Yusuf Ali
A. L. R. A Book which We have revealed unto thee, in order that thou mightest lead mankind out of the depths of darkness into light - by the leave of their Lord - to the Way of (Him) the Exalted in power, worthy of all praise! -
Shakir
Alif Lam Ra. (This is) a Book which We have revealed to you that you may bring forth men, by their Lord's permission from utter darkness into light - - to the way of the Mighty, the Praised One,
Deutsch
Alif-Lam-Ra. Dies ist ein Buch, das Wir zu dir hinabgesandt haben, damit du die Menschen mit der Erlaubnis ihres Herrn aus den Finsternissen hinaus ins Licht bringst, auf den Weg des Allmächtigen und Lobenswürdigen,
Of Allah, to Whom do belong all things in the heavens and on earth! But alas for the Unbelievers for a terrible penalty (their Unfaith will bring them)! -
Shakir
(Of) Allah, Whose is whatever is in the heavens and whatever Is in the earth; and woe to the unbelievers on account of the severe chastisement,
Deutsch
(den Weg) Allahs, Dessen ist, was in den Himmeln und was auf der Erde. Und wehe den Ungläubigen vor einer strengen Strafe!
Those who love the life of this world more than the Hereafter, who hinder (men) from the Path of Allah and seek therein something crooked: they are astray by a long distance.
Shakir
(To) those who love this world's life more than the hereafter, and turn away from Allah's path and desire to make it crooked; these are in a great error.
Deutsch
Diejenigen, die das diesseitige Leben mehr lieben als das Jenseits und von Allahs Weg abhalten und danach trachten, ihn krumm zu machen; sie befinden sich in weit(reichend)em Irrtum.
We sent not a messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. Now Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases: and He is Exalted in power, full of Wisdom.
Shakir
And We did not send any apostle but with the language of his people, so that he might explain to them clearly; then Allah makes whom He pleases err and He guides whom He pleases and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
Deutsch
Und Wir haben keinen Gesandten gesandt, außer in der Sprache seines Volkes, damit er ihnen (die Botschaft) klar macht. Allah läßt dann in die Irre gehen, wen Er will, und leitet recht, wen Er will. Und Er ist der Allmächtige und Allweise.
We sent Moses with Our signs (and the command). "Bring out thy people from the depths of darkness into light, and teach them to remember the Days of Allah." Verily in this there are Signs for such as are firmly patient and constant, - grateful and appreciative.
Shakir
And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications, saying: Bring forth your people from utter darkness into light and remind them of the days of Allah; most surely there are signs in this for every patient, grateful one.
Deutsch
Und Wir sandten ja bereits Musa mit Unseren Zeichen: "Bringe dein Volk aus den Finsternissen hinaus ins Licht, und erinnere sie an die Tage Allahs." Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für jeden sehr Standhaften und sehr Dankbaren.
Remember! Moses said to his people: "Call to mind the favour of Allah to you when He delivered you from the people of Pharaoh: they set you hard tasks and punishments, slaughtered your sons, and let your women - folk live: therein was a tremendous trial from your Lord."
Shakir
And when Musa said to his people: Call to mind Allah's favor to you when He delivered you from Firon's people, who subjected you to severe torment, and slew your sons and spared your women; and in this there was a great trial from your Lord.
Deutsch
Und als Musa zu seinem Volk sagte: "Gedenkt der Gunst Allahs an euch, als Er euch vor den Leuten Fir'auns rettete, die euch eine böse Qual auferlegten, eure Söhne abschlachteten und (nur) eure Frauen am Leben ließen. Seht, darin war für euch eine gewaltige Prüfung von eurem Herrn.
And remember! your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): "If ye are grateful, I will add more (favours) unto you; But if ye show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed."
Shakir
And when your Lord made it known: If you are grateful, I would certainly give to you more, and if you are ungrateful, My chastisement is truly severe.
Deutsch
Und als euer Herr ankündigte: ,Wenn ihr dankbar seid, werde Ich euch ganz gewiß noch mehr (Gunst) erweisen. Wenn ihr jedoch undankbar seid, dann ist meine Strafe fürwahr streng'."
