And the moon when it follows the sun,
And the moon when she followeth him,

By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;
And the day when it shows it,
And the day when it revealeth him,
und dem Tag, wenn er sie erscheinen läßt,

And the night when it enshroudeth him,
und der Nacht, wenn sie sie überdeckt,

And the earth and Him Who spread it,

And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,

He will indeed be who purifies it,
He is indeed who causeth it to grow,
Wohl ergehen wird es ja jemandem, der sie läutert,
And he fails that corrupts it!
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.
und enttäuscht sein wird ja, wer sie verkümmern läßt.
The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong - doing,
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,
Die Tamud erklärten in ihrer Auflehnung (die Botschaft) für Lüge,
Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
When the basest of them broke forth

But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She - camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"

Allahs Gesandter sagte zu ihnen: "(Achtet auf) Allahs Kamelstute und ihre Trinkzeit."
Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!
But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground).
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
Sie aber bezichtigten ihn der Lüge, und so schnitten sie ihr die Sehnen durch. Da schmetterte ihr Herr sie für ihre Sünde nieder, und so ebnete Er über ihnen die Erde ein.
And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
And He fears not its consequence.
He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
Und Er (Allah) fürchtet nicht die Folge davon.
