Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
Waallathee qaddara fahada
und Der das Maß festsetzt und dann rechtleitet

And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,

He who fears will mind,

Meiden aber wird es der Unseligste,
And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,

In which they will then neither die nor live.
Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya
darin wird er hierauf weder sterben noch leben.
Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
But those will prosper who purify themselves,

Wohl ergehen wird es ja jemandem, der sich läutert,
He indeed shall be who purifies himself,

den Blättern Ibrahims und Musas.
