Ta, Seen. These are the verses of the Qur'an and a clear Book
Ta-Sin. Dies sind die Zeichen des Qur'ans und eines deutlichen Buches,
These are verses of the Qur'an, - a book that makes (things) clear;
As guidance and good tidings for the believers
als Rechtleitung und frohe Botschaft für die Gläubigen,
A guide: and glad tidings for the believers, -
Who establish prayer and give zakah, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].
die das Gebet verrichten und die Abgabe entrichten, und sie, die sie vom Jenseits überzeugt sind.
Those who establish regular prayers and give in regular charity, and also have (full) assurance of the hereafter.
Indeed, for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made pleasing to them their deeds, so they wander blindly.
Gewiß, denjenigen, die nicht an das Jenseits glauben, haben Wir ihre Taten ausgeschmückt, so daß sie blind umherirren.
As to those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds pleasing in their eyes; and so they wander about in distraction.
Those are the ones for whom there will be the worst of punishment, and in the Hereafter they are the greatest losers.
Das sind diejenigen, für die es böse Strafe geben wird, und im Jenseits sind sie die größten Verlierer.
Such are they for whom a grievous Penalty is (waiting); and in the Hereafter theirs will be the greatest loss.
And indeed, [O Muhammad], you receive the Qur'an from one Wise and Knowing.
Dir wird der Qur'an wahrlich von Seiten eines Allweisen und Allwissenden zum Empfang überbracht.
As to thee, the Qur'an is bestowed upon thee from the presence of one who is wise and all - knowing.
[Mention] when Moses said to his family, "Indeed, I have perceived a fire. I will bring you from there information or will bring you a burning torch that you may warm yourselves."
Als Musa zu seinen Angehörigen sagte: "Ich habe ein Feuer wahrgenommen. Ich werde euch davon eine Nachricht bringen, oder ich bringe euch einen Leuchtkörper, ein brennendes Stück Holz, auf daß ihr euch (daran) wärmen könnt."
Behold! Moses said to his family: "I perceive a fire; soon will I bring you from there some information, or I will bring you a burning brand to light our fuel, that ye may warm yourselves.
But when he came to it, he was called, "Blessed is whoever is at the fire and whoever is around it. And exalted is Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Als er dort ankam, wurde ihm zugerufen: "Gesegnet ist wer im Feuer und wer in dessen Umgebung ist, und Preis sei Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
But when he came to the (fire), a voice was heard: "Blessed are those in the fire and those around: and glory to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
O Moses, indeed it is I - Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
O Musa, Ich bin es, gewiß, Ich bin Allah, der Allmächtige und Allweise."
"O Moses! verily, I am Allah, the exalted in might, the wise!....
And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it were a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [Allah said], "O Moses, fear not. Indeed, in My presence the messengers do not fear.
Und: "Wirf deinen Stock hin." Doch als er sah, daß er sich hin und her bewegte, als wäre er eine flinke Schlange, kehrte er den Rücken und wandte sich nicht mehr um. "O Musa, fürchte dich nicht, denn bei Mir brauchen sich die Gesandten nicht zu fürchten.
"Now do thou throw thy rod!" But when he saw it moving (of its own accord) as if it had been a snake, he turned back in retreat, and retraced not his steps: "O Moses!" (it was said), "Fear not: truly, in My presence, those called as messengers have no fear, -
Otherwise, he who wrongs, then substitutes good after evil - indeed, I am Forgiving and Merciful.
Wer aber Unrecht getan und hierauf nach Bösem Gutes eingetauscht hat, so bin Ich Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
"But if any have done wrong and have thereafter substituted good to take the place of evil, truly, I am Oft - Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And put your hand into the opening of your garment [at the breast]; it will come out white without disease. [These are] among the nine signs [you will take] to Pharaoh and his people. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."
Und stecke deine Hand in deinen Brustschlitz, so kommt sie weiß, jedoch nicht von Übel befallen, heraus. (Dies zählt) zu neun Zeichen, (gerichtet) an Fir'aun und sein Volk. Gewiß, sie sind ein Volk von Frevlern."
