenn nicht Allah die einen Menschen durch die anderen zurückweisen würde, geriete die Erde wahrlich ins Verderben. Aber Allah ist voll Huld gegen die Weltenbewohner.
So they routed them by Allah's leave and David slew Goliath; and Allah gave him the kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of that which He willeth. And if Allah had not repelled some men by others the earth would have been corrupted. But Allah is a Lord of Kindness to (His) creatures.
These are the Verses of Allah, We recite them to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) in truth, and surely, you are one of the Messengers (of Allah).
Dies sind Allahs Zeichen, die Wir dir der Wahrheit entsprechend verlesen. Und du bist wahrlich einer der Gesandten.
These are the portents of Allah which We recite unto thee (Muhammad) with truth, and lo! thou art of the number of (Our) messengers;
Those Messengers! We preferred some of them to others; to some of them Allah spoke (directly); others He raised to degrees (of honour); and to 'Îsa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), We gave clear proofs and evidence, and supported him with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel)]. If Allah had willed, succeeding generations would not have fought against each other, after clear Verses of Allah had come to them, but they differed - some of them believed and others disbelieved. If Allah had willed, they would not have fought against one another, but Allah does what He likes.
Dies sind die Gesandten; einige von ihnen haben Wir vor anderen bevorzugt. Unter ihnen gibt es manche, zu denen Allah gesprochen hat, und einige, die Er um Rangstufen erhöht hat. Und 'Isa, dem Sohn Maryams, gaben Wir die klaren Beweise und stärkten ihn mit dem Heiligen Geist. Und wenn Allah gewollt hätte, hätten diejenigen nach ihnen nicht miteinander gekämpft, nachdem die klaren Beweise zu ihnen gekommen waren. Aber sie waren uneinig: Unter ihnen gab es manche, die glaubten und andere, die ungläubig waren. Und wenn Allah gewollt hätte, hätten sie nicht miteinander gekämpft. Doch Allah tut, was Er will.
Of those messengers, some of whom We have caused to excel others, and of whom there are some unto whom Allah spake, while some of them He exalted (above others) in degree; and We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) and We supported him with the holy Spirit. And if Allah had so wiled it, those who followed after them would not have fought one with another after the clear proofs had come unto them. But they differed, some of them believing and some disbelieving. And if Allah had so willed it, they would not have fought one with another; but Allah doeth what He will.
O you who believe! Spend of that with which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are the Zalimun (wrong-doers).
O die ihr glaubt, gebt aus von dem, womit Wir euch versorgt haben, bevor ein Tag kommt, an dem es keinen Verkauf, keine Freundschaft und keine Fürsprache gibt! Die Ungläubigen sind die Ungerechten.
O ye who believe! spend of that wherewith We have provided you ere a day come when there will be no trafficking, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers, they are the wrong - doers.
Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists). Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. [This Verse 2:255 is called Ayat-ul-Kursi ]
Allah - es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm, dem Lebendigen und Beständigen. Ihn überkommt weder Schlummer noch Schlaf. Ihm gehört (alles), was in den Himmeln und was auf der Erde ist. Wer ist es denn, der bei Ihm Fürsprache einlegen könnte - außer mit Seiner Erlaubnis? Er weiß, was vor ihnen und was hinter ihnen liegt, sie aber umfassen nichts von Seinem Wissen - außer, was Er will. Sein Thronschemel umfaßt die Himmel und die Erde, und ihre Behütung beschwert Ihn nicht. Er ist der Erhabene und Allgewaltige.
Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave ? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.
There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
Es gibt keinen Zwang im Glauben. (Der Weg der) Besonnenheit ist nunmehr klar unterschieden von (dem der) Verirrung. Wer also falsche Götter verleugnet, jedoch an Allah glaubt, der hält sich an der festesten Handhabe, bei der es kein Zerreißen gibt. Und Allah ist Allhörend und Allwissend.
There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
Allah is the Wali (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light. But as for those who disbelieve, their Auliya (supporters and helpers) are Taghut [false deities and false leaders], they bring them out from light into darkness. Those are the dwellers of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever. (See V.2:81,82)
Allah ist der Schutzherr derjenigen, die glauben. Er bringt sie aus den Finsternissen heraus ins Licht. Diejenigen aber, die ungläubig sind, deren Schutzherren sind die falschen Götter. Sie bringen sie aus dem Licht hinaus in die Finsternisse. Das sind Insassen des (Höllen)feuers. Ewig werden sie darin bleiben.
