Chapter 93, 11 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the forenoon (after sunrise).
Bei der Morgenhelle
I swear by the early hours of the day,
By the night when it darkens (and stand still).
und der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) umhüllt!
And the night when it covers with darkness.
Your Lord (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has neither forsaken you nor hates you.
Dein Herr hat sich weder von dir verabschiedet noch haßt Er (dich).
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).
Und das Jenseits ist wahrlich besser für dich als das Diesseits.
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
And verily, your Lord will give you (all good) so that you shall be well-pleased.
Und dein Herr wird dir wahrlich geben, und dann wirst du zufrieden sein.
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
Did He not find you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) an orphan and gave you a refuge?
Hat Er dich nicht als Waise gefunden und (dir) dann Zuflucht verschafft
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
And He found you unaware (of the Qur'an, its laws, and Prophethood) and guided you?
und dich irregehend gefunden und dann rechtgeleitet
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
And He found you poor and made you rich (self-sufficient with self-contentment)?
und dich arm gefunden und dann reich gemacht?
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression.
Was nun die Waise angeht, so unterjoche (sie) nicht,
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
And repulse not the beggar.
und was den Bettler angeht, so fahre (ihn) nicht an,
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces).
und was die Gunst deines Herrn angeht, so erzähle (davon).
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