"Now put thy hand into thy bosom, and it will come forth white without stain (or harm): (these are) among the nine Signs (thou wilt take) to Pharaoh and his people: for they are a people rebellious in transgression."
But when there came to them Our visible signs, they said, "This is obvious magic."
Als dann Unsere Zeichen offenkundig sichtbar zu ihnen kamen, sagten sie: "Das ist deutliche Zauberei."
But when Our Signs came to them, that should have opened their eyes, they said: "This is sorcery manifest!"
And they rejected them, while their [inner] selves were convinced thereof, out of injustice and haughtiness. So see how was the end of the corrupters.
Und sie verleugneten sie, obwohl sie selbst davon überzeugt waren, aus Ungerechtigkeit und Überheblichkeit. So schau, wie das Ende der Unheilstifter war.
And they rejected those Signs in iniquity and arrogance, though their souls were convinced thereof: so see what was the end of those who acted corruptly!
And We had certainly given to David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, "Praise [is due] to Allah, who has favored us over many of His believing servants."
Und Wir gaben bereits Dawud und Sulaiman Wissen. Und sie sagten: "(Alles) Lob gehört Allah, der uns vor vielen Seiner gläubigen Diener bevorzugt hat!"
We gave (in the past) knowledge to David and Solomon: And they both said: "Praise be to Allah, Who has favoured us above many of his servants who believe!"
And Solomon inherited David. He said, "O people, we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given from all things. Indeed, this is evident bounty."
Und Sulaiman beerbte Dawud und sagte: "O ihr Menschen, uns ist die Sprache der Vögel gelehrt worden, und uns wurde von allem gegeben. Das ist wahrlich die deutliche Huld."
And Solomon was David's heir. He said: "O ye people! We have been taught the speech of birds, and on us has been bestowed (a little) of all things: this is indeed Grace manifest (from Allah.)"
And gathered for Solomon were his soldiers of the jinn and men and birds, and they were [marching] in rows.
Und versammelt wurden für Sulaiman seine Heerscharen - unter den Ginn, Menschen und Vögeln -, und so wurden sie in Reihen geordnet.
And before Solomon were marshalled his hosts, - of Jinns and men and birds, and they were all kept in order and ranks.
Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not."
Als sie dann zum Ameisental kamen, sagte eine Ameise: "O ihr Ameisen, geht in eure Wohnungen hinein, damit euch ja nicht Sulaiman und seine Heerscharen niederwalzen, ohne daß sie merken."
At length, when they came to a (lowly) valley of ants, one of the ants said: "O ye ants, get into your habitations, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under foot) without knowing it."
So [Solomon] smiled, amused at her speech, and said, "My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants."
Da lächelte er erheitert über ihre Worte und sagte: "Mein Herr, veranlasse mich, für Deine Gunst zu danken, die Du mir und meinen Eltern erwiesen hast, und rechtschaffen zu handeln, womit Du zufrieden bist. Und lasse mich durch Deine Barmherzigkeit eingehen in die Reihen Deiner rechtschaffenen Diener."
So he smiled, amused at her speech; and he said: "O my Lord! so order me that I may be grateful for Thy favours, which thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may work the righteousness that will please Thee: And admit me, by Thy Grace, to the ranks of Thy righteous Servants."
And he took attendance of the birds and said, "Why do I not see the hoopoe - or is he among the absent?
Und er schaute bei den Vögeln nach. Da sagte er: "Wie kommt es, daß ich den Wiedehopf nicht sehe? Befindet er sich etwa unter den Abwesenden?
And he took a muster of the Birds; and he said: "Why is it I see not the Hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees?
I will surely punish him with a severe punishment or slaughter him unless he brings me clear authorization."
Ich werde ihn ganz gewiß strengstens strafen, oder ich werde ihn ganz gewiß hinrichten (lassen)', es sei denn, er bringt mir fürwahr eine deutliche Ermächtigung."