Allah is the Protecting Guardian of those who believe. He bringeth them out of darkness into light. As for those who disbelieve, their patrons are false deities. They bring them out of light into darkness. Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.
Have you not looked at him who disputed with Ibrahim (Abraham) about his Lord (Allah), because Allah had given him the kingdom? When Ibrahim (Abraham) said (to him): "My Lord (Allah) is He Who gives life and causes death." He said, "I give life and cause death." Ibrahim (Abraham) said, "Verily! Allah brings the sun from the east; then bring it you from the west." So the was utterly defeated. And Allah guides not the people, who are Zalimun (wrong-doers).
Siehst du nicht jenen, der mit Ibrahim über seinen Herrn stritt, weil Allah ihm die Herrschaft gegeben hatte? (Damals) als Ibrahim sagte: "Mein Herr ist Derjenige, Der lebendig macht und sterben läßt." Er sagte: "Ich mache lebendig und lasse sterben." Ibrahim sagte: "Allah bringt ja die Sonne vom Osten her; so bringe du sie vom Westen her!" Da war derjenige, der ungläubig war, verblüfft. Und Allah leitet nicht das ungerechte Volk recht.
Bethink thee of him who had an argument with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom; how, when Abraham said: My Lord is He Who giveth life and causeth death, he answered: I give life and cause death. Abraham said: Lo! Allah causeth the sun to rise in the East, so do thou cause it to come up from the West. Thus was the abashed. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
Or like the one who passed by a town while it had tumbled over its roofs. He said: "Oh! How will Allah ever bring it to life after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long did you remain (dead)?" He (the man) said: "(Perhaps) I remained (dead) a day or part of a day". He said: "Nay, you have remained (dead) for a hundred years, look at your food and your drink, they show no change; and look at your donkey! And thus We have made of you a sign for the people. Look at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh". When this was clearly shown to him, he said, "I know (now) that Allah is Able to do all things."
Oder (kennst du nicht) einen ähnlichen, denjenigen, der an einer Stadt vorbeikam, die wüst in Trümmern lag? Er sagte: "Wie sollte Allah diese (Stadt) wieder lebendig machen, nachdem sie ausgestorben ist?" Da ließ Allah ihn (für) hundert Jahre tot sein. Hierauf erweckte Er ihn und sagte: "Wie lange hast du verweilt?" Er sagte: "Ich verweilte einen Tag oder den Teil eines Tages." Er sagte: "Nein! Vielmehr verweiltest du hundert Jahre. Nun schau deine Speise und dein Getränk an! Sie sind nicht verfault. Und schau deinen Esel an! - Und damit Wir dich zu einem Zeichen machen für die Menschen. Und schau die Knochen an, wie Wir sie zusammensetzen und sie hierauf mit Fleisch bekleiden!" Nachdem es ihm klar geworden war, sagte er: "Ich weiß (jetzt), daß Allah zu allem die Macht hat."
Or (bethink thee of) the like of him who, passing by a township which had fallen into utter ruin, exclaimed: How shall Allah give this township life after its death ? And Allah made him die a hundred years, then brought him back to life. He said: How long hast thou tarried ? (The man) said: I have tarried a day or part of a day. (He) said: Nay, but thou hast tarried for a hundred years. Just look at thy food and drink which have not rotted! Look at thine ass! And, that We may make thee a token unto mankind, look at the bones, how We adjust them and then cover them with flesh! And when (the matter) became clear unto him, he said: I know now that Allah is Able to do all things.
And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said, "My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead." He (Allah) said: "Do you not believe?" He [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Yes (I believe), but to be stronger in Faith." He said: "Take four birds, then cause them to incline towards you (then slaughter them, cut them into pieces), and then put a portion of them on every hill, and call them, they will come to you in haste. And know that Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise."
Und als Ibrahim sagte: "Mein Herr, zeige mir, wie Du die Toten lebendig machst!" Er sagte: "Glaubst du immer noch nicht?" Er sagte: "Doch, aber (ich frage,) damit mein Herz Ruhe findet." Er (Allah) sagte: "So nimm vier von den Vögeln und zieh sie dann her zu dir. Hierauf setze auf jeden Berg einen Teil von ihnen. Hierauf rufe sie, so werden sie zu dir herbeigeeilt kommen. Und wisse, daß Allah Allmächtig und Allweise ist."
