Und ihr werdet ganz gewiß erfahren, wer von uns strenger im Strafen und beständiger ist."
(Pharaoh) said: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this must be your leader, who has taught you magic! be sure I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will have you crucified on trunks of palm - trees: so shall ye know for certain, which of us can give the more severe and the more lasting punishment!"
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Believe you in him [Musa (Moses)] before I give you permission? Verily he is your chief who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you on the trunks of date-palms, and you shall surely know which of us [I (Fir'aun - Pharaoh) or the Lord of Musa (Moses) (Allah)] can give the severe and more lasting torment."
Sie sagten: "Wir werden dich nicht dem vorziehen, was an klaren Beweisen zu uns gekommen ist, und (vor) Demjenigen, Der uns erschaffen hat. So entscheide, was du entscheiden magst; du entscheidest nur über dieses irdische Leben.
They said: "Never shall we regard thee as more than the Clear Signs that have come to us, or than Him Who created us! so decree whatever thou desirest to decree: for thou canst only decree (touching) the life of this world.
They said: "We prefer you not over what have come to us of the clear signs and to Him (Allah) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world.
Wir glauben an unseren Herrn, damit Er uns unsere Verfehlungen vergebe und (auch) die Zauberei, zu der du uns gezwungen hast. Allah ist besser und be ständiger."
"For us, we have believed in our Lord: may He forgive us our faults, and the magic to which thou didst compel us: for Allah is Best and Most Abiding."
"Verily we have believed in our Lord, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us. And Allah is better as regards reward in comparison to your [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)] reward, and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment)."
Gewiß, wer zu seinem Herrn als Übeltäter kommt, für den gibt es die Hölle; darin wird er weder sterben noch leben.
Verily he who comes to his Lord as a sinner (at Judgment), - for him is Hell: therein shall he neither die nor live.

So Moses returned to his people in a state of indignation and sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not your Lord make a handsome promise to you? Did then the promise seem to you long (in coming)? Or did ye desire that Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, and so ye broke your promise to me?"
Then Musa (Moses) returned to his people in a state of anger and sorrow. He said: "O my people! Did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? Did then the promise seem to you long in coming?

Sie sagten: "Wir haben die Vereinbarung mit dir nicht aus unserem (eigenen) Willen gebrochen, sondern wir trugen (ganze) Lasten von den Schmucksachen des Volkes, und dann haben wir sie geworfen, und ebenso hat der Samiri (welche) hineingelegt.
They said: "We broke not the promise to thee, as far as lay in our power: but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the (whole) people, and we threw them (into the fire), and that was what the Samiri suggested.

So brachte er ihnen ein Kalb hervor als Leib, das blökte. Sie sagten: ,Das ist euer Gott und der Gott Musas, aber er hat (es) vergessen'."
"Then he brought out (of the fire) before the (people) the image of a calf: It seemed to low: so they said: This is your god, and the god of Moses, but (Moses) has forgotten!"
Then he took out (of the fire) for them (a statue of) a calf which seemed to low. They said: "This is your ilah (god), and the ilah (god) of Musa (Moses), but he [Musa (Moses)] has forgotten (his god).'"
Sehen sie denn nicht, daß er ihnen kein Wort erwidert und ihnen weder Schaden noch Nutzen zu bringen vermag?
Could they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good?
Did they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good?
Harun hatte ihnen ja bereits zuvor gesagt: "O mein Volk, ihr seid damit nur der Versuchung ausgesetzt worden. Gewiß, euer Herr ist der Allerbarmer; so folgt mir und gehorcht meinem Befehl."
Aaron had already, before this said to them: "O my people! ye are being tested in this: for verily your Lord is (Allah) Most Gracious; so follow me and obey my command."
And Harun (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: "O my people! You are being tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allah) the Most Gracious, so follow me and obey my order."
Sie sagten: "Wir werden nicht davon ablassen, uns seiner Andacht hinzugeben, bis Musa zu uns zurückkehrt."
They had said: "We will not abandon this cult, but we will devote ourselves to it until Moses returns to us."
They said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Musa (Moses) returns to us."
Er (Musa) sagte: "O Harun, was hat dich, als du sie irregehen sahst, davon abgehalten,
(Moses) said: "O Aaron! what kept thee back, when thou sawest them going wrong,
[Musa (Moses)] said: "O Harun (Aaron)! What prevented you when you saw them going astray;
mir zu folgen? Hast du dich denn meinem Befehl widersetzt? "
"From following me? Didst thou then disobey my order?"