"I will certainly punish him with a severe penalty, or execute him, unless he bring me a clear reason (for absence)."
But the hoopoe stayed not long and said, "I have encompassed [in knowledge] that which you have not encompassed, and I have come to you from Sheba with certain news.
Aber er blieb nicht lange aus. Er sagte: "Ich habe (an Wissen) erfaßt, was du nicht erfaßt hast. Und ich bringe dir aus Saba sichere Kunde.
But the Hoopoe tarried not far: he (came up and) said: "I have compassed (territory) which thou hast not compassed, and I have come to thee from Saba with tidings true.
Indeed, I found [there] a woman ruling them, and she has been given of all things, and she has a great throne.
Gewiß, ich habe herausgefunden, daß eine Frau über sie herrscht, daß ihr von allem gegeben worden ist und daß sie einen gewaltigen Thron hat.
"I found (there) a woman ruling over them and provided with every requisite; and she has a magnificent throne.
I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah, and Satan has made their deeds pleasing to them and averted them from [His] way, so they are not guided,
Ich habe herausgefunden, daß sie und ihr Volk sich vor der Sonne niederwerfen, anstatt vor Allah. Und der Satan hat ihnen ihre Taten ausgeschmückt und sie dann vom Weg abgehalten, so daß sie nicht rechtgeleitet sind,
"I found her and her people worshipping the sun besides Allah: Satan has made their deeds seem pleasing in their eyes, and has kept them away from the Path, - so they receive no guidance, -
[And] so they do not prostrate to Allah, who brings forth what is hidden within the heavens and the earth and knows what you conceal and what you declare -
(dies), damit sie sich nicht vor Allah niederwerfen, Der das Versteckte in den Himmeln und auf der Erde herausbringt und weiß, was ihr verbergt, und was ihr offenlegt.
"(Kept them away from the Path), that they should not worship Allah, Who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what ye hide and what ye reveal.
Allah - there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Great Throne."
Allah - es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm, dem Herrn des gewaltigen Thrones."
"Allah! - there is no god but He! - Lord of the Throne Supreme!"
[Solomon] said, "We will see whether you were truthful or were of the liars.
Er sagte: "Wir werden schauen, ob du die Wahrheit sagst oder ob du zu den Lügnern gehörst.
(Solomon) said: "Soon shall we see whether thou hast told the truth or lied!
Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them. Then leave them and see what [answer] they will return."
Geh mit diesem meinem Schreiben, überbringe es ihnen und kehre dich hierauf von ihnen ab. Dann schau, was sie erwidern."
"Go thou, with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them: then draw back from them, and (wait to) see what answer they return"...
She said, "O eminent ones, indeed, to me has been delivered a noble letter.
Sie sagte: "O ihr führende Schar, mir ist ein edles Schreiben zugeworfen worden.
(The queen) said: "Ye chiefs! here is delivered to me - a letter worthy of respect.
Indeed, it is from Solomon, and indeed, it reads: 'In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
Gewiß, es ist von Sulaiman, und es lautet: ,Im Namen Allahs, des Allerbarmers, des Barmherzigen.
"It is from Solomon, and is (as follows): 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful:
Be not haughty with me but come to me in submission [as Muslims].' "
Seid mir gegenüber nicht überheblich und kommt als (Allah) Ergebene zu mir'."
"'Be ye not arrogant against me, but come to me in submission (to the true Religion).'"
She said, "O eminent ones, advise me in my affair. I would not decide a matter until you witness [for] me."
Sie sagte: "O ihr führende Schar, gebt mir eure Meinung über meine Angelegenheit bekannt; ich pflege ja keine Angelegenheit zu entscheiden, solange ihr nicht bei mir anwesend seid."
She said: "Ye chiefs! advise me in (this) my affair: no affair have I decided except in your presence."
They said, "We are men of strength and of great military might, but the command is yours, so see what you will command."