And when Abraham said (unto his Lord): My Lord! Show me how Thou givest life to the dead, He said: Dost thou not believe ? Abraham said: Yea, but (I ask) in order that my heart may be at ease. (His Lord) said: Take four of the birds and cause them to incline unto thee, then place a part of them on each hill, then call them, they will come to thee in haste, and know that Allah is Mighty, Wise.
The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allah gives manifold increase to whom He wills. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower.
Das Gleichnis derjenigen, die ihren Besitz auf Allahs Weg ausgeben, ist das eines Saatkorns, das sieben Ähren wachsen läßt, (und) in jeder Ähre hundert Körner. Allah vervielfacht, wem Er will. Und Allah ist Allumfassend und Allwissend.
The likeness of those who spend their wealth in Allah's way is as the likeness of a grain which groweth seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains. Allah giveth increase manifold to whom He will. Allah is All - Embracing, All - Knowing.
Those who spend their wealth in the Cause of Allah, and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury, their reward is with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Diejenigen, die ihren Besitz auf Allahs Weg ausgeben und hierauf dem, was sie ausgegeben haben, weder Vorhaltungen noch Beleidigungen nachfolgen lassen, die haben ihren Lohn bei ihrem Herrn, und keine Furcht soll über sie kommen, noch sollen sie traurig sein.
Those who spend their wealth for the cause of Allah and afterward make not reproach and injury to follow that which they have spent; their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them, neither shall they grieve.
Kind words and forgiving of faults are better than Sadaqah (charity) followed by injury. And Allah is Rich (Free of all needs) and He is Most-Forbearing.
Freundliche Worte und Vergebung sind besser als ein Almosen, dem Beleidigungen nachfolgen. Allah ist Unbedürftig und Nachsichtig.
A kind word with forgiveness is better than almsgiving followed by injury. Allah is Absolute, Clement.
O you who believe! Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity) by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men, and he does not believe in Allah, nor in the Last Day. His likeness is the likeness of a smooth rock on which is a little dust; on it falls heavy rain which leaves it bare. They are not able to do anything with what they have earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
O die ihr glaubt, macht nicht eure Almosen durch Vorhaltungen und Beleidigungen zunichte, wie derjenige, der seinen Besitz aus Augendienerei vor den Menschen ausgibt und nicht an Allah und den Jüngsten Tag glaubt! So ist sein Gleichnis das eines glatten Steins mit Erdreich darüber: Ein heftiger Regenguß trifft ihn und läßt ihn nackt. Sie haben keine Macht über etwas von dem, was sie erworben haben. Allah leitet das ungläubige Volk nicht recht.
O ye who believe! Render not vain your almsgiving by reproach and injury, like him who spendeth his wealth only to be seen of men and believeth not in Allah and the Last Day. His likeness is as the likeness of a rock whereon is dust of earth; a rainstorm smiteth it, leaving it smooth and bare. They have no control of aught of that which they have gained. Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.
And the likeness of those who spend their wealth seeking Allah's Pleasure while they in their ownselves are sure and certain that Allah will reward them (for their spending in His Cause), is the likeness of a garden on a height; heavy rain falls on it and it doubles its yield of harvest. And if it does not receive heavy rain, light rain suffices it. And Allah is All-Seer (knows well) of what you do.
Das Gleichnis jener aber, die ihren Besitz im Trachten nach Allahs Zufriedenheit und aus ihrer Gewißheit ausgeben, ist das eines Gartens auf einer Anhöhe, den ein heftiger Regenguß trifft, und da bringt er seinen Ernteertrag zweifach (hervor). Und wenn ihn kein heftiger Regenguß trifft, so doch Sprühregen. Und was ihr tut, sieht Allah wohl.
And the likeness of those who spend their wealth in search of Allah's pleasure, and for the strengthening of their souls, is as the likeness of a garden on a height. The rainstorm smiteth it and it bringeth forth its fruit twofold. And if the rainstorm smite it not, then the shower. Allah is Seer of what ye do.
