The Roman Empire has been defeated -

In a land close by; but they, (even) after (this) defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious -
im nächstliegenden Land. Aber sie werden nach ihrer Niederlage (selbst) siegen,
In the nearer land, and they, after their defeat will be victorious
Within a few years. With Allah is the Decision, in the past and in the Future: on that Day shall the Believers rejoice -
in einigen Jahren. Allah gehört der Befehl vorher und nachher. An jenem Tag werden die Gläubigen froh sein
Within ten years - Allah's is the command in the former case and in the latter - and in that day believers will rejoice
With the help of Allah. He helps whom He will, and He is exalted in might, most merciful.
über Allahs Hilfe. Er hilft, wem Er will, und Er ist der Allmächtige und Barmherzige.
In Allah's help to victory. He helpeth to victory whom He will. He is the Mighty, the Merciful.
(It is) the promise of Allah. Never does Allah depart from His promise: but most men understand not.
Das (ist) Allahs Versprechen. Allah bricht Sein Versprechen nicht, aber die meisten Menschen wissen nicht.
It is a promise of Allah. Allah faileth not His promise, but most of mankind know not.
They know but the outer (things) in the life of this world: but of the End of things they are heedless.
Sie kennen nur das Äußerliche vom diesseitigen Leben, während sie des Jenseits unachtsam sind.
They know only some appearance of the life of the world, and are heedless of the Hereafter.
Do they not reflect in their own minds? Not but for just ends and for a term appointed, did Allah create the heavens and the earth, and all between them: yet are there truly many among men who deny the meeting with their Lord (at the Resurrection)!
Denken sie denn nicht in ihrem Inneren (darüber) nach? Allah hat die Himmel und die Erde und was dazwischen ist nur in Wahrheit und (auf) eine festgesetzte Frist erschaffen. Aber viele von den Menschen verleugnen fürwahr die Begegnung mit ihrem Herrn.
Have they not pondered upon themselves ? Allah created not the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, save with truth and for a destined end. But truly many of mankind are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord.
Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? They were superior to them in strength: they tilled the soil and populated it in greater numbers than these have done: there came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs). (Which they rejected, to their own destruction): It was not Allah Who wronged them, but they wronged their own souls.
Sind sie denn nicht auf der Erde umhergereist, so daß sie schauen (konnten), wie das Ende derjenigen war, die vor ihnen waren? Sie hatten eine stärkere Kraft als sie, pflügten und bevölkerten das Land noch mehr, als sie es bevölkerten. Und ihre Gesandten kamen zu ihnen mit den klaren Beweisen. Aber nimmer ist es Allah, der ihnen Unrecht getan hat, sondern sie selbst haben sich Unrecht zugefügt.
Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them ? They were stronger than these in power, and they dug the earth and built upon it more than these have built. Messengers of their own came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty). Surely Allah wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves.
In the long run evil in the extreme will be the End of those who do evil; for that they rejected the Signs of Allah, and held them up to ridicule.
Hierauf war das Ende derjenigen, die Böses taten, das Schlechteste dafür, daß sie Allahs Zeichen für Lüge erklärt hatten und sich über sie lustig zu machen pflegten.
Then evil was the consequence to those who dealt in evil, because they denied the revelations of Allah and made a mock of them.

On the Day that the Hour will be established, the guilty will be struck dumb with despair.
Und am Tag, da sich die Stunde erhebt, werden die Übeltäter ganz verzweifelt sein.
And in the day when the Hour riseth the unrighteous will despair.
No intercessor will they have among their "Partners" and they will (themselves) reject their "Partners".
Sie haben dann an ihren Teilhabern keine Fürsprecher und werden ihre Teilhaber verleugnen.
There will be none to intercede for them of those whom they made equal with Allah. And they will reject their partners (whom they ascribed unto Him).
On the Day that the Hour will be established, - that Day shall (all men) be sorted out.
Am Tag, da sich die Stunde erhebt, an jenem Tag werden sie sich in (Gruppen) teilen.
In the day when the Hour cometh, in that day they will be sundered.

