Chapter 86, 17 verses
Beim Himmel und dem Pochenden!
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the heaven and the Morning Star
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was der Pochende ist?
- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
(Es ist) der durchbohrend helle Stem.
- The piercing Star!

No human soul but hath a guardian over it.
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
So soll der Mensch doch hinsehen, woraus er erschaffen ist.
So let man consider from what he is created.
So let man consider of what he is created:
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Er ist aus sich ergießendem Wasser erschaffen,
He is created from a gushing fluid
He is created of water pouring forth,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
das zwischen der Lende und der (weiblichen) Brust hervorkommt.
That issued from between the loins and ribs.
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Er hat die Macht dazu, ihn zurückkehren zu lassen,
Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
am Tag, da die geheimsten Gedanken geprüft werden.
On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Beim Himmel mit der Wiederkehr
By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
und der Erde mit ihren Sprüngen!
And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)

وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Er ist wahrlich ein entscheidendes Wort;

er ist kein Scherz.

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Sie wenden eine List an,
Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
Surely they will make a scheme,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Und Ich wende eine List an.
And I plot a plot (against them).
And I (too) will make a scheme.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
So lasse den Ungläubigen noch Zeit; lasse ihnen nur eine Weile Zeit.
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