Would any of you wish to have a garden with date-palms and vines, with rivers flowing underneath, and all kinds of fruits for him therein, while he is striken with old age, and his children are weak (not able to look after themselves), then it is struck with a fiery whirlwind, so that it is burnt? Thus does Allah make clear His Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses) to you that you may give thought.
Möchte einer von euch gern, daß er einen Garten habe mit Palmen und Rebstöcken, durcheilt von Bächen, in dem er von allen Früchten hat, während ihn (schon) hohes Alter getroffen hat und er (noch) schwache Nachkommenschaft hat, und daß ihn (den Garten) dann ein glühend heißer Wirbelwind treffe und er hierauf verbrenne? So macht Allah euch die Zeichen klar, auf daß ihr nachdenken möget!
Would any of you like to have a garden of palm - trees and vines, with rivers flowing underneath it, with all kinds of fruit for him therein; and old age hath stricken him and he hath feeble offspring; and a fiery whirlwind striketh it and it is (all) consumed by fire. Thus Allah maketh plain His revelations unto you, in order that ye may give thought.
O you who believe! Spend of the good things which you have (legally) earned, and of that which We have produced from the earth for you, and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it, (though) you would not accept it save if you close your eyes and tolerate therein. And know that Allah is Rich (Free of all needs), and Worthy of all praise.
O die ihr glaubt, gebt aus von den guten Dingen aus eurem Erworbenen und von dem, was Wir für euch aus der Erde hervorgebracht haben. Und sucht nicht zum Ausgeben das Schlechte davon aus, während ihr (selbst) es nicht nehmen würdet, ohne dabei ein Auge zuzudrücken. Und wißt, daß Allah Unbedürftig und Lobenswürdig ist.
O ye who believe! Spend of the good things which ye have earned, and of that which We bring forth from the earth for you, and seek not the bad (with intent) to spend thereof (in charity) when ye would not take it for yourselves save with disdain; and know that Allah is Absolute, Owner of Praise.
Shaitan (Satan) threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahsha (evil deeds, illegal sexual intercourse, sins); whereas Allah promises you Forgiveness from Himself and Bounty, and Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower.
Der Satan verspricht euch Armut und befiehlt euch Schändliches. Allah aber verspricht euch Vergebung von Sich aus und Huld. Allah ist Allumfassend und Allwissend.
The devil promiseth you destitution and enjoineth on you lewdness. But Allah promiseth you forgiveness from Himself with bounty. Allah is All - Embracing, All - knowing.
He grants Hikmah to whom He pleases, and he, to whom Hikmah is granted, is indeed granted abundant good. But none remember (will receive admonition) except men of understanding.
Er gibt Weisheit, wem Er will; und wem Weisheit gegeben wurde, dem wurde da viel Gutes gegeben. Aber nur diejenigen bedenken, die Verstand besitzen.
He giveth wisdom unto whom He will, and he unto whom wisdom is given, he truly hath received abundant good. But none remember except men of understanding.
And whatever you spend for spendings (e.g., in Sadaqah - charity for Allah's Cause) or whatever vow you make, be sure Allah knows it all. And for the Zalimun (wrong-doers) there are no helpers.
Und was immer ihr an Spenden ausgebt oder als Gelübde gelobt, Allah weiß es. Und die Ungerechten werden keine Helfer haben.
Whatever alms ye spend or vow ye vow, lo! Allah knoweth it. Wrong - doers have no helpers.
If you disclose your Sadaqat (alms-giving), it is well; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, that is better for you. (Allah) will expiate you some of your sins. And Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do.
Wenn ihr Almosen offen zeigt, so ist es trefflich. Wenn ihr sie aber verbergt und den Armen gebt, so ist es besser für euch, und Er (Allah) wird etwas von euren bösen Taten tilgen. Allah ist dessen, was ihr tut, Kundig.
If ye publish your almsgiving, it is well, but if ye hide it and give it to the poor, it will be better for you, and will atone for some of your ill - deeds. Allah is of what ye do.
Not upon you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is their guidance, but Allah guides whom He wills. And whatever you spend in good, it is for yourselves, when you spend not except seeking Allah's Countenance. And whatever you spend in good, it will be repaid to you in full, and you shall not be wronged.