Has not the story reached you, (O people!), of those who (went) before you? - of the people of Noah, and 'Ad, and Thamud? - And of those who (came) after them? None knows them but Allah. To them came messengers with Clear (Signs); but they put their hands up to their mouths, and said: "We do deny (the mission) on which ye have been sent, and we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which ye invite us."
Shakir
Has not the account reached you of those before you, of the people of Nuh and Ad and Samood, and those after them? None knows them but Allah. Their apostles come to them with clear arguments, but they thrust their hands into their mouths and said: Surely we deny that with which you are sent, and most surely we are in serious doubt as to that to which you invite us.
Deutsch
Ist zu euch nicht die Kunde von denjenigen vor euch gekommen, des Volkes Nuhs, der 'Ad und der Tamud und derjenigen nach ihnen? Nur Allah kennt sie. Ihre Gesandten kamen zu ihnen mit den klaren Beweisen; sie aber steckten (vor Grimm) ihre Hände in den Mund und sagten: "Wir verleugnen das, womit ihr gesandt seid, und wir sind über das, wozu ihr uns aufruft, fürwahr in einem starken Zweifel."
Their messengers said: "Is there a doubt about Allah, The Creator of the heavens and the earth? It is He Who invites you, in order that He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a term appointed!" They said: "Ah! ye are no more than human, like ourselves! Ye wish to turn us away from the (gods) our fathers used to worship: then bring us some clear authority."
Shakir
Their apostles said: Is there doubt about Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth? He invites you to forgive you your faults and to respite you till an appointed term. They said: You are nothing but mortals like us; you wish to turn us away from what our fathers used to worship; bring us therefore some clear authority.
Deutsch
Ihre Gesandten sagten: "Gibt es denn einen Zweifel über Allah, den Erschaffer der Himmel und der Erde, Der euch ruft, um euch (etwas) von euren Sünden zu vergeben und euch auf eine festgesetzte Frist zurückzustellen?" Sie sagten: "Ihr seid nur menschliche Wesen wie wir. Ihr wollt uns von dem abhalten, dem unsere Väter dienten. So bringt uns eine deutliche Ermächtigung."
Their messengers said to them: "True, we are human like yourselves, but Allah doth grant His grace to such of his servants as He pleases. It is not for us to bring you an authority except as Allah permits. And on Allah let all men of faith put their trust.
Shakir
Their apostles said to them: We are nothing but mortals like yourselves, but Allah bestows (His) favors on whom He pleases of His servants, and it is not for us that we should bring you an authority except by Allah's permission; and on Allah should the believers rely.
Deutsch
Ihre Gesandten sagten zu ihnen: "Wir sind (zwar) nur menschliche Wesen wie ihr, aber Allah erweist Wohltaten, wem von Seinen Dienern Er will. Es steht uns nicht zu, eine Ermächtigung zu bringen - außer mit der Erlaubnis Allahs. Und auf Allah sollen sich die Gläubigen verlassen.
"No reason have we why we should not put our trust on Allah. Indeed He Has guided us to the Ways we (follow). We shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us. For those who put their trust should put their trust on Allah."
Shakir
And what reason have we that we should not rely on Allah? And He has indeed guided us in our ways; and certainly we would bear with patience your persecution of us; and on Allah should the reliant rely.
Deutsch
Warum sollten wir uns nicht auf Allah verlassen, wo Er uns doch unsere Wege geleitet hat? Wir werden das, was ihr uns an Leid zufügt, ganz gewiß geduldig ertragen, und auf Allah sollen sich diejenigen verlassen, die sich (überhaupt auf jemanden) verlassen (wollen)."
And the Unbelievers said to their messengers: "Be sure we shall drive you out of our land, or ye shall return to our religion." But their Lord inspired (this Message) to them: "Verily We shall cause the wrong - doers to perish!
Shakir
And those who disbelieved said to their apostles: We will most certainly drive you forth from our land, or else you shall come back into our religion. So their Lord revealed to them: Most certainly We will destroy the unjust.
Deutsch
Diejenigen, die ungläubig waren, sagten zu ihren Gesandten: "Wir werden euch ganz gewiß aus unserem Land vertreiben, oder aber ihr kehrt zu unserem Glaubensbekenntnis zurück!" Da gab ihnen ihr Herr (als Offenbarung) ein: "Ganz gewiß werden Wir die Ungerechten vernichten.
