Chapter 43, 89 verses
Ha-Mim.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ha-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].
Ha, Meem.
Bei dem deutlichen Buch!
By the manifest Book (i.e. this Qur'an that makes things clear).
By the clear Book,
Wir haben es ja zu einem arabischen Qur'an gemacht, auf daß ihr begreifen möget;
Verily, We have made it a Qur'an in Arabic that you may be able to understand (its meanings and its admonitions).
Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand.
und gewiß, er ist in der Urschrift des Buches bei Uns wahrlich erhaben und weise.
And verily, it (this Qur'an) is in the Mother of the Book (i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz), with Us, indeed exalted, full of wisdom.
And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.
Sollen Wir denn euch bei der Ermahnung unbeachtet lassen, weil ihr maßlose Leute seid?
Shall We then (warn you not and) take away the Reminder (this Qur'an) from you, because you are a people Musrifun.
Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?
Und wie viele Propheten haben Wir zu den früheren Geschlechtern gesandt!
And how many a Prophet have We sent amongst the men of old.
And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples,
Und kein Gesandter kam zu ihnen, ohne daß sie sich über ihn lustig gemacht hätten.
And never came there a Prophet to them but they used to mock at him.
But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him.
So haben Wir solche vernichtet, die eine stärkere Gewalt hatten als diese. Und vollzogen hat sich das Beispiel an den Früheren.
Then We destroyed men stronger (in power) than these - and the example of the ancients has passed away (before them).
And We destroyed greater than them in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.
Und wenn du sie fragst, wer die Himmel und die Erde erschaffen hat, sagen sie ganz gewiß: "Erschaffen hat sie der Allmächtige und Allwissende,"
And indeed if you ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" They will surely say: "The All-Mighty, the All-Knower created them."
And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing."
Der euch die Erde zu einer Lagerstatt gemacht und euch auf ihr Wege gemacht hat, auf daß ihr rechtgeleitet werden möget,
Who has made for you the earth like a bed, and has made for you roads therein, in order that you may find your way.
[The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided
und Der Wasser vom Himmel in (bestimmtem) Maß herabkommen läßt. Damit lassen Wir (manch) totes Land auferstehen. So werdet auch ihr hervorgebracht werden -,
And Who sends down water (rain) from the sky in due measure, then We revive a dead land therewith, and even so you will be brought forth (from the graves).
And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth -
und Der die Paare alle erschaffen und euch an Schiffen und Vieh gemacht hat, was ihr besteigen könnt,
And Who has created all the pairs and has appointed for you ships and cattle on which you ride:
And who created the species, all of them, and has made for you of ships and animals those which you mount.
damit ihr euch auf ihren Rücken zurechtsetzt und hierauf der Gunst eures Herrn gedenkt, wenn ihr euch darauf zurechtgesetzt habt, und sagt: "Preis sei demjenigen, Der uns dies dienstbar gemacht hat! Wir wären hierzu ja nicht imstande gewesen.
In order that you may mount on their backs, and then may remember the Favour of your Lord when you mount thereon, and say: "Glory to Him Who has subjected this to us, and we could never have it (by our efforts).
That you may settle yourselves upon their backs and then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say. "Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it.
Und wir werden ganz gewiß zu unserem Herrn zurückkehren."
And verily, to Our Lord we indeed are to return!"
And indeed we, to our Lord, will [surely] return."
Und sie stellen Ihm einen Teil von Seinen Dienern (als Seinesgleichen zur Seite). Der Mensch ist ja offenkundig sehr undankbar.
Yet, they assign to some of His slaves a share with Him (by pretending that He has children, and considering them as equals or co-partners in worship with Him). Verily, man is indeed a manifest ingrate!
But they have attributed to Him from His servants a portion. Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful.
Oder hat Er sich etwa unter Seinen Geschöpfen Töchter genommen und für euch die Söhne erwählt?
Or has He taken daughters out of what He has created, and He has selected for you sons?
Or has He taken, out of what He has created, daughters and chosen you for [having] sons?
Wenn einem von ihnen die frohe Botschaft (von der Geburt) dessen verkündet wird, was er dem Allerbarmer zum Gleichnis zuschreibt, bleibt sein Gesicht finster, und er hält (seinen Grimm) zurück.
And if one of them is of the news of (the birth of a girl) that which he sets forth as a parable to the Most Gracious (Allah), his face becomes dark, and he is filled with grief!
And when one of them is given good tidings of that which he attributes to the Most Merciful in comparison, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.
(Wollen sie Allah) denn jemanden (zuschreiben), der im Schmuck aufgezogen wird und im Streit nicht deutlich wird?