Nicht dir obliegt ihre Rechtleitung, sondern Allah leitet recht, wen Er will. Was immer ihr an Gutem ausgebt, (das) ist für euch selbst. Und ihr gebt nur im Trachten nach Allahs Angesicht aus. Und was immer ihr an Gutem ausgebt, wird euch in vollem Maß zukommen, und es wird euch kein Unrecht zugefügt.
The guiding of them is not thy duty (O Muhammad), but Allah guideth whom He will. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, it is for yourselves, when ye spend not save in search of Allah's Countenance; and whatsoever good thing ye spend, it will be repaid to you in full, and ye will not be wronged.
(Charity is) for Fuqara (the poor), who in Allah's Cause are restricted (from travel), and cannot move about in the land (for trade or work). The one who knows them not, thinks that they are rich because of their modesty. You may know them by their mark, they do not beg of people at all. And whatever you spend in good, surely, Allah knows it well.
(Gebt am besten aus) für die Armen, die auf Allahs Weg daran gehindert werden, im Lande umherreisen zu können. Der Unwissende hält sie wegen ihrer Zurückhaltung für unbedürftig. Du erkennst sie an ihrem Merkmal: Sie betteln die Menschen nicht aufdringlich an. Und was immer ihr an Gutem ausgebt, so weiß Allah darüber Bescheid.
(Alms are) for the poor who are straitened for the cause of Allah, who cannot travel in the land (for trade). The unthinking man accounteth them wealthy because of their restraint. Thou shalt know them by their mark: They do not beg of men with importunity. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, lo! Allah knoweth it.
Those who spend their wealth (in Allah's Cause) by night and day, in secret and in public, they shall have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Diejenigen, die ihren Besitz bei Nacht und Tag, heimlich oder öffentlich ausgeben, haben ihren Lohn bei ihrem Herrn, und keine Furcht soll sie überkommen, noch werden sie traurig sein.
Those who spend their wealth by night and day, by stealth and openly, verily their reward is with their Lord, and their shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
Those who eat Riba (usury) will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaitan (Satan) leading him to insanity. That is because they say: "Trading is only like Riba (usury)," whereas Allah has permitted trading and forbidden Riba (usury). So whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Riba (usury) shall not be punished for the past; his case is for Allah (to judge); but whoever returns [to Riba (usury)], such are the dwellers of the Fire - they will abide therein.
Diejenigen, die Zins verschlingen, werden nicht anders aufstehen als jemand, den der Satan durch Wahnsinn hin und her schlägt. Dies (wird sein), weil sie sagten: "Verkaufen ist das gleiche wie Zinsnehmen." Doch hat Allah Verkaufen erlaubt und Zinsnehmen verboten. Zu wem nun eine Ermahnung von seinem Herrn kommt, und der dann aufhört, dem soll gehören, was vergangen ist, und seine Angelegenheit steht bei Allah. Wer aber rückfällig wird, jene sind Insassen des (Höllen)feuers. Ewig werden sie darin bleiben.
Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: Trade is just like usury; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury. He unto whom an admonition from his Lord cometh, and (he) refraineth (in obedience thereto), he shall keep (the profits of) that which is past, and his affair (henceforth) is with Allah. As for him who returneth (to usury) - Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.
Allah will destroy Riba (usury) and will give increase for Sadaqat (deeds of charity, alms, etc.) And Allah likes not the disbelievers, sinners.
Dahinschwinden lassen wird Allah den Zins und vermehren die Almosen. Allah liebt niemanden, der ein beharrlicher Ungläubiger und Sünder ist.
Allah hath blighted usury and made almsgiving fruitful. Allah loveth not the impious and guilty.
Truly those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat they will have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Gewiß, diejenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun, das Gebet verrichten und die Abgabe entrichten, die haben ihren Lohn bei ihrem Herrn, und keine Furcht soll sie überkommen, noch werden sie traurig sein.
Lo! those who believe and do good works and establish worship and pay the poor - due, their reward is with their Lord and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah and give up what remains (due to you) from Riba (usury) (from now onward), if you are (really) believers.
O die ihr glaubt, fürchtet Allah und laßt das sein, was an Zins(geschäften) noch übrig ist, wenn ihr gläubig seid.
O ye who believe! Observe your duty to Allah, and give up what remaineth (due to you) from usury, if ye are (in truth) believers.
And if you do not do it, then take a notice of war from Allah and His Messenger but if you repent, you shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly (by asking more than your capital sums), and you shall not be dealt with unjustly (by receiving less than your capital sums).