"That you followed me not (according to my advice to you)? Have you then disobeyed my order?"
Er sagte: "O Sohn meiner Mutter, pack mich nicht am Bart und nicht am Kopf. Ich fürchtete, du würdest sagen: ,Du hast unter den Kindern Isra'ils Zwietracht gestiftet und mein Wort nicht beachtet'."
(Aaron) replied: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard nor by (the hair of) my head! Truly I feared lest thou shouldst say, 'Thou has caused a division among the children of Israel, and thou didst not respect my word!'"
He [Harun (Aaron)] said: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head! Verily, I feared lest you should say: 'You have caused a division among the Children of Israel, and you have not respected my word!' "
Er sagte: "Doch was ist mit dir, o Samiri?"
(Moses) said: "What then is thy case, O Samiri?"
[Musa (Moses)] said: "And what is the matter with you. O Samiri? (i.e. why did you do so?)"
Er sagte: "Ich gewahrte, was sie nicht gewahrten, und so faßte ich eine Handvoll (Erde) von der Spur des Gesandten und warf sie dann hin (ins Feuer). So habe ich es mir selbst eingeredet."
He replied: "I saw what they saw not: so I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint of the Messenger, and threw it (into the calf): thus did my soul suggest to me."
(Samiri) said: "I saw what they saw not, so I took a handful (of dust) from the (hoof) print of the messenger [Jibril's (Gabriel) horse] and threw it [into the fire in which were put the ornaments of Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, or into the calf]. Thus my inner-self suggested to me."
Er sagte: "Geh weg! Es ist dir im Leben beschieden, zu sagen: .Berührt mich nicht! Und du hast eine Verabredung, die dir nicht gebrochen wird. Und schau auf deinen Gott, dessen Andacht du dich dauernd hingegeben hast. Wir werden ihn ganz gewiß verbrennen, und hierauf werden wir ihn ganz gewiß in das große Gewässer streuen.
(Moses) said: "Get thee gone! but thy (punishment) in this life will be that thou wilt say, 'touch me not'; and moreover (for a future penalty) thou hast a promise that will not fail: Now look at thy god, of whom thou hast become a devoted worshipper: We will certainly (melt) it in a blazing fire and scatter it broadcast in the sea!"
Musa (Moses) said: "Then go away! And verily, your (punishment) in this life will be that you will say: "Touch me not (i.e. you will live alone exiled away from mankind); and verily (for a future torment), you have a promise that will not fail. And look at your ilah (god) to which you have been devoted. We will certainly burn it, and scatter its particles in the sea."
Euer Gott ist allein Allah, außer Dem es keinen Gott gibt. Er umfaßt alles mit (Seinem) Wissen."
But the god of you all is the One Allah: there is no god but He: all things He comprehends in His knowledge.
Your Ilah (God) is only Allah, (the One) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). He has full knowledge of all things.
Auf diese Weise erzählen Wir dir (einiges) von den Berichten dessen, was früher geschah. Und Wir haben dir ja von Uns aus eine Ermahnung gegeben.
Thus do We relate to thee some stories of what happened before: for We have sent thee a Message from Our own Presence.
Thus We relate to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) some information of what happened before. And indeed We have given you from Us a Reminder (this Qur'an).
Wer sich davon abwendet, der wird am Tag der Auferstehung eine (drückende) Last tragen,
If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment;
Whoever turns away from it (this Qur'an - i.e. does not believe in it, nor acts on its orders), verily, they will bear a heavy burden (of sins) on the Day of Resurrection,
ewig darin zu bleiben. Wie böse wird (dies) für sie am Tag der Auferstehung als Last sein!
They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day, -
They will abide in that (state in the Fire of Hell) - and evil indeed will it be that load for them on the Day of Resurrection;
Am Tag, da ins Horn geblasen wird und Wir die Übeltäter als Leute mit blauen Augen versammeln.
The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear - eyed (with terror).
The Day when the Trumpet will be blown (the second blowing): that Day, We shall gather the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) blue or blind-eyed with thirst.
Sie flüstern einander zu: "Ihr habt nur zehn (Nächte) verweilt."
In whispers will they consult each other: "Yet tarried not longer than ten (Days);
They will speak in a very low voice to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)."
Wir wissen sehr wohl, was sie sagen, wenn der Vorbildlichste von ihnen in seinem Verhalten sagen wird: "Ihr habt nur einen Tag verweilt."
We know best what they will say, when their leader most eminent in conduct will say: "Ye tarried not longer than a day!"