(Like they then for Allah) a creature who is brought up in adornments (wearing silk and gold ornaments, i.e. women), and who in dispute cannot make herself clear?
So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident [attributed to Allah]?
Und sie machen die Engel, die sie ja Diener des Allerbarmers sind, zu weiblichen Wesen. Waren sie denn Zeugen ihrer Erschaffung? Ihr Zeugnis wird aufgeschrieben, und sie werden befragt werden.
And they make the angels who themselves are slaves of the Most Gracious (Allah) females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned!
And they have made the angels, who are servants of the Most Merciful, females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned.
Und sie sagen: "Wenn der Allerbarmer gewollt hätte, hätten wir ihnen nicht gedient." Sie haben kein Wissen davon; sie stellen nur Schätzungen an.
And they said: "If it had been the Will of the Most Gracious (Allah), we should not have worshipped them (false deities)." They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They do nothing but lie!
And they said, "If the Most Merciful had willed, we would not have worshipped them." They have of that no knowledge. They are not but falsifying.
Oder haben Wir ihnen etwa vor ihm eine Schrift gegeben, an der sie sich festhalten könnten?
Or have We given them any Book before this (the Qur'an) to which they are holding fast?
Or have We given them a book before the Qur'an to which they are adhering?
Nein! Vielmehr sagen sie: "Wir haben ja (bereits) unsere Väter in einer (bestimmten) Glaubensrichtung vorgefunden, und auf ihren Spuren sind wir rechtgeleitet."
Nay! They say: "We found our fathers following a certain way and religion, and we guide ourselves by their footsteps."
Rather, they say, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are in their footsteps [rightly] guided."
So haben Wir (auch) vor dir in eine Stadt keinen Warner gesandt, ohne daß diejenigen, die in ihr üppig lebten, gesagt hätten: "Wir haben ja (bereits) unsere Väter in einer bestimmten Glaubensrichtung vorgefunden, und auf ihren Spuren folgen wir ihrem Vorbild."
And similarly, We sent not a warner before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) to any town (people) but the luxurious ones among them said: "We found our fathers following a certain way and religion, and we will indeed follow their footsteps."
And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that its affluent said, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following."
Er sagte: "Etwa auch, wenn ich euch bringe, was eine bessere Rechtleitung enthält als das, worin ihr eure Väter vorgefunden habt?" Sie sagten: "Wir verleugnen ja das, womit ihr gesandt worden seid."
(The warner) said: "Even if I bring you better guidance than that which you found your fathers following?" They said: "Verily, we disbelieve in that with which you have been sent."
[Each warner] said, "Even if I brought you better guidance than that [religion] upon which you found your fathers?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are disbelievers."
Da übten Wir an ihnen Vergeltung. So schau, wie das Ende der Leugner war.
So We took revenge on them, then see what was the end of those who denied (Islamic Monotheism).
So we took retribution from them; then see how was the end of the deniers.
Und als Ibrahim zu seinem Vater und seinem Volk sagte: "Gewiß, ich sage mich los von dem, dem ihr dient,
And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said to his father and his people: "Verily, I am innocent of what you worship,
And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said to his father and his people, "Indeed, I am disassociated from that which you worship
außer Demjenigen, Der mich erschaffen hat; denn Er wird mich gewiß rechtleiten."
"Except Him (i.e. I worship none but Allah Alone) Who did create me; and verily He will guide me."
Except for He who created me; and indeed, He will guide me."
Und er machte es zu einem bleibenden Wort unter seinen Nachkommen, auf daß sie umkehren mögen.
And he made it [i.e. La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone)] a Word lasting among his offspring, (True Monotheism), that they may turn back (i.e. to repent to Allah or receive admonition).
And he made it a word remaining among his descendants that they might return [to it].
Aber nein! Ich habe diese da und ihre Väter genießen lassen, bis die Wahrheit und ein deutlicher Gesandter zu ihnen gekommen ist.
Nay, but I gave (the good things of this life) to these (polytheists) and their fathers to enjoy, till there came to them the truth (the Qur'an), and a Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) making things clear.
However, I gave enjoyment to these [people of Makkah] and their fathers until there came to them the truth and a clear Messenger.
Als nun die Wahrheit zu ihnen gekommen ist, sagen sie: "Das ist Zauberei, und wir verleugnen ihn."
And when the truth (this Qur'an) came to them, they (the disbelievers in this Qur'an) said: "This is magic, and we disbelieve therein."
But when the truth came to them, they said, "This is magic, and indeed we are, concerning it, disbelievers."