Sie sagten: "Wir besitzen eine Streitmacht und besitzen eine starke Gewalt, doch es steht dir zu, zu befehlen. So sieh zu, was du befehlen willst."
They said: "We are endued with strength, and given to vehement war: but the command is with thee; so consider what thou wilt command."
She said, "Indeed kings - when they enter a city, they ruin it and render the honored of its people humbled. And thus do they do.
Sie sagte: "Gewiß, wenn Könige eine Stadt betreten, verderben sie sie und machen die Mächtigen ihrer Bewohner zu Erniedrigten, und so handeln sie.
She said: "Kings, when they enter a country, despoil it, and make the noblest of its people its meanest thus do they behave.
But indeed, I will send to them a gift and see with what [reply] the messengers will return."
Gewiß, ich werde (Boten) zu ihnen senden mit einem Geschenk und dann abwarten, was (für eine Antwort) die Gesandten zurückbringen."
"But I am going to send him a present, and (wait) to see with what (answer) return (my) ambassadors."
So when they came to Solomon, he said, "Do you provide me with wealth? But what Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. Rather, it is you who rejoice in your gift.
Als er zu Sulaiman kam, sagte dieser : "Wollt ihr mich mit Besitz unterstützen? Aber das, was mir Allah gegeben hat, ist besser als das, was Er euch gegeben hat. Nein! Vielmehr seid ihr es, die ihr über euer Geschenk froh seid.
Now when (the embassy) came to Solomon, he said: "Will ye give me abundance in wealth? But that which Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you! Nay it is ye who rejoice in your gift!
Return to them, for we will surely come to them with soldiers that they will be powerless to encounter, and we will surely expel them therefrom in humiliation, and they will be debased."
Kehr zu ihnen zurück. Wir werden ganz gewiß mit Heerscharen über sie kommen, denen sie nichts entgegenzusetzen haben. Und wir werden sie ganz gewiß erniedrigt daraus vertreiben, als Geringgeachtete."
"Go back to them, and be sure we shall come to them with such hosts as they will never be able to meet: We shall expel them from there in disgrace, and they will feel humbled (indeed)."
[Solomon] said, "O assembly [of jinn], which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?"
Er sagte: "O ihr führende Schar, wer von euch bringt mir ihren Thron, bevor sie als (Allah) Ergebene zu mir kommen?"
He said (to his own men): "Ye chiefs! which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?"
A powerful one from among the jinn said, "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place, and indeed, I am for this [task] strong and trustworthy."
Ein unüberwindlicher von den Ginn sagte: "Ich bringe ihn dir, bevor du dich von deiner Stelle erhebst. Und ich bin wahrlich stark (genug) dazu und vertrauenswürdig."
Said an 'Ifrit, of the Jinns: "I will bring it to thee before thou rise from thy council: indeed I have full strength for the purpose, and may be trusted."
Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, "I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you." And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful - his gratitude is only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever is ungrateful - then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous."
Derjenige, der Wissen aus der Schrift hatte, sagte: "Ich bringe ihn dir, bevor dein Blick zu dir zurückkehrt." Als er ihn unbeweglich bei sich stehen sah, sagte er: "Dies ist von der Huld meines Herrn, damit Er mich prüft, ob ich dankbar oder undankbar bin. Wer dankbar ist, der ist nur zu seinem eigenen Vorteil dankbar; wer aber undankbar ist - so ist mein Herr unbedürftig und freigebig."
Said one who had knowledge of the Book: "I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord! - to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! and if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour!"
He said, "Disguise for her her throne; we will see whether she will be guided [to truth] or will be of those who is not guided."
Er sagte: "Macht ihr ihren Thron unkenntlich, wir wollen schauen, ob sie rechtgeleitet wird oder ob sie zu denjenigen gehört, die nicht rechtgeleitet werden."
He said: "Transform her throne out of all recognition by her: let us see whether she is guided (to the truth) or is one of those who receive no guidance."