We know very well what they will say, when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say: "You stayed no longer than a day!"
Sie fragen dich nach den Bergen. Sag: Mein Herr wird sie wie Staub zerstreuen
They ask thee concerning the Mountains: say, "My Lord will uproot them and scatter them as dust;
And they ask you concerning the mountains: say, "My Lord will blast them and scatter them as particles of dust.
und sie dann als leere Ebene zurücklassen,
"He will leave them as plains smooth and level;
"Then He shall leave them as a level smooth plain.
worauf du weder eine Vertiefung noch Erhebung siehst.
"Nothing crooked or curved wilt thou see in their place."
"You will see therein nothing crooked or curved."
An jenem Tag folgen sie dem Rufer, bei dem es nichts Krummes gibt; die Stimmen senken sich in Demut vor dem Allerbarmer, so daß du nichts hörst außer Flüstern.
On that Day will they follow the Caller (straight): no crookedness (can they show) him: all sounds shall humble themselves in the Presence of (Allah) Most Gracious: nothing shalt thou hear but the tramp of their feet (as they march).
On that Day mankind will follow strictly (the voice of) Allah's caller, no crookedness (that is without going to the right or left of that voice) will they show him (Allah's caller). And all voices will be humbled for the Most Gracious (Allah), and nothing shall you hear but the low voice of their footsteps.
An jenem Tag nützt die Fürsprache nicht, außer durch denjenigen, dem es der Allerbarmer erlaubt und mit dessen Worten Er zufrieden ist.
On that Day shall no intercession avail except for those for whom permission has been granted by (Allah) Most Gracious and whose word is acceptable to Him.
On that day no intercession shall avail, except the one for whom the Most Gracious (Allah) has given permission and whose word is acceptable to Him.
Er weiß, was vor ihnen und was hinter ihnen liegt, sie aber umfassen es nicht mit (ihrem) Wissen.
He knows what (appears to His creatures as) before or after or behind them: but they shall not compass it with their knowledge.
He (Allah) knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them (in the Hereafter) but they will never compass anything of His Knowledge.
Demütig werden sich die Gesichter vor dem Lebendigen und Beständigen senken. Und wirklich enttäuscht wird, wer (als Last begangenes) Unrecht trägt.
(All) faces shall be humbled before (Him) - the Living, the Self - Subsisting, Eternal: hopeless indeed will be the man that carries iniquity (on his back).
And (all) faces shall be humbled before (Allah), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists). And he who carried (a burden of) wrongdoing (i.e. he who disbelieved in Allah, ascribed partners to Him, and did deeds of His disobedience), will be indeed a complete failure (on that Day).
Wer aber etwas an rechtschaffenen Werken tut und dabei gläubig ist, der wird kein Unrecht und keine (Lohn)minderung befürchten.
But he who works deeds of righteousness, and has faith, will have no fear of harm nor of any curtailment (of what is his due).
And he who works deeds of righteousness, while he is a believer (in Islamic Monotheism), then he will have no fear of injustice, nor of any curtailment (of his reward).
Und so haben Wir ihn als einen arabischen Qur'an hinabgesandt. Und Wir haben darin verschiedene Androhungen dargelegt, auf daß sie gottesfürchtig werden mögen oder er bei ihnen Gedenken (Allahs) hervorrufe.
Thus have We sent this down - an arabic Qur'an - and explained therein in detail some of the warnings, in order that they may fear Allah, or that it may cause their remembrance (of Him).
And thus We have sent it down as a Qur'an in Arabic, and have explained therein in detail the warnings, in order that they may fear Allah, or that it may cause them to have a lesson from it (or to have the honour for believing and acting on its teachings).
Erhaben ist Allah, der König, der Wahre! Und übereile dich nicht mit dem Qur'an, bevor dir seine Offenbarung vollständig eingegeben worden ist. Und sag: Mein Herr, lasse mich an Wissen zunehmen.
High above all is Allah, the King, the Truth! Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to thee is completed, but say, "O my Lord! advance me in knowledge."
Then High above all be Allah, the True King. And be not in haste (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with the Qur'an before its revelation is completed to you, and say: "My Lord! Increase me in knowledge."
Und Wir hatten bereits zuvor Adam eine Verpflichtung auferlegt. Aber er vergaß (sie), und Wir fanden bei ihm keine Entschlossenheit.
We had already, beforehand, taken the covenant of Adam, but he forgot: and We found on his part no firm resolve.