Und sie sagen: "Wäre doch dieser Qur'an einem bedeutenden Mann aus den beiden Städten offenbart worden!"
And they say: "Why is not this Qur'an sent down to some great man of the two towns (Makkah and Ta'if)?"
And they said, "Why was this Qur'an not sent down upon a great man from [one of] the two cities?"
Verteilen etwa sie die Barmherzigkeit deines Herrn? Wir verteilen doch unter ihnen ihren Lebensunterhalt im diesseitigen Leben und erhöhen die einen von ihnen über die anderen um Rangstufen, damit die einen von ihnen die anderen in Dienst nehmen. Aber die Barmherzigkeit deines Herrn ist besser als das, was sie zusammentragen.
Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of your Lord? It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in this world, and We raised some of them above others in ranks, so that some may employ others in their work. But the Mercy (Paradise) of your Lord (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) is better than the (wealth of this world) which they amass.
Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees [of rank] that they may make use of one another for service. But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate.
Und damit die Menschen nicht eine einzige Gemeinschaft werden (, sahen Wir davon ab, sonst), hätten Wir wahrlich denjenigen, die den Allerbarmer verleugnen, für ihre Häuser Decken aus Silber gemacht und (auch) Treppen, auf denen sie hätten hochsteigen können,
And were it not that mankind would have become of one community (all disbelievers, desiring worldly life only), We would have provided for those who disbelieve in the Most Gracious (Allah), silver roofs for their houses, and elevators whereby they ascend,
And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers], We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful - for their houses - ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount
und Türen für ihre Häuser, und Liegen, auf denen sie sich lehnen können,
And for their houses, doors (of silver), and thrones (of silver) on which they could recline,
And for their houses - doors and couches [of silver] upon which to recline
und (weitere) Zierde. All das ist aber nur Nießbrauch des diesseitigen Lebens. Das Jenseits bei deinem Herrn ist jedoch für die Gottesfürchtigen (bestimmt).
And adornments of gold. Yet all this (i.e. the roofs, doors, stairs, elevators, thrones of their houses) would have been nothing but an enjoyment of this world. And the Hereafter with your Lord is (only) for the Muttaqun.
And gold ornament. But all that is not but the enjoyment of worldly life. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous.
Wer für die Ermahnung des Allerbarmers blind ist, dem verschaffen Wir einen Satan, der ihm dann zum Gesellen wird.
And whosoever turns away blindly from the remembrance of the Most Gracious (Allah) (i.e. this Qur'an and worship of Allah), We appoint for him Shaitan (Satan - devil) to be a Qarin (a companion) to him.
And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful - We appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion.
Und sie halten sie wahrlich vom Weg ab, und diese meinen, sie seien rechtgeleitet.
And verily, they (Satans / devils) hinder them from the Path (of Allah), but they think that they are guided aright!
And indeed, the devils avert them from the way [of guidance] while they think that they are [rightly] guided
Wenn er dann (schließlich) zu Uns kommt, sagt er: "O wäre doch zwischen mir und dir eine Entfernung wie zwischen Osten und Westen !" - ein schlimmer Geselle!
Till, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says [to his Qarin (Satan / devil companion)] "Would that between me and you were the distance of the two easts (or the east and west)" - a worst (type of) companion (indeed)!
Until, when he comes to Us [at Judgement], he says [to his companion], "Oh, I wish there was between me and you the distance between the east and west - how wretched a companion."
Heute wird euch, da ihr Unrecht getan habt, nicht nützen, daß ihr an demselben) Strafe teilhabt.
It will profit you not this Day (O you who turn away from Allah's remembrance and His worship) as you did wrong, (and) that you will be sharers (you and your Qarin ) in the punishment.
And never will it benefit you that Day, when you have wronged, that you are [all] sharing in the punishment.
Bist du es etwa, der die Tauben hören läßt oder die Blinden und diejenigen recht leitet, die sich in deutlichem Irrtum befinden?
Can you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) make the deaf to hear, or can you guide the blind or him who is in manifest error?
Then will you make the deaf hear, [O Muhammad], or guide the blind or he who is in clear error?
Sollten Wir dich (vorher) fortnehmen, so werden Wir (doch) an ihnen Vergeltung üben.
And even if We take you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) away, We shall indeed take vengeance on them.
And whether [or not] We take you away [in death], indeed, We will take retribution upon them.
Oder Wir zeigen dir, was Wir ihnen angedroht haben; so haben Wir ja ganz die Macht über sie.
Or (if) We show you that wherewith We threaten them: then verily We have perfect command over them.
Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability.