And those who have rejected Faith and falsely denied our Signs and the meeting of the Hereafter, - such shall be brought forth to Punishment.

But as for those who disbelieved and denied Our revelations, and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, such will be brought to doom.
So (give) glory to Allah, when ye reach eventide and when ye rise in the morning;
Preis sei daher Allah, wenn ihr den Abend erreicht und auch wenn ihr den Morgen erreicht!

Unto Him be praise in the heavens and the earth! - and at the sun's decline and in the noonday.
It is He Who brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living, and Who gives life to the earth after it is dead: and thus shall ye be brought out (from the dead).
Er bringt das Lebendige aus dem Toten und bringt das Tote aus dem Lebendigen hervor und macht die Erde nach ihrem Tod wieder lebendig. Und so werdet auch ihr hervorgebracht werden.
He bringeth forth the living from the dead, and He bringeth forth the dead from the living, and He reviveth the earth after her death. And even so will ye be brought forth.

And among His Signs, He shows you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope, and He sends down rain from the sky and with it gives life to the earth after it is dead: verily in that are Signs for those who are wise.

And among His Signs is this, that heaven and earth stand by His Command: then when He calls you, by a single call, from the earth, behold, ye (straightway) come forth.

It is He Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; and for Him it is most easy. To Him belongs the loftiest similitude (we can think of) in the heavens and the earth: for He is Exalted in Might, full of wisdom.
Und Er ist es, Der die Schöpfung am Anfang macht und sie hierauf wiederholt; das ist für Ihn noch leichter. Er hat die höchste Eigenschaft in den Himmeln und auf der Erde, und Er ist der Allmächtige und Allweise.
He it is Who produceth creation, then reproduceth it, and it is easier for Him. His is the Sublime Similitude in the heavens and the earth. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
He does propound to you a similitude from your own (experience): do ye have partners among those whom your right hands possess, to share as equals in the wealth We have bestowed on you? Do ye fear them as ye fear each other? Thus do we explain the Signs in detail to a people that understand.
Er prägt euch aus eurem eigenen (Lebens)bereich ein Gleichnis: Habt ihr denn (aus der Schar) unter denjenigen, die eure rechte Hand (an Sklaven) besitzt, Teilhaber an dem, womit Wir euch versorgt haben, so daß ihr darin gleich wäret und ihr sie fürchten müßtet, wie ihr einander fürchtet? So legen Wir die Zeichen ausführlich dar für Leute, die begreifen.
He coineth for you a similitude of yourselves. Have ye, from among those whom your right hands possess, partners in the wealth We have bestowed upon you, equal with you in respect thereof, so that ye fear them as ye fear each other (that ye ascribe unto Us partners out of that which We created) ? Thus We display the revelations for people who have sense.
Nay, the wrong - doers (merely) follow their own lusts, being devoid of knowledge. But who will guide those whom Allah leaves astray? To them there will be no helpers.
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die Unrecht tun, folgen ihren Neigungen ohne (richtiges) Wissen. Wer sollte rechtleiten, wen Allah in die Irre gehen läßt? Und sie haben keine Helfer.
Nay, but those who do wrong follow their own lusts without knowledge. Who is able to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray ? For such there are no helpers.