And indeed We made a covenant with Adam before, but he forgot, and We found on his part no firm will-power.
Und als Wir zu den Engeln sagten: "Werft euch vor Adam nieder." Da warfen sie sich nieder, außer Iblis. Er weigerte sich.
When We said to the angels, "Prostrate yourselves to Adam", they prostrated themselves, but not Iblis: he refused.
And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves to Adam." They prostrated themselves (all) except Iblis (Satan) he refused.
Da sagten Wir: "O Adam, dieser (da) ist dir und deiner Gattin gewiß ein Feind. Daß er euch beide ja nicht aus dem (Paradies)garten vertreibt! Sonst wirst du unglücklich sein.
Then We said: "O Adam! verily, this is an enemy to thee and thy wife: so let him not get you both out of the Garden, so that thou art landed in misery.
Then We said: "O Adam! Verily, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So let him not get you both out of Paradise, so that you will be distressed.
Gewiß, es ist dir gewährt, daß du darin weder hungerst noch nackt bist,
"There is therein (enough provision) for thee not to go hungry nor to go naked,
Verily, you have (a promise from Us) that you will never be hungry therein nor naked.
und daß du darin weder dürstest noch Sonnenhitze erleidest."
"Nor to suffer from thirst, nor from the sun's heat."
And you (will) suffer not from thirst therein nor from the sun's heat.
Aber da flüsterte ihm der Satan ein und sagte: "O Adam, soll ich dich auf den Baum der Ewigkeit hinweisen und auf eine Herrschaft, die nicht vergeht?"
But Satan whispered evil to him: he said, "O Adam! shall I lead thee to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that never decays?"
Then Shaitan (Satan) whispered to him, saying: "O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that will never waste away?"
So aßen sie beide davon, und da zeigte sich ihnen ihre Blöße offenkundig, und sie begannen, Blätter des (Paradies)gartens auf sich zusammenzuheften. So widersetzte Adam sich seinem Herrn, und da fiel er in Verirrung.
In the result, they both ate of the tree, and so their nakedness appeared to them: they began to sew together, for their covering, leaves from the Garden: thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced.
Then they both ate of the tree, and so their private parts became manifest to them, and they began to cover themselves with the leaves of the Paradise for their covering. Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, so he went astray.
Hierauf erwählte ihn sein Herr, und so wandte Er Sich ihm Reue-Annehmend zu und leitete (ihn) recht.
But his Lord chose him (for His Grace): He turned to him, and gave him Guidance.
Then his Lord chose him, and turned to him with forgiveness, and gave him guidance.
Er sagte: "Geht alle fort von ihm. Einige von euch seien des anderen Feind. Doch wenn dann von Mir Rechtleitung zu euch kommt, dann wird derjenige, der Meiner Rechtleitung folgt, nicht irregehen und nicht unglücklich sein.
He said: "Get ye down, both of you, - all together, from the Garden, with enmity one to another: but if, as is sure, there comes to you Guidance from Me, whosoever follows My Guidance, will not lose his way, nor fall into misery.
He (Allah) said: "Get you down (from the Paradise to the earth), both of you, together, some of you are an enemy to some others. Then if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My Guidance he shall neither go astray, nor shall be distressed.
Wer sich aber von Meiner Ermahnung abwendet, der wird ein beengtes Leben fuhren, und Wir werden ihn am Tag der Auferstehung blind (zu den anderen) versammeln.
"But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment."
"But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur'an nor acts on its teachings.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection."
Er wird sagen: "Mein Herr, warum hast Du mich blind (zu den anderen) versammelt, wo ich doch sehen konnte?"
He will say: "O my Lord! why hast Thou raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)?"
He will say: "O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)."
Er sagt: "So sind auch zu dir Unsere Zeichen gekommen, und doch hast du sie vergessen. Ebenso wirst du heute vergessen."
(Allah) will say: "Thus didst Thou, when Our Signs came unto thee, disregard them: so wilt thou, this day, be disregarded."
(Allah) will say: "Like this: Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) came unto you, but you disregarded them (i.e. you left them, did not think deeply in them, and you turned away from them), and so this Day, you will be neglected (in the Hell-fire, away from Allah's Mercy)."
So vergelten Wir demjenigen, der maßlos ist und nicht an die Zeichen seines Herrn glaubt. Die Strafe des Jenseits ist wahrlich strenger und nachhaltiger.
And thus do We recompense him who transgresses beyond bounds and believes not in the Signs of his Lord: and the Penalty of the Hereafter is far more grievous and more enduring.