Halte also fest an dem, was dir (als Offenbarung) eingegeben worden ist; gewiß, du befindest dich auf einem geraden Weg.
So hold you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) fast to that which is revealed to you. Verily you are on the Straight Path.
So adhere to that which is revealed to you. Indeed, you are on a straight path.
Das ist wahrlich eine Ermahnung für dich und dein Volk. Und ihr werdet befragt werden.
And verily this (the Qur'an) is indeed a Reminder for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) and your people (Quraish people, or your followers), and you will be questioned (about it).
And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned.
Und frage wen von Unseren Gesandten Wir vor dir gesandt haben, ob Wir anstatt des Allerbarmers (andere) Götter eingesetzt haben, denen man dienen soll.
And ask (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) those of Our Messengers whom We sent before you: "Did We ever appoint alihah (gods) to be worshipped besides the Most Gracious (Allah)?"
And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped?
Und Wir sandten bereits Musa mit Unseren Zeichen zu Fir'aun und seiner führenden Schar. Er sagte: "Gewiß, ich bin der Gesandte des Herrn der Weltenbewohner."
And indeed We did send Musa (Moses) with Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs (inviting them to Allah's religion of Islam) He said: "Verily, I am a Messenger of the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)."
And certainly did We send Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, and he said, "Indeed, I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds."
Als er nun zu ihnen mit Unseren Zeichen kam, lachten sie sogleich über sie.
But when he came to them with Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations) behold, they laughed at them.
But when he brought them Our signs, at once they laughed at them.
Und Wir zeigten ihnen kein Zeichen, das nicht größer gewesen wäre als das vorhergehende. Und Wir ergriffen sie mit der Strafe, auf daß sie umkehren mochten.
And not an Ayah (sign, etc.) We showed them but it was greater than its fellow , and We seized them with torment, in order that they might turn [from their polytheism to Allah's religion (Islamic Monotheism)].
And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister, and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith].
Und sie sagten: "O du Zauberer, rufe für uns deinen Herrn an auf Grund dessen, was Er dir anvertraut hat, dann werden wir uns wahrlich rechtleiten lassen."
And they said [to Musa (Moses)]: "O you sorcerer! Invoke your Lord for us according to what He has covenanted with you. Verily, We shall guide ourselves (aright)."
And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided."
Als Wir dann die Strafe von ihnen hinwegnahmen, da brachen sie sogleich ihr Wort.
But when We removed the torment from them, behold, they broke their covenant (that they will believe if We remove the torment from them).
But when We removed from them the affliction, at once they broke their word.
Und Fir'aun ließ unter seinem Volk ausrufen; er sagte: "O mein Volk, gehört mir nicht die Herrschaft über Ägypten und (auch) diese Flüsse, die unter mir strömen? Wollt ihr denn nicht einsichtig sein?
And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) proclaimed among his people (saying): "O my people! Is not mine the dominion of Egypt, and these rivers flowing underneath me. See you not then?
And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath me; then do you not see?
Oder bin ich nicht besser als dieser, der verächtlich ist und sich kaum deutlich äußern kann?
"Am I not better than this one [Musa (Moses)] who is despicable and can scarcely express himself clearly?
Or am I [not] better than this one who is insignificant and hardly makes himself clear?
Würden doch Armringe aus Gold auf ihn herabgeworfen oder die Engel mit ihm als Begleitung kommen!"
"Why then are not golden bracelets bestowed on him, or angels sent along with him?"
Then why have there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels in conjunction?"
Er fand sein Volk leicht (zu beeinflussen), und da gehorchten sie ihm. Gewiß, sie waren ein Volk von Frevlern.
Thus he [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] befooled (and misled) his people, and they obeyed him. Verily, they were ever a people who were Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
So he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of Allah].
Als sie Uns Kummer bereiteten, übten Wir an ihnen Vergeltung, und so ließen Wir sie allesamt ertrinken.
So when they angered Us, We punished them, and drowned them all.
And when they angered Us, We took retribution from them and drowned them all.
Wir machten sie zu Vorgängern und zu einem Beispiel für die späteren (Geschlechter).
And We made them a precedent (as a lesson for those coming after them), and an example to later generations.
And We made them a precedent and an example for the later peoples.
Und als der Sohn Maryams als Beispiel angeführt wurde, da brach dein Volk sogleich in Geschrei aus.
And when the son of Maryam (Mary) is quoted as an example [i.e. 'Îsa (Jesus) is worshipped like their idols], behold, your people cry aloud (laugh out at the example).
And when the son of Mary was presented as an example, immediately your people laughed aloud.