So set thou thy face steadily and truly to the Faith: (establish) Allah's handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made mankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by Allah: that is the standard Religion: but most among mankind understand not.
So richte dein Gesicht aufrichtig zur Religion hin als Anhänger des rechten Glaubens, - (gemäß) der natürlichen Anlage Allahs, in der Er die Menschen er schaffen hat. Keine Abänderung gibt es für die Schöpfung Allahs. Das ist die richtige Religion. Aber die meisten Menschen wissen nicht.
So set thy purpose (O Muhammad) for religion as a man by nature upright - the nature (framed) of Allah, in which He hath created man. There is no altering (the laws of) Allah's creation. That is the right religion, but most men know not -
Turn ye back in repentance to Him, and fear Him: establish regular prayers, and be not ye among those who join gods with Allah, -
(Haltet daran fest), indem ihr euch Ihm reuig zuwendet, und fürchtet Ihn und verrichtet das Gebet und gehört nicht zu den Götzendienern,
Turning unto Him (only); and be careful of your duty unto Him and establish worship, and be not of those who ascribe partners (unto Him);
Those who split up their Religion, and become (mere) Sects, - each party rejoicing in that which is with itself!
zu denjenigen, die ihre Religion spalteten und zu Lagern geworden sind, wobei jede Gruppierung froh ist über das, was sie bei sich hat.
Of those who split up their religion and became schismatics, each sect exulting in its tenets.
When trouble touches men, they cry to their Lord, turning back to Him in repentance: but when He gives them a taste of Mercy as from Himself, behold, some of them pay part - worship to other god's besides their Lord, -
Und wenn den Menschen Unheil widerfahrt, rufen sie ihren Herrn an, indem sie sich Ihm reuig zuwenden. Wenn Er sie hierauf Barmherzigkeit von Sich kosten läßt, gesellt sogleich eine Gruppe von ihnen ihrem Herrn (andere) bei,
And when harm toucheth men they cry unto their Lord, turning to Him in repentance; then, when they have tasted of His mercy, behold! some of them attribute partners to their Lord
(As if) to show their ingratitude for the (favours) We have bestowed on them! Then enjoy (your brief day); but soon will ye know (your folly).
um undankbar zu sein für das, was Wir ihnen gegeben haben. - Genießt nur; ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
So as to disbelieve in that which We have given them. (Unto such it is said): Enjoy yourselves awhile, but ye will come to know.
Or have We sent down authority to them, which points out to them the things to which they pay part - worship?
Oder haben Wir ihnen etwa eine Ermächtigung offenbart, die dann von dem spricht, was sie Ihm beigesellen?
Or have We revealed unto them any warrant which speaketh of that which they associate with Him ?
When We give men a taste of Mercy, they exult thereat: and when some evil afflicts them because of what their (own) hands have sent forth, behold, they are in despair!
Und wenn Wir die Menschen Barmherzigkeit kosten lassen, sind sie froh darüber. Wenn sie aber etwas Böses trifft für das, was ihre Hände vorausgeschickt haben, verlieren sie sogleich die Hoffnung.
And when We cause mankind to taste of mercy they rejoice therein; but if an evil thing befall them as the consequence of their own deeds, lo! they are in despair!
See they not that Allah enlarges the provision and restricts it, to whomsoever He pleases? Verily in that are Signs for those who believe.

