Chapter 91, 15 verses
Bei der Sonne und ihrer Morgenhelle
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the sun and its brightness.
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the sun and his brightness,
und dem Mond, wenn er ihr folgt,
By the moon as it follows it (the sun).
And the moon when she followeth him,
und dem Tag, wenn er sie erscheinen läßt,
By the day as it shows up (the sun's) brightness.
And the day when it revealeth him,
und der Nacht, wenn sie sie überdeckt,
By the night as it conceals it (the sun).
And the night when it enshroudeth him,
und dem Himmel und Dem, Der ihn aufgebaut hat,
By the heaven and Him Who built it.
And the heaven and Him Who built it,
und der Erde und Dem, Der sie ausgebreitet hat,
By the earth and Him Who spread it.
And the earth and Him Who spread it,
und einer (jeden) Seele und Dem, Der sie zurechtgeformt hat
By Nafs (Adam or a person or a soul), and Him Who perfected him in proportion;
And a soul and Him Who perfected it
und ihr dann ihre Sittenlosigkeit und ihre Gottesfurcht eingegeben hat!
Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him.
And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
Wohl ergehen wird es ja jemandem, der sie läutert,
Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself (i.e. obeys and performs all that Allah ordered, by following the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds).
He is indeed who causeth it to grow,
und enttäuscht sein wird ja, wer sie verkümmern läßt.
And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e. disobeys what Allah has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds).
And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.
Die Tamud erklärten in ihrer Auflehnung (die Botschaft) für Lüge,
Thamud (people) denied (their Prophet) through their transgression (by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism, and by following polytheism, and by committing every kind of sin).
(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,
als der Unseligste von ihnen sich erhob.
When the most wicked man among them went forth (to kill the she-camel).
When the basest of them broke forth
Allahs Gesandter sagte zu ihnen: "(Achtet auf) Allahs Kamelstute und ihre Trinkzeit."
But the Messenger of Allah [Salih عليه السلام] said to them: "Be cautious! (Fear the evil end). That is the she-camel of Allah! (Do not harm it) and bar it not from having its drink!"
And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she - camel of Allah, so let her drink!
Sie aber bezichtigten ihn der Lüge, und so schnitten sie ihr die Sehnen durch. Da schmetterte ihr Herr sie für ihre Sünde nieder, und so ebnete Er über ihnen die Erde ein.
Then they denied him and they killed it. So their Lord destroyed them because of their sin, and made them equal in destruction (i.e. all grades of people, rich and poor, strong and weak, etc.)!
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
Und Er (Allah) fürchtet nicht die Folge davon.
And He (Allah) feared not the consequences thereof.
He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
