And the day resplendent
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And [by] He who created the male and female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
And Him Who hath created male and female,
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!

Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