See they not that Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who believe.
So give what is due to kindred, the needy, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the Countenance, of Allah, and it is they who will prosper.
So gib dem Verwandten sein Recht, ebenso dem Armen und dem Sohn des Weges'. Das ist besser für diejenigen, die Allahs Angesicht begehren. Und jene sind es, denen es wohl ergeht.
So give to the kinsman his due, and to the needy, and to the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek Allah's Countenance. And such are they who are .
That which ye lay out for increase through the property of (other) people, will have no increase with Allah: but that which ye lay out for charity, seeking the Countenance of Allah, (will increase): it is these who will get a recompense multiplied.
Und was ihr an Ausgaben aufwendet, damit sie sich aus dem Besitz der Menschen vermehren, sie vermehren sich nicht bei Allah. Was ihr aber an Abgaben entrichtet im Begehren nach Allahs Angesicht ... - das sind diejenigen, die das Vielfache erzielen.
That which ye give in usury in order that it may increase on (other) people's property hath no increase with Allah; but that which ye give in charity, seeking Allah's Countenance, hath increase manifold.
It is Allah Who has created you: further, He has provided for your sustenance; then He will cause you to die; and again He will give you life. Are there any of your (false) "Partners" who can do any single one of these things? Glory to Him! and high is He above the partners they attribute (to him)!
Allah ist es, Der euch erschaffen und dann versorgt hat. Hierauf läßt Er euch sterben, hierauf macht Er euch wieder lebendig. Gibt es unter euren Teilhabern einen, der irgend etwas von alledem tut? Preis sei Ihm! Erhaben ist Er über das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen.
Allah is He Who created you and then sustained you, then causeth you to die, then giveth life to you again. Is there any of your (so - called) partners (of Allah) that doeth aught of that ? Praised and Exalted be He above what they associate (with Him)!
Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that (Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil).
Unheil ist auf dem Festland und im Meer erschienen wegen dessen, was die Hände der Menschen erworben haben, damit Er sie einiges von dem kosten läßt, was sie getan haben, auf daß sie umkehren mögen.
Corruption doth appear on land and sea because of (the evil) which men's hands have done, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return.
Say: "Travel through the earth and see what was the end of those before (you): Most of them worshipped others besides Allah."
Sag: Reist auf der Erde umher und schaut, wie das Ende derjenigen zuvor war. Die meisten von ihnen waren Götzendiener.
Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): Travel in the land, and see the nature of the consequence for those who were before you! Most of them were idolaters.
But set thou thy face to the right Religion before there come from Allah the Day which there is no chance of averting: on that Day shall men be divided (in two).
So richte dein Gesicht aufrichtig zur richtigen Religion hin, bevor von Allah ein Tag kommt, der nicht zurückgewiesen wird
So set thy purpose resolutely for the right religion, before the inevitable day cometh from Allah. On that day mankind will be sundered -
Those who reject Faith will suffer from that rejection: and those who work righteousness will spread their couch (of repose) for themselves (in heaven):
Wer ungläubig ist, dessen Unglaube geht zu seinem (eigenen) Nachteil. Und wer rechtschaffen handelt, bereitet sich selbst die Lagerstatt vor,
Whoso disbelieveth must (then) bear the consequences of his disbelief, while those who do right make provision for themselves -
That He may reward those who believe and work righteous deeds, out of his Bounty. For He loves not those who reject Faith.
damit Er denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun, aus Seiner Huld vergelte. Gewiß, Er liebt nicht die Ungläubigen.
That He may reward out of His bounty those who believe and do good works. Lo! He loveth not the disbelievers (in His guidance).
Among His Signs is this, that He sends the Winds, as heralds of Glad Tidings, giving you a taste of His (Grace and) Mercy, - that the ships may sail (majestically) by His Command and that ye may seek of His Bounty: in order that ye may be grateful.
Und es gehört zu Seinen Zeichen, daß Er die Winde als Verkünder froher Botschaft (voraus)sendet, und damit Er euch etwas von Seiner Barmherzigkeit kosten läßt und damit die Schiffe auf Seinen Befehl fahren und damit ihr nach etwas von Seiner Huld trachtet, und auf daß ihr dankbar sein möget.
And of His signs is this: He sendeth herald winds to make you taste His mercy, and that the ships may sail at His command, and that ye may seek his favour, and that haply ye may be thankful.
We did indeed send, before thee, messengers to their (respective) peoples, and they came to them with Clear Signs: then, to those who transgressed, We meted out Retribution: and it was due from Us to aid those who believed.