So when she arrived, it was said [to her], "Is your throne like this?" She said, "[It is] as though it was it." [Solomon said], "And we were given knowledge before her, and we have been Muslims [in submission to Allah].
Als sie kam, wurde (zu ihr) gesagt: "Ist dein Thron so (wie dieser hier)?" Sie sagte: "Es ist so, als ob er es sei.8" (Sulaiman sagte:) "Und uns wurde schon davor das Wissen gegeben, und wir waren (Allah) ergeben."
So when she arrived, she was asked, "Is this thy throne?" She said, "It was just like this; and knowledge was bestowed on us in advance of this, and we have submitted to Allah (in Islam)."
And that which she was worshipping other than Allah had averted her [from submission to Him]. Indeed, she was from a disbelieving people."
Aber abgehalten (vom Glauben) hat sie das, dem sie anstatt Allahs diente, denn sie gehörte zu ungläubigen Leuten.
And he diverted her from the worship of others besides Allah: for she was (sprung) of a people that had no faith.
She was told, "Enter the palace." But when she saw it, she thought it was a body of water and uncovered her shins [to wade through]. He said, "Indeed, it is a palace [whose floor is] made smooth with glass." She said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, and I submit with Solomon to Allah, Lord of the worlds."
Es wurde zu ihr gesagt: "Tritt in den Prachtbau ein." Als sie ihn sah, hielt sie ihn für ein tiefes Wasser und entblößte ihre Unterschenkel. Er sagte: "Es ist ein mit Glas ausgelegter Prachtbau." Sie sagte: "Mein Herr, ich habe mir selbst Unrecht zugefügt, aber ich ergebe mich (nun), zusammen mit Sulaiman, Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner."
She was asked to enter the lofty Palace: but when she saw it, she thought it was a lake of water, and she (tucked up her skirts), uncovering her legs. He said: "This is but a palace paved smooth with slabs of glass." She said: "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul: I do (now) submit (in Islam), with Solomon, to the Lord of the Worlds."
And We had certainly sent to Thamud their brother Salih, [saying], "Worship Allah," and at once they were two parties conflicting.
Und Wir sandten bereits zu den Tamud ihren Bruder Salih: "Dient Allah." Da waren es sogleich zwei Gruppen, die miteinander stritten.
We sent (aforetime), to the Thamud, their brother Salih, saying, "Serve Allah": But behold, they became two factions quarrelling with each other.
He said, "O my people, why are you impatient for evil instead of good? Why do you not seek forgiveness of Allah that you may receive mercy?"
Er sagte: "O mein Volk, warum wünscht ihr, das Schlechte vor dem Guten zu beschleunigen? Würdet ihr doch Allah um Vergebung bitten, auf daß ihr Erbarmen finden möget!"
He said: "O my people! why ask ye to hasten on the evil in preference to the good? If only ye ask Allah for forgiveness, ye may hope to receive mercy.
They said, "We consider you a bad omen, you and those with you." He said, "Your omen is with Allah. Rather, you are a people being tested."
Sie sagten: "Wir sehen ein böses Vorzeichen in dir und in denjenigen, die mit dir sind." Er sagte: "Euer Vorzeichen ist bei Allah. Nein! Vielmehr seid ihr Leute, die der Versuchung ausgesetzt werden."
They said: "Ill omen do we augur from thee and those that are with thee". He said: "Your ill omen is with Allah; yea, ye are a people under trial."
And there were in the city nine family heads causing corruption in the land and not amending [its affairs].
Nun befanden sich in der Stadt neun Mitglieder einer Sippschaft, die auf der Erde Unheil stifteten und keine Besserung brachten.
There were in the city nine men of a family, who made mischief in the land, and would not reform.
They said, "Take a mutual oath by Allah that we will kill him by night, he and his family. Then we will say to his executor, 'We did not witness the destruction of his family, and indeed, we are truthful.' "
Sie sagten: "Schwört einander bei Allah: Wir werden ganz gewiß ihn und seine Angehörigen nachts überfallen, und hierauf werden wir zu seinem nächsten Verwandten sagen: ,Wir waren bei der Vernichtung seiner Angehörigen nicht zugegen, und wir sagen ganz gewiß die Wahrheit'."
