Unquestionably, for Allah is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allah in position." Indeed, Allah will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allah does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] .
Yusuf Ali
Is it not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than Allah (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to Allah." Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and ungrateful.
Deutsch
Sicherlich, Allah gehört die aufrichtige Religion. Diejenigen aber, die sich anstatt Seiner Schutzherren nehmen (, sagen:) "Wir dienen ihnen nur, damit sie uns Zutritt in Allahs Nähe verschaffen" -, gewiß, Allah wird zwischen ihnen richten über das, worüber sie uneinig sind. Gewiß, Allah leitet nicht recht, wer ein Lügner und be harrlicher Ungläubiger ist.
If Allah had intended to take a son, He could have chosen from what He creates whatever He willed. Exalted is He; He is Allah, the One, the Prevailing.
Yusuf Ali
Had Allah wished to take to Himself a son, He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is Allah, the One, the Irresistible.

Yusuf Ali
He created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night: He has subjected the sun and the moon (to His law): Each one follows a course for a time appointed. Is not He the Exalted in Power - He Who forgives again and again?
Deutsch
Er hat die Himmel und die Erde in Wahrheit erschaffen. Er läßt die Nacht den Tag umschlingen, und Er läßt den Tag die Nacht umschlingen. Und Er hat die Sonne und den Mond dienstbar gemacht - ein jedes läuft auf eine festgesetzte Frist zu. Sicherlich, Er ist der Allmächtige und Allvergebende.
He created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted?
Yusuf Ali
He created you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. such is Allah, your Lord and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)?
Deutsch
Er schuf euch aus einem einzigen Wesen, hierauf machte Er aus ihm seine Gattin. Und Er hat für euch an Vieh acht (Tiere) in Paaren herabgesandt. Er erschafft euch in den Leibern eurer Mütter, eine Schöpfung nach der anderen in dreifacher Finsternis. Dies ist doch Allah, euer Herr. Ihm gehört die Herrschaft. Es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm. Wie laßt ihr euch also abwenden?
If you disbelieve - indeed, Allah is Free from need of you. And He does not approve for His servants disbelief.

Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.
Yusuf Ali
If ye reject (Allah), Truly Allah hath no need of you; but He liketh not ingratitude from His servants: if ye are grateful, He is pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. In the end, to your Lord is your Return, when He will tell you the truth of all that ye did (in this life). for He knoweth well all that is in (men's) hearts.
Deutsch
Wenn ihr ungläubig seid, so ist Allah eurer unbedürftig, obgleich Er mit dem Unglauben für Seine Diener nicht zufrieden ist. Wenn ihr aber dankbar seid, ist Er damit zufrieden für euch. Und keine lasttragende (Seele) nimmt die Last einer anderen auf sich. Hierauf wird eure Rückkehr zu eurem Herrn sein. Dann wird Er euch kundtun, was ihr zu tun pflegtet. Gewiß, Er weiß über das Innerste der Brüste Bescheid.
And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allah equals to mislead [people] from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire."
Yusuf Ali
When some trouble toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning to Him in repentance: but when He bestoweth a favour upon him as from Himself, (man) doth forget what he cried and prayed for before, and he doth set up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from Allah's Path. Say, "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a little while: verily thou art (one) of the Companions of the Fire!"
Deutsch
Und wenn dem Menschen Unheil widerfährt, ruft er seinen Herrn an, indem er sich Ihm reuig zuwendet. Wenn Er ihm hierauf Gunst von Sich gewährt, vergißt er, worum er zuvor angerufen hat, und er stellt Allah andere als Seinesgleichen zur Seite, um (die Menschen) von Seinem Weg ab in die Irre zu führen. Sag: Genieße deinen Unglauben ein wenig; du gehörst ja zu den Insassen des (Höllen)feuers.
Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]?

Then, is one who has deserved the decree of punishment [to be guided]? Then, can you save one who is in the Fire?
Yusuf Ali

Deutsch
Kannst du etwa jemanden retten, der im (Höllen)feuer ist... -jemanden, gegen den der Spruch der Strafe unvermeidlich fällig geworden ist?

Siehst du nicht, daß Allah vom Himmel Wasser herabkommen und es dann als Quellen die Erde durchziehen läßt? Hierauf bringt Er damit Pflanzen von unterschiedlichen Arten hervor.

Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of Allah. That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom Allah leaves astray - for him there is no guide.
Yusuf Ali
Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah: He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide.

Allah prägt als Gleichnis dasjenige von einem Mann, in dem sich (mehrere) Herren (als Eigentümer) teilen, die sich miteinander nicht vertragen, und einem Mann, der nur einem Herrn gehört. Sind die beiden im Gleichnis etwa gleich? (Alles) Lob gehört Allah! Aber die meisten von ihnen wissen nicht.
So who is more unjust than one who lies about Allah and denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a residence for the disbelievers?

Yusuf Ali
If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, "Allah". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye invoke besides Allah, - can they, if Allah wills some Penalty for me, remove His Penalty? - Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?" Say: "Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him trust those who put their trust."
Deutsch
Und wenn du sie fragst, wer die Himmel und die Erde erschaffen hat, sagen sie ganz gewiß: "Allah." Sag: Was meint ihr wohl zu dem, was ihr anstatt Allahs anruft; wenn Allah für mich Unheil will, können sie (dann) Sein Unheil hinwegnehmen?

Auf Ihn ver lassen sich diejenigen, die sich (überhaupt auf jemanden) verlassen.