And thus do We requite him who transgresses beyond bounds [i.e. commits the great sins and disobeys his Lord (Allah) and believes not in His Messengers, and His revealed Books, like this Qur'an], and believes not in the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord; and the torment of the Hereafter is far more severe and more lasting.
Ist ihnen denn nicht deutlich geworden, wie viele Geschlechter Wir vor ihnen vernichtet haben, in deren Wohnorten sie (nun) umhergehen? Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für Leute von Verstand.
Is it not a warning to such men (to call to mind) how many generations before them We destroyed, in whose haunts they (now) move? Verily, in this are Signs for men endued with understanding.
Is it not a guidance for them (to know) how many generations We have destroyed before them, in whose dwellings they walk? Verily, in this are signs indeed for men of understanding.
Wenn es nicht ein schon früher ergangenes Wort von deinem Herrn und eine festgesetzte Frist gäbe, wäre (die sofortige Strafe) fürwahr unabwendbar.
Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from thy Lord, (their punishment) must necessarily have come; but there is a Term appointed (for respite).
And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, and a term determined, (their punishment) must necessarily have come (in this world).
So ertrage standhaft, was sie sagen, und lobpreise deinen Herrn vor dem Aufgang der Sonne und vor ihrem Untergang, und zu (verschiedenen) Stunden der Nacht preise (Ihn) und (ebenso) an den Enden des Tages, auf daß du zufrieden sein mögest.
Therefore be patient with what they say, and celebrate (constantly) the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun, and before its setting; yea, celebrate them for part of the hours of the night, and at the sides of the day: that thou mayest have (spiritual) joy.
So bear patiently (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) what they say, and glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting, and during some hours of the night, and at the ends of the day (an indication for the five compulsory congregational prayers), that you may become pleased (with the reward which Allah shall give you).
Und richte nur nicht deine Augen auf das, was Wir manchen von ihnen paarweise als Nießbrauch gewähren - den Glanz des diesseitigen Lebens -, um sie darin der Versuchung auszusetzen. Die Versorgung deines Herrn ist besser und beständiger.
Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them, the splendour of the life of this world, through which We test them: but the provision of thy Lord is better and more enduring.
And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah), the splendour of the life of this world, that We may test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting.
Und befiehl deinen Angehörigen, das Gebet (zu verrichten), und sei beharrlich darin. Wir fordern keine Versorgung von dir; Wir versorgen dich. Und das (gute) Ende gehört der Gottesfurcht.
Enjoin prayer on thy people, and be constant therein. We ask thee not to provide sustenance: We provide it for thee. But the (fruit of) the Hereafter is for righteousness.
And enjoin As-Salat (the prayer) on your family, and be patient in offering them [i.e. the Salat (prayers)]. We ask not of you a provision (i.e. to give Us something: money): We provide for you. And the good end (i.e. Paradise) is for the Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
Und sie sagen: "Wenn er uns doch ein Zeichen von seinem Herrn bringen würde!" Ist nicht zu ihnen der klare Beweis dessen gekommen, was auf den früheren Blättern steht?
They say: "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of revelation?
They say: "Why does he not bring us a sign (proof) from his Lord?" Has there not come to them the proof of that which is (written) in the former papers [Scriptures, i.e. the Taurat (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel), about the coming of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم]?
Hätten Wir sie vor ihm durch eine Strafe vernichtet, hätten sie fürwahr gesagt: "Unser Herr, hättest Du doch einen Gesandten zu uns gesandt, so daß wir Deinen Zeichen hätten folgen können, bevor wir erniedrigt und in Schande gestürzt würden!"
And if We had inflicted on them a penalty before this, they would have said: "Our Lord! If only Thou hadst sent us a messenger, we should certainly have followed Thy Signs before we were humbled and put to shame."
And if We had destroyed them with a torment before this (i.e. Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Qur'an), they would surely have said: "Our Lord! If only You had sent us a Messenger, we should certainly have followed Your Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), before we were humiliated and disgraced."
Sag: Jeder wartet ab; so wartet auch (ihr) ab. Dann werdet ihr (noch) erfahren, wer die Leute des ebenen Weges sind und wer rechtgeleitet ist.
Say: "Each one (of us) is waiting: wait ye, therefore, and soon shall ye know who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received Guidance."
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Each one (believer and .) is waiting, so wait you too; and you shall know who are they that are on the Straight and Even Path (i.e. Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism), and who are they that have let themselves be guided (on the Right Path).