Und sie sagten: "Sind unsere Götter besser oder er?" Sie führten ihn dir nur zum Streiten an. Nein! Vielmehr sind sie streitsüchtige Leute.
And say: "Are our alihah (gods) better or is he ['Îsa (Jesus)]?" They quoted not the above example except for argument. Nay! But they are a quarrelsome people. (See V. 21:98-101)
And they said, "Are your gods better, or is he?" They did not present the comparison except for [mere] argument. But, [in fact], they are a people prone to dispute.
Er ist nur ein Diener, dem Wir Gunst erwiesen und den Wir zu einem Beispiel für die Kinder Isra'ils gemacht haben.
He ['Îsa (Jesus)] was not more than a slave. We granted Our Favour to him, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel (i.e. his creation without a father).
Jesus was not but a servant upon whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel.
Und wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir euch wahrlich zu Engeln machen, die zu Statthaltern auf der Erde würden.
And if it were Our Will, We would have [destroyed you (mankind) all, and] made angels to replace you on the earth. [Tafsir At-Tabari].
And if We willed, We could have made [instead] of you angels succeeding [one another] on the earth.
Und er ist wahrlich Wissen von der Stunde (des Gerichts)'. So hegt ja keinen Zweifel an ihr und folgt mir. Das ist ein gerader Weg.
And he ['Îsa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)] shall be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour (Day of Resurrection) [i.e. 'Isa's (Jesus) descent on the earth]. Therefore have no doubt concerning it (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). And follow Me (Allah) (i.e. be obedient to Allah and do what He orders you to do, O mankind)! This is the Straight Path (of Islamic Monotheism, leading to Allah and to His Paradise).
And indeed, Jesus will be [a sign for] knowledge of the Hour, so be not in doubt of it, and follow Me. This is a straight path.
Und der Satan soll euch ja nicht abhalten. Gewiß, er ist euch ein deutlicher Feind.

And never let Satan avert you. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.
Und als 'Isa mit den klaren Beweisen kam, sagte er: "Ich komme ja zu euch mit der Weisheit, und um euch einiges von dem klarzumachen, worüber ihr uneinig seid. So fürchtet Allah und gehorcht mir.

Doch wurden die Gruppierungen untereinander uneinig; so wehe denjenigen, die Unrecht tun, vor der Strafe eines schmerzhaften Tages!
But the sects from among themselves differed. So woe to those who do wrong [by ascribing things to 'Îsa (Jesus) that are not true] from the torment of a painful Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)!
But the denominations from among them differed [and separated], so woe to those who have wronged from the punishment of a painful Day.
Erwarten sie nur die Stunde, daß sie plötzlich über sie kommt, ohne daß sie merken?
Do they only wait for the Hour that it shall come upon them suddenly, while they perceive not?
Are they waiting except for the Hour to come upon them suddenly while they perceive not?
Die Freunde werden an jenem Tag einer des anderen Feind sein, außer den Gottesfürchtigen.

(ihr,) die ihr an Unsere Zeichen glaubtet und (Allah) ergeben wart.

Sag: Wenn der Allerbarmer Kinder hätte, wäre ich der erste derjenigen, die (ihnen) dienen.

Say, [O Muhammad], "If the Most Merciful had a son, then I would be the first of [his] worshippers."

And blessed is He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them and with whom is knowledge of the Hour and to whom you will be returned.
Und diejenigen, die sie anstatt Seiner anrufen, verfügen nicht über die Fürsprache, außer wer der Wahrheit entsprechend bezeugt, und sie wissen (es).
And those whom they invoke instead of Him have no power of intercession - except for those who bear witness to the truth knowingly (i.e. believed in the Oneness of Allah, and obeyed His Orders), and they know (the facts about the Oneness of Allah).

Wenn du sie fragst, wer sie erschaffen hat, sagen sie ganz gewiß: "Allah". Wie lassen sie sich also abwendig machen?
And if you ask them who created them, they will surely say: "Allah." How then are they turned away (from the worship of Allah, Who created them)?
And if you asked them who created them, they would surely say, "Allah." So how are they deluded?
Und bei seinem Ausspruch: "O mein Herr, gewiß, das sind Leute, die nicht glauben."
(And Allah has the knowledge) of (Prophet Muhammad's) saying: "O my Lord! Verily, these are a people who believe not!"
And [Allah acknowledges] his saying, "O my Lord, indeed these are a people who do not believe."
Übe Nachsicht mit ihnen und sag: "Friede!" Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
So turn away from them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), and say: Salam (peace)! But they will come to know.
So turn aside from them and say, "Peace." But they are going to know.
