Bei den sich reihenweise Reihenden,
وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّا
And so are strong in repelling (evil),
Then those who drive away with reproof,

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا
And thus proclaim the Message (of Allah)!
Then those who recite, being mindful,
dann den eine Ermahnung Verlesenden!

Frage sie doch um ihre Meinung: Ist es etwa schwerer, sie zu erschaffen als wen Wir (sonst) erschaffen
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍۭ

They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire.
Sie sagten: "Errichtet für ihn einen Bau und werft ihn in den Feuersbrand."
قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ
(This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated!
And they desired a war against him, but We brought them low.
Sie wollten mit einer List gegen ihn vorgehen, doch da machten Wir sie zu den Unterlegenen.
فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ
He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me!
And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me.
Er sagte: "Gewiß, ich gehe zu meinem Herrn; Er wird mich rechtleiten.
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ
"O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"
My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds.
Mein Herr, schenke mir einen von den Rechtschaffenen."
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.
So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance.
Da verkündeten Wir ihm einen nachsichtigen Jungen.
فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ
Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.
Als dieser das Alter erreichte, daß er mit ihm laufen konnte, sagte er: "O mein lieber Sohn, ich sehe im Schlaf, daß ich dich schlachte. Schau jetzt, was du (dazu) meinst." Er sagte: "O mein lieber Vater, tu, was dir befohlen wird. Du wirst mich, wenn Allah will, als einen der Standhaften finden."
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِ
So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,
Als sie sich beide ergeben gezeigt hatten und er ihn auf die Seite der Stirn niedergeworfen hatte,
فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ
We called out to him "O Abraham!
And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!
riefen Wir ihm zu: "O Ibrahim,
وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ
"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:
du hast das Traumgesicht bereits wahr gemacht." Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
For this was obviously a trial -
Most surely this is a manifest trial.
Das ist wahrlich die deutliche Prüfung.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ
And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.
Und Wir lösten ihn mit einem großartigen Schlachtopfer aus.
وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
Peace be on Ibrahim.
Friede sei auf Ibrahim!
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Thus do We reward the doers of good.
So vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet, - one of the Righteous.
And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.
Und Wir verkündeten ihm Ishaq als einen Propheten von den Rechtschaffenen.
وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls.
Und Wir segneten ihn und Ishaq. Unter ihrer Nachkommenschaft gibt es manche, die Gutes tun, und manche, die sich selbst offenkundig Unrecht zufügen.
وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ
Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,
And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.
Und Wir erwiesen bereits Musa und Harun eine Wohltat
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;
And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.
und erretteten sie beide und ihr Volk aus der großen Trübsal.
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);
And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
Und Wir halfen ihnen, da waren sie es, die Sieger wurden.
وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.
Und Wir gaben ihnen beiden die verdeutlichende Schrift
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ
And We guided them to the Straight Way.
And We guided them both on the right way.
und leiteten sie den geraden Weg.
وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ
And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.
Und Wir ließen für beide (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"
Peace be on Musa and Haroun.
Friede sei auf Musa und Harun!
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
For they were two of our believing Servants.
Surely they were both of Our believing servants.
Sie beide gehören ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.
Auch Ilyas gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?
Als er zu seinem Volk sagte: "Wollt ihr nicht gottesfürchtig sein?
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators, -
What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,
Wie könnt ihr Bacl anrufen und den besten Schöpfer verlassen,
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
Allah, euren Herrn und den Herrn eurer Vorväter?"
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment), -
But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.
Da bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge. So werden sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden,
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
Peace be on Ilyas.
Friede sei auf Ilyas!
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).
And Lut was most surely of the apostles.
Auch Lut gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
When We delivered him and his followers, all - -
Als Wir ihn und seine Angehörigen allesamt erretteten,
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.
außer einer alten Frau unter denjenigen, die zurückblieben.
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ
Then We destroyed the rest.
Then We destroyed the others.
Hierauf vertilgten Wir die anderen.
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day -
And most surely you pass by them in the morning,
Ihr kommt ja an ihnen vorbei, bei Tagesanbruch
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ
And by night: will ye not understand?
And at night; do you not then understand?
und bei Nacht. Begreift ihr denn nicht?'
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).
And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.
Auch Yunus gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
When he ran away to a ship completely laden,
Als er zum vollbeladenen Schiff davonlief.
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.
Er warf Lose und wurde einer der Unterlegenen.
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ
Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself
Da verschlang ihn der (große) Fisch", während er sich Tadel zugezogen hatte.
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),
Und hätte er nicht zu denjenigen gehört, die (Allah) preisen,
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ
He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.
hätte er wahrlich in seinem Bauch verweilt bis zu dem Tag, an dem sie auferweckt werden.
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.
Da warfen Wir ihn auf das kahle Land -, und dabei war er krank.
فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ
And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.
Und Wir ließen eine Kürbisstaude über ihm wachsen.
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ
And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded.
Und Wir sandten ihn zu Hunderttausend oder sogar noch mehr.
وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.
Da glaubten sie, und so gewährten Wir ihnen Nießbrauch auf Zeit.
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ
Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons? -
Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.
Frage sie doch nach ihrer Meinung: Gehören deinem Herrn etwa die Töchter und ihnen die Söhne?
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
Oder haben Wir die Engel als weibliche Wesen erschaffen, während sie anwesend waren?
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
Dabei ist es fürwahr aus ihrer ungeheuren Lügenhaftigkeit, daß sie sagen:
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!
Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.
"Allah hat gezeugt." Wahrlich, sie sind Lügner.
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?
Hat Er die Töchter vor den Söhnen auserwählt?
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?
Was ist mit euch? Wie urteilt ihr?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Will ye not then receive admonition?
Will you not then mind?
Bedenkt ihr denn nicht?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Or have ye an authority manifest?
Or have you a clear authority?
Oder habt ihr eine deutliche Ermächtigung?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ
Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
Then bring your book, if you are truthful.
Bringt doch eure Schrift bei, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
And they have invented a blood - relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment - Seat)!
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;
Und sie stellen zwischen Ihm und den Ginn eine Verwandtschaft her. Aber die Ginn wissen ja, daß sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;
Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,
سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship -
So surely you and what you worship,
Ihr aber und das, dem ihr dient,
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,
Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,
könnt niemanden gegen Ihn verfuhren,
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ
Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!
Save him who will go to hell.
außer denjenigen, der dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt wird.
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
Und es gibt niemanden unter uns, der nicht einen bestimmten Platz hätte.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
And there were those who said,
And surely they used to say:
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
Had we a reminder from those of yore,
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
We would certainly have been the servants of Allah - - the purified ones.
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.
Dennoch verleugnen sie Ihn. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:
Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
That they would certainly be assisted,
Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
Therefore turn away from them till a time,
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
And turn away from them till a time
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
And (then) see, for they too shall see.
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
Preis sei deinem Herrn, dem Herrn der Macht! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
And Peace on the messengers!
And peace be on the apostles.
Und Friede sei auf den Gesandten!
وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