"And verily We shall cause you to abide in the land, and succeed them. This for such as fear the Time when they shall stand before My tribunal, - such as fear the punishment denounced."
Shakir
And most certainly We will settle you in the land after them; this is for him who fears standing in My presence and who fears My threat.
Deutsch
Und Wir werden euch ganz gewiß nach ihnen das Land bewohnen lassen. Dies (gilt) für denjenigen, der Meinen Stand fürchtet und Meine Androhung fürchtet."
In gulps will he sip it, but never will he be near swallowing it down his throat: death will come to him from every quarter, yet will he not die: and in front of him will be a chastisement unrelenting.
Shakir
He will drink it little by little and will not be able to swallow it agreeably, and death will come to him from every quarter, but he shall not die; and there shall be vehement chastisement before him.
Deutsch
das er schluckt, aber beinahe nicht hinunterbringt. Und der Tod kommt zu ihm von überall her, doch kann er nicht sterben. Und hinterdrein kommt harte Strafe.
The parable of those who reject their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a tempestuous day: No power have they over aught that they have earned: that is the straying far, far (from the goal).
Shakir
The parable of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their actions are like ashes on which the wind blows hard on a stormy day; they shall not have power over any thing out of what they have earned; this is the great error.
Deutsch
(Dies ist) das Gleichnis derjenigen, die ihren Herrn verleugnen: Ihre Werke sind wie Asche, auf die der Wind an einem stürmischen Tag heftig bläst. Sie haben keine Macht über etwas von dem, was sie erworben haben. Das ist wirklich der tiefe Irrtum.
They will all be marshalled before Allah together: then will the weak say to those who were arrogant, "For us, we but followed you; can ye then avail us to all against the wrath of Allah?" They will reply, "If we had received the Guidance of Allah, we should have given it to you: to us it makes no difference (now) whether we rage, or bear (these torments) with patience: for ourselves there is no way of escape."
Shakir
And they shall all come forth before Allah, then the weak shall say to those who were proud: Surely we were your followers, can you therefore avert from us any part of the chastisement of Allah? They would say: If Allah had guided us, we too would have guided you; it is the same to us whether we are impatient (now) or patient, there is no place for us to fly to.
Deutsch
Und sie erscheinen alle vor Allah. Dann sagen die Schwachen zu denjenigen, die sich hochmütig verhielten: "Wir waren doch eure Gefolgsleute; könnt ihr uns nun vor Allahs Strafe etwas nützen?" Sie sagen: "Wenn Allah uns rechtgeleitet hätte, fürwahr, hätten (auch) wir euch rechtgeleitet. Gleich ist es in Bezug auf uns, ob wir ängstlich sind oder standhaft bleiben; es gibt für uns kein Entrinnen."
And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong - doers there must be a grievous penalty."
Shakir
And the Shaitan shall say after the affair is decided: Surely Allah promised you the promise of truth, and I gave you promises, then failed to keep them to you, and I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you obeyed me, therefore do not blame me but blame yourselves: I cannot be your aider (now) nor can you be my aiders; surely I disbelieved in your associating me with Allah before; surely it is the unjust that shall have the painful punishment.
Deutsch
Und der Satan sagt, nachdem die Angelegenheit entschieden ist: "Gewiß, Allah hat euch ein wahres Versprechen gegeben, und ich habe euch (etwas) versprochen, es aber dann gebrochen. Und ich hatte keine Macht über euch, außer daß ich euch gerufen habe und ihr auf mich gehört habt. So tadelt mich nicht, sondern tadelt euch selbst. Ich kann euch nicht zu Hilfe kommen, und ihr könnt mir nicht zu Hilfe kommen. Ich weise es ja von mir, daß ihr mich zuvor (Allah) beigesellt habt." Gewiß, für die Ungerechten gibt es schmerzhafte Strafe.
But those who believe and work righteousness will be admitted to gardens beneath which rivers flow, - to dwell therein for aye with the leave of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: "Peace!"

Seest thou not how Allah sets forth a parable? - A goodly word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens, - of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition.
