Werden wir tatsächlich nicht mehr sterben,
"Except our first death, and that we shall not be punished?"
Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? (after we have entered Paradise)."

Das ist doch wahrlich der großartige Erfolg!
For the like of this let all strive, who wish to strive.
For the like of this let the workers work.
Für ein Solches sollen diejenigen, die handeln, (ihre Werke) tun.
Is that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqqum?
Is that (Paradise) better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum (a horrible tree in Hell)?

Hierauf erhalten sie fürwahr eine Mischung von heißem Wasser.
Then shall their return be to the (Blazing) Fire.
Then thereafter, verily, their return is to the flaming fire of Hell.

Sie haben ja ihre Väter im Irrtum vorgefunden,
So they (too) were rushed down on their footsteps!
So they (too) hastened in their footsteps!
und so sind sie auf ihren Spuren eilig getrieben worden.
And truly before them, many of the ancients went astray; -
And indeed most of the men of old went astray before them;
Vor ihnen sind bereits die meisten der Früheren abgeirrt,
But We sent aforetime, among them, (messengers) to admonish them; -
And indeed We sent among them warners (Messengers);
und Wir sandten ja zu ihnen Überbringer von Warnungen.
Then see what was the end of those who were admonished (but heeded not), -

(In the days of old), Noah cried to Us, and We are the best to hear prayer.
And indeed Nuh (Noah) invoked Us, and We are the Best of those who answer (the request).
Und Nuh rief Uns ja bereits zu - welch trefflicher Erhörer sind Wir fürwahr!
And We delivered him and his people from the Great Calamity,
And We rescued him and his family from the great distress (i.e. drowning),

und machten seine Nachkommenschaft zu denjenigen, die Fortbestand haben.
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times:
And left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations:
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations!"
"Salam (peace) be upon Nuh (Noah) (from Us) among the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!"
Friede sei auf Nuh unter den Weltenbewohnern!
Thus indeed do we reward those who do right.
Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See V.2:112).
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Verily, he [Nuh (Noah)] was one of Our believing slaves.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
Then the rest we overwhelmed in the Flood.
Then We drowned the others (disbelievers and polytheists).

Verily among those who followed his Way was Abraham.
And, verily, among those who followed his [Nuh's (Noah)] way (Islamic Monotheism) was Ibrahim (Abraham).
Zu seiner Gemeinde gehörte fürwahr Ibrahim.
Behold! he approached his Lord with a sound heart.
When he came to his Lord with a pure heart [attached to Allah Alone and none else, worshipping none but Allah Alone - true Islamic Monotheism, pure from the filth of polytheism].
Als er zu seinem Herrn mit heilem Herzen kam.
Behold! he said to his father and to his people, "What is that which ye worship?

Als er zu seinem Vater und seinem Volk sagte: "Wem dient ihr da?
"Is it a falsehood - gods other than Allah - that ye desire?
"Is it a falsehood - alihah (gods) other than Allah - that you desire?
Wollt ihr außer Allah falsche Götter haben?
"Then what is your idea about the Lord of the worlds?"
"Then what think you about the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn, and all that exists)?"
Welche Meinung habt ihr denn vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner?"
Then did he cast a glance at the Stars.
Then he cast a glance at the stars,
Dann warf er einen Blick zu den Sternen
And he said, "I am indeed sick (at heart)!"
And he said: "Verily, I am sick (with plague). [He did this trick to remain in their temple of idols to destroy them and not to accompany them to the pagan feast)]."
und sagte: "Gewiß, ich bin krank."
So they turned away from him, and departed.
So they turned away from him, and departed (for fear of the disease).
Da kehrten sie ihm den Rücken.
Then did he turn to their gods and said, "will ye not eat (of the offerings before you)?...

Then he turned upon them, striking (them) with (his) right hand.
Und er wandte sich gegen sie und schlug auf sie mit der Rechten ein.
Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps, and faced (him).
Then they (the worshippers of idols) came, towards him, hastening.
Da kamen sie auf ihn zugeeilt.
He said: "Worship ye that which ye have (yourselves) carved?
He said: "Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve?
Er sagte: "Wie könnt ihr denn dem dienen, was ihr selbst aushaut,
"But Allah has created you and your handwork!"
"While Allah has created you and what you make!"
wo doch Allah euch und das, was ihr tut, erschaffen hat?"
They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!"
They said: "Build for him a building (it is said that the building was like a furnace) and throw him into the blazing fire!"
Sie sagten: "Errichtet für ihn einen Bau und werft ihn in den Feuersbrand."
(This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated!
So they plotted a plot against him, but We made them the lowest.
Sie wollten mit einer List gegen ihn vorgehen, doch da machten Wir sie zu den Unterlegenen.
He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me!
And he said (after his rescue from the fire): "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me!"
Er sagte: "Gewiß, ich gehe zu meinem Herrn; Er wird mich rechtleiten.
"O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"
"My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous."
Mein Herr, schenke mir einen von den Rechtschaffenen."
So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.
So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.
Da verkündeten Wir ihm einen nachsichtigen Jungen.
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 (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offering you in sacrifice to Allah). So look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Insha' Allah (if Allah wills), you shall find me of As-Sabirun (the patient)."
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."
So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering);
Als sie sich beide ergeben gezeigt hatten und er ihn auf die Seite der Stirn niedergeworfen hatte,
We called out to him "O Abraham!
We called out to him: "O Abraham!
riefen Wir ihm zu: "O Ibrahim,
"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
You have fulfilled the dream!" Verily thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See 2:112).
du hast das Traumgesicht bereits wahr gemacht." Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
For this was obviously a trial -
Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial.
Das ist wahrlich die deutliche Prüfung.
And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:

And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet, - one of the Righteous.
And We gave him the glad tidings of Ishaq (Isaac) - a Prophet from the righteous.

We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
We blessed him and Ishaq (Isaac). And of their progeny are (some) that do right, and some that plainly wrong themselves.

Und Wir ließen für beide (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"

So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
And verily, Iliyas (Elias) was one of the Messengers.

When he said to his people: "Will you not fear Allah?
Als er zu seinem Volk sagte: "Wollt ihr nicht gottesfürchtig sein?
"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators, -
"Will you call upon Ba'l (a well known idol of his nation whom they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators,
Wie könnt ihr Bacl anrufen und den besten Schöpfer verlassen,
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
"Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"
Allah, euren Herrn und den Herrn eurer Vorväter?"
But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment), -
But they denied him [Iliyas (Elias)], so they will certainly be brought forth (to the punishment),
Da bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge. So werden sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden,
Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
Except the chosen slaves of Allah.
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.

But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick,
Da warfen Wir ihn auf das kahle Land -, und dabei war er krank.
And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
And We caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.
Und Wir ließen eine Kürbisstaude über ihm wachsen.
And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
And We sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or even more.
Und Wir sandten ihn zu Hunderttausend oder sogar noch mehr.
And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
And they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.
Da glaubten sie, und so gewährten Wir ihnen Nießbrauch auf Zeit.
Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons? -
Now ask them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"
Frage sie doch nach ihrer Meinung: Gehören deinem Herrn etwa die Töchter und ihnen die Söhne?
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
Or did We create the angels female while they were witnesses?
Oder haben Wir die Engel als weibliche Wesen erschaffen, während sie anwesend waren?
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:
Dabei ist es fürwahr aus ihrer ungeheuren Lügenhaftigkeit, daß sie sagen:
"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!
"Allah has begotten [offspring - the angels being the daughters of Allah)?" And, verily, they are liars!
"Allah hat gezeugt." Wahrlich, sie sind Lügner.
Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?
Hat Er die Töchter vor den Söhnen auserwählt?
What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
What is the matter with you? How do you decide?
Was ist mit euch? Wie urteilt ihr?
Will ye not then receive admonition?
Will you not then remember?
Bedenkt ihr denn nicht?
Or have ye an authority manifest?
Or is there for you a plain authority?
Oder habt ihr eine deutliche Ermächtigung?
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.
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 have invented a kinship between Him and the jinn, but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be called to account).
Und sie stellen zwischen Ihm und den Ginn eine Verwandtschaft her. Aber die Ginn wissen ja, daß sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden
Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
Glorified be Allah! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!
Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,
Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
Except the slaves of Allah, whom He chooses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islamic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allah).
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship -
So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols)
Ihr aber und das, dem ihr dient,
Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,
Cannot lead astray [turn away from Him (Allah) anyone of the believers],
könnt niemanden gegen Ihn verfuhren,
Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!
Except those who are predestined to burn in Hell!
außer denjenigen, der dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt wird.
(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
And there is not one of us (angels) but has his known place (or position);
Und es gibt niemanden unter uns, der nicht einen bestimmten Platz hätte.
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
And verily, we (angels), we stand in rows (for the prayers as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers);
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
And verily, we (angels), indeed are those who glorify (Allah's Praises i.e. perform prayers).
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
And there were those who said,
And indeed they (Arab pagans) used to say:
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
"If we had a reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم as a Messenger of Allah),
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
"We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allah (true believers of Islamic Monotheism)!"
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
But (now that the Qur'an has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Qur'an and in Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم , and all that he brought, - the Divine Revelation), so they will come to know!
Dennoch verleugnen sie Ihn. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers,
Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
That they would certainly be assisted,
That they verily would be made triumphant,
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
And that Our hosts! they verily would be the victors.
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
So turn away (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from them for a while,
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
And watch them and they shall see (the punishment)!
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
Do they seek to hasten on Our Torment?
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
Then, when it descends in their courtyard (i.e. near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
So turn (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) away from them for a while,
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
And watch and they shall see (the torment)!
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!
Preis sei deinem Herrn, dem Herrn der Macht! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
And Peace on the messengers!
And peace be on the Messengers!
Und Friede sei auf den Gesandten!
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
And all the praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