They said: "Swear a mutual oath by Allah that we shall make a secret night attack on him and his people, and that we shall then say to his heir (when he seeks vengeance): 'We were not present at the slaughter of his people, and we are positively telling the truth.'"
And they planned a plan, and We planned a plan, while they perceived not.
Sie schmiedeten Ränke, und Wir schmiedeten Ränke, ohne daß sie merkten.
They plotted and planned, but We too planned, even while they perceived it not.
Then look how was the outcome of their plan - that We destroyed them and their people, all.
Schau nur, wie die Folge ihrer Ränke war: Wir zerstörten sie und ihr Volk allesamt.
Then see what was the end of their plot! - this, that We destroyed them and their people, all (of them).
So those are their houses, desolate because of the wrong they had done. Indeed in that is a sign for people who know.
Dies sind nun ihre Häuser, wüst dafür, daß sie Unrecht taten. Darin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen für Leute, die Bescheid wissen.
Now such were their houses, - in utter ruin, - because they practised wrong - doing. Verily in this is a Sign for people of knowledge.
And We saved those who believed and used to fear Allah.
Und Wir retteten diejenigen, die glaubten und gottesfürchtig waren.
And We saved those who believed and practised righteousness.
And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Do you commit immorality while you are seeing?
Und (Wir sandten) Lut. Als er zu seinem Volk sagte: "Wollt ihr denn sehend(en Auges) das Abscheuliche begehen?
(We also sent) Lut (as a messenger): behold, He said to his people, "Do ye do what is shameful though ye see (its iniquity)?
Do you indeed approach men with desire instead of women? Rather, you are a people behaving ignorantly."
Laßt ihr euch denn wahrlich in Begierde mit den Männern ein anstatt mit den Frauen? Aber nein! Ihr seid Leute, die töricht sind."
Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant!
But the answer of his people was not except that they said, "Expel the family of Lot from your city. Indeed, they are people who keep themselves pure."
Doch die Antwort seines Volkes war nur, daß sie sagten: "Vertreibt die Sippe Luts aus eurer Stadt! Das sind Menschen, die sich rein halten."
But his people gave no other answer but this: they said, "Drive out the followers of Lut from your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!"
So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; We destined her to be of those who remained behind.
Da retteten Wir ihn und seine Angehörigen, außer seiner Frau; Wir bestimmten, daß sie zu denjenigen gehörte, die zurückblieben.
But We saved him and his family, except his wife; her We destined to be of those who lagged behind.
And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.
Und Wir ließen einen Regen auf sie niedergehen; wie böse war der Regen der Ge warnten!
And We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)!
Say, [O Muhammad], "Praise be to Allah, and peace upon His servants whom He has chosen. Is Allah better or what they associate with Him?"
Sag: (Alles) Lob gehört Allah, und Friede sei auf Seinen Dienern, die Er Sich auserwählt hat! Ist denn Allah besser oder das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen?
Say: Praise be to Allah, and Peace on his servants whom He has chosen (for his Message). (Who) is better? - Allah or the false gods they associate (with Him)?
[More precisely], is He [not best] who created the heavens and the earth and sent down for you rain from the sky, causing to grow thereby gardens of joyful beauty which you could not [otherwise] have grown the trees thereof? Is there a deity with Allah? [No], but they are a people who ascribe equals [to Him].
Oder (ist besser) Wer die Himmel und die Erde erschaffen hat und für euch vom Himmel Wasser herabkommen läßt, durch das Wir in Entzücken versetzende umfriedete Gärten wachsen lassen, deren Bäume unmöglich ihr wachsen lassen könntet. Gibt es denn einen (anderen) Gott neben Allah? Nein! Vielmehr sind sie Leute, die (Allah andere) gleichsetzen.