Wenn ihr es aber nicht tut, dann laßt euch Krieg von Allah und Seinem Gesandten ansagen! Doch wenn ihr bereut, dann steht euch euer (ausgeliehenes) Grundvermögen zu; (so) tut weder ihr Unrecht, noch wird euch Unrecht zugefügt.
And if ye do not, then be warned of war (against you) from Allah and His messenger. And if ye repent, then ye have your principal (without interest). Wrong not, and ye shall not be wronged.
And if the debtor is in a hard time (has no money), then grant him time till it is easy for him to repay, but if you remit it by way of charity, that is better for you if you did but know.
Und wenn er (der Schuldner) in Schwierigkeiten ist, dann sei (ihm) Aufschub (gewährt,) bis eine Erleichterung (eintritt). Und daß ihr (es) als Almosen erlaßt, ist besser für euch, wenn ihr (es) nur wißt.
And if the debtor is in straitened circumstances, then (let there be) postponement to (the time of) ease; and that ye remit the debt as almsgiving would be better for you if ye did but know.
And be afraid of the Day when you shall be brought back to Allah. Then every person shall be paid what he earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
Und hütet euch vor einem Tag, an dem ihr zu Allah zurückgebracht werdet. Dann wird jeder Seele in vollem Maß zukommen, was sie verdient hat, und es wird ihnen kein Unrecht zugefügt.
And guard yourselves against a day in which ye will be brought back to Allah. Then every soul will be paid in full that which it hath earned, and they will not be wronged.
O you who believe! When you contract a debt for a fixed period, write it down. Let a scribe write it down in justice between you. Let not the scribe refuse to write as Allah has taught him, so let him write. Let him (the debtor) who incurs the liability dictate, and he must fear Allah, his Lord, and diminish not anything of what he owes. But if the debtor is of poor understanding, or weak, or is unable to dictate for himself, then let his guardian dictate in justice. And get two witnesses out of your own men. And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women, such as you agree for witnesses, so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her. And the witnesses should not refuse when they are called (for evidence). You should not become weary to write it (your contract), whether it be small or big, for its fixed term, that is more just with Allah; more solid as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves, save when it is a present trade which you carry out on the spot among yourselves, then there is no sin on you if you do not write it down. But take witnesses whenever you make a commercial contract. Let neither scribe nor witness suffer any harm, but if you do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you. So be afraid of Allah; and Allah teaches you. And Allah is the All-Knower of each and everything.
O die ihr glaubt, wenn ihr auf eine festgesetzte Frist, einer vom anderen, eine Geldschuld aufnehmt, dann schreibt es auf. Und ein Schreiber soll (es) für euch gerecht aufschreiben. Und kein Schreiber soll sich weigern zu schreiben, so wie Allah (es) ihn gelehrt hat. So soll er denn schreiben, und diktieren soll der Schuldner, und er soll Allah, seinen Herrn, fürchten und nichts davon schmälem. Wenn aber der Schuldner töricht oder schwach ist oder unfähig, selbst zu diktieren, so soll sein Sachwalter (es) gerecht diktieren. Und bringt zwei Männer von euch als Zeugen. Wenn es keine zwei Männer sein (können), dann sollen es ein Mann und zwei Frauen sein, mit denen als Zeugen ihr zufrieden seid, - damit, wenn eine von beiden sich irrt, eine die andere erinnere. Und die Zeugen sollen sich nicht weigern, wenn sie aufgefordert werden. Und seid nicht abgeneigt, es - (seien es) klein(e) oder groß(e Beträge) - mit seiner (vereinbarten) Frist aufzuschreiben! Das ist gerechter vor Allah und richtiger für das Zeugnis und eher geeignet, daß ihr nicht zweifelt; es sei denn, es ist ein sofortiger Handel, den ihr unter euch tätigt. Dann ist es keine Sünde für euch, wenn ihr es nicht aufschreibt. Und nehmt Zeugen, wenn ihr untereinander einen Verkauf abschließt. Und kein Schreiber oder Zeuge soll zu Schaden kommen. Wenn ihr (es) aber (dennoch) tut, so ist es ein Frevel von euch. Und fürchtet Allah! Und Allah lehrt euch. Allah weiß über alles Bescheid.