Or, Who has created the heavens and the earth, and Who sends you down rain from the sky? Yea, with it We cause to grow well - planted orchards full of beauty of delight: it is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them. (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay, they are a people who swerve from justice.
Is He [not best] who made the earth a stable ground and placed within it rivers and made for it firmly set mountains and placed between the two seas a barrier? Is there a deity with Allah? [No], but most of them do not know.
Oder (ist besser) Wer die Erde zu einem festen Grund gemacht und Flüsse durch sie gemacht und festgegründete Berge (auf) ihr gemacht und zwischen den beiden Meeren eine Schranke gemacht hat? Gibt es denn einen (anderen) Gott neben Allah? Aber nein! Die meisten von ihnen wissen nicht.

Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth? Is there a deity with Allah? Little do you remember.
Oder (ist besser) Wer den in einer Notlage Befindlichen erhört, wenn er Ihn anruft, und das Böse hinwegnimmt und euch zu Nachfolgern (auf) der Erde macht? Gibt es denn einen (anderen) Gott neben Allah? Wie wenig ihr bedenkt!
Or, Who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and Who relieves its suffering, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Little it is that ye heed!
Is He [not best] who guides you through the darknesses of the land and sea and who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy? Is there a deity with Allah? High is Allah above whatever they associate with Him.
Oder (ist besser) Wer euch in den Finsternissen des Festlandes und des Meeres (den rechten Weg) leitet und Wer die Winde als Frohboten Seiner Barmherzigkeit (voraus)sendet? Gibt es denn einen (anderen) Gott neben Allah? Erhaben ist Allah über das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen.
Or, Who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His Mercy? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? - High is Allah above what they associate with Him!
Is He [not best] who begins creation and then repeats it and who provides for you from the heaven and earth? Is there a deity with Allah? Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."

Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah, knows what is hidden: nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up (for Judgment).
Rather, their knowledge is arrested concerning the Hereafter. Rather, they are in doubt about it. Rather, they are, concerning it, blind.
Nein! Vielmehr hat ihr Wissen über das Jenseits versagt. Nein! Vielmehr sind sie darüber im Zweifel. Nein! Vielmehr sind sie ihm gegenüber blind.
Still less can their knowledge comprehend the Hereafter: Nay, they are in doubt and uncertainty thereanent; nay, they are blind thereunto!
And those who disbelieve say, "When we have become dust as well as our forefathers, will we indeed be brought out [of the graves]?
Und diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, sagen: "Wenn wir zu Erde geworden sind, und (auch) unsere Väter, sollen wir denn dann wirklich wieder hervorgebracht werden?
The Unbelievers say: "What! when we become dust, - we and our fathers, - shall we really be raised (from the dead)?
We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before. This is not but legends of the former peoples."
Dies ist zuvor bereits uns und unseren Vätern versprochen worden. Das sind nur Fabeln der Früheren."
"It is true we were promised this, - we and our fathers before (us): these are nothing but tales of the ancients."

And grieve not over them or be in distress from what they conspire.
Sei nicht traurig über sie, und sei nicht in Beklommenheit wegen der Ränke, die sie schmieden.
But grieve not over them, nor distress thyself because of their plots.
And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"
Und sie sagen: "Wann wird dieses Versprechen eintreten, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid?"
They also say: "When will this promise (come to pass)? (Say) if ye are truthful."
Say, "Perhaps it is close behind you - some of that for which you are impatient.
Sag: Vielleicht ist dicht hinter euch einiges von dem, was ihr zu beschleunigen wünscht.
Say: "It may be that some of the events which ye wish to hasten on may be (close) in your pursuit!"
And indeed, your Lord is full of bounty for the people, but most of them do not show gratitude."
Dein Herr ist wahrlich voll Huld gegen die Menschen. Aber die meisten von ihnen sind nicht dankbar.
But verily thy Lord is full of grace to mankind: Yet most of them are ungrateful.
And indeed, your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare.