O ye who believe! When ye contract a debt for a fixed term, record it in writing. Let a scribe record it in writing between you in (terms of) equity. No scribe should refuse to write as Allah hath taught him, so let him write, and let him who incurreth the debt dictate, and let him observe his duty to Allah his Lord, and diminish naught thereof. But if he who oweth the debt is of low understanding, or weak, or unable himself to dictate, then let the guardian of his interests dictate in (terms of) equity. And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not (at hand) then a man and two women, of such as ye approve as witnesses, so that if the one erreth (through forgetfulness) the other will remember. And the witnesses must not refuse when they are summoned. Be not averse to writing down (the contract) whether it be small or great, with (record of) the term thereof. That is more equitable in the sight of Allah and more sure for testimony, and the best way of avoiding doubt b tween you; save only in the case when it is actual merchandise which ye transfer among yourselves from hand to hand. In that case it is no sin for you if ye write it not. And have witnesses when ye sell one to another, and let no harm be done to scribe or witness. If ye do (harm to them) lo! it is a sin in you. Observe your duty to Allah. Allah is teaching you. And Allah is knower of all things.
And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then let there be a pledge taken (mortgaging) ; then if one of you entrust the other, let the one who is entrusted discharge his trust (faithfully), and let him be afraid of Allah, his Lord. And conceal not the evidence for he, who hides it, surely his heart is sinful. And Allah is All-Knower of what you do.
Und wenn ihr auf einer Reise seid und keinen Schreiber findet, dann sollen Pfänder in Empfang genommen werden. Und wenn dann einer von euch dem anderen (etwas) anvertraut, so soll derjenige, dem (es) anvertraut wurde, das ihm anvertraute Pfand (wieder) aushändigen, und er soll Allah, seinen Herrn, fürchten. Und verheimlicht kein Zeugnis. Wer es aber verheimlicht, dessen Herz ist gewiß sündhaft. Und Allah weiß über das, was ihr tut, Bescheid.
If ye be on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a pledge in hand (shall suffice). And if one of you entrusteth to another let him who is trusted deliver up that which is entrusted to him (according to the pact between them) and let him observe his duty to Allah his Lord. Hide not testimony. He who hideth it, verily his heart is sinful. Allah is Aware of what ye do.
To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth, and whether you disclose what is in your ownselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it. Then He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things.
Allah gehört (alles), was in den Himmeln und was auf der Erde ist. Und ob ihr offenlegt, was in euch selbst ist, oder es verbergt, Allah wird euch dafür zur Rechenschaft ziehen. Dann vergibt Er, wem Er will, und straft, wen Er will. Und Allah hat zu allem die Macht.
Unto Allah (belongeth) whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; and whether ye make known what is in your minds or hide it, Allah will bring you to account for it. He will forgive whom He will and He will punish whom He will. Allah is Able to do all things.
The Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say), "We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers" - and they say, "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)."
Der Gesandte (Allahs) glaubt an das, was zu ihm von seinem Herrn (als Offenbarung) herabgesandt worden ist, und ebenso die Gläubigen; alle glauben an Allah, Seine Engel, Seine Bücher und Seine Gesandten - Wir machen keinen Unterschied bei jemandem von Seinen Gesandten. Und sie sagen: "Wir hören und gehorchen. (Gewähre uns) Deine Vergebung, unser Herr! Und zu Dir ist der Ausgang."
The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto him from his Lord and (so do) believers. Each one believeth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers - We make no distinction between any of His messengers - and they say: We hear, and we obey. (Grant us) Thy forgiveness, our Lord. Unto Thee is the journeying.
Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maula (Patron, Supporter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people. "
Allah erlegt keiner Seele mehr auf, als sie zu leisten vermag. Ihr kommt (nur) zu, was sie verdient hat, und angelastet wird ihr (nur), was sie verdient hat. "Unser Herr, belange uns nicht, wenn wir (etwas) vergessen oder einen Fehler begehen. Unser Herr, lege uns keine Bürde auf, wie Du sie denjenigen vor uns auferlegt hast. Unser Herr, bürde uns nichts auf, wozu wir keine Kraft haben. Verzeihe uns, vergib uns und erbarme Dich unser! Du bist unser Schutzherr. So verhilf uns zum Sieg über das ungläubige Volk!
Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.