Und Wir haben bereits vor dir Gesandte zu ihren (jeweiligen) Völkern gesandt. Sie kamen zu ihnen mit den klaren Beweisen. Da übten Wir Vergeltung an denjenigen, die Übeltaten begingen; und es war für Uns eine Pflicht, den Gläubigen zu helfen.
Verily We sent before thee (Muhammad) messengers to their own folk. Then we took vengeance upon those who were guilty (in regard to them). To help believers is ever incumbent upon Us.
It is Allah Who sends the Winds, and they raise the Clouds: then does He spread them in the sky as He wills, and break them into fragments, until thou seest rain - drops issue from the midst thereof: then when He has made them reach such of his servants as He wills behold, they do rejoice! -
Allah ist es, der die Winde sendet, und da wühlen sie die Wolken auf. Dann breitet Er sie im Himmel aus, wie Er will, und macht sie zu Stücken. Da siehst du den (Platz)regen dazwischen herauskommen. Wenn Er damit von Seinen Dienern, wen Er will, trifft, freuen sie sich sogleich,
Allah is He Who sendeth the winds so that they raise clouds, and spreadeth them along the sky as pleaseth Him, and causeth them to break and thou seest the rain downpouring from within them. And when He maketh it to fall on whom He will of His bondmen, lo! they rejoice;
Even though, before they received (the rain) - just before this - they were dumb with despair!
obwohl sie vorher, bevor (er) auf sie herabgesandt wurde, wahrlich ganz verzweifelt waren.
Though before that, even before it was sent down upon them, they were in despair.
Then contemplate (O man!) the memorials of Allah's Mercy! - how He gives life to the earth after its death: verily the same will give life to the men who are dead: for He has power over all things.
Schau doch auf die Spuren von Allahs Barmherzigkeit, wie Er die Erde nach ihrem Tod wieder lebendig macht. Er ist wahrlich Derjenige, Der (auch) die Toten wieder lebendig macht, und Er hat zu allem die Macht.
Look, therefore, at the prints of Allah's mercy (in creation): how He quickeneth the earth after her death. Lo! He verily is the Quickener of the Dead, and He is Able to do all things.
And if We (but) send a Wind from which they see (their tilth) turn yellow, - behold, they become, thereafter, Ungrateful (Unbelievers)!
Und wenn Wir einen Wind sendeten und sie dann alles gelb werden sähen, würden sie (trotzdem) danach fortfahren, ungläubig zu sein.
And if We sent a wind and they beheld it yellow, they verily would still continue in their disbelief.
So verily thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call, when they show their backs and turn away.
(Sei nicht traurig,) denn du kannst nicht die Toten hören lassen noch die Tauben den Ruf hören lassen, wenn sie den Rücken kehren.
For verily thou (Muhammad) canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to flee.
Nor canst thou lead back the blind from their straying: only those wilt thou make to hear, who believe in Our signs and submit (their wills in Islam).
Noch kannst du die Blinden aus ihrem Irrtum heraus rechtleiten. Hören lassen kannst du nur, wer an Unsere Zeichen glaubt und die somit (Allah) ergeben sind.
Nor canst thou guide the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none to hear save those who believe in Our revelations so that they surrender (unto Him).
It is Allah Who created you in a state of (helpless) weakness, then gave (you) strength after weakness, then, after strength, gave (you weakness and a hoary head: He creates as He wills, and it is He Who has all knowledge and power.
Allah ist es, der euch (zuerst) in Schwäche erschafft. Hierauf verleiht Er nach der Schwäche Kraft. Hierauf verleiht Er nach der Kraft Schwäche und weißes Haar. Er erschafft, was Er will, und Er ist der Allwissende und Allmächtige.
Allah is He Who shaped you out of weakness, then appointed after weakness strength, then, after strength, appointed weakness and grey hair. He createth what He will. He is the Knower, the Mighty.
On the Day that the Hour (of Reckoning) will be established, the transgressors will swear that they tarried not but an hour: thus were they used to being deluded!
Und am Tag, da sich die Stunde erhebt, schwören die Übeltäter, sie hätten nicht länger als eine Stunde verweilt. So pflegten sie sich (von der Wahrheit) abwendig machen zu lassen.
And on the day when the Hour riseth the guilty will vow that they did tarry but an hour - thus were they ever deceived.
But those endued with knowledge and faith will say: "Indeed ye did tarry, within Allah's Decree, to the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!"
Und diejenigen, denen Wissen und Glauben gegeben worden ist, sagen: "Nach Allahs Buch habt ihr bis zum Tag der Auferweckung verweilt. Das ist nun der Tag der Auferweckung, aber ihr wußtet (es) nicht."
But those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say: The truth is, ye have tarried, by Allah's decree, until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.
So on that Day no excuse of theirs will avail the transgressors, nor will they be invited (then) to seek grace (by repentance).
So wird an jenem Tag denjenigen, die Unrecht tun, ihre Entschuldigung nicht nützen, und es wird ihnen keine Gnade erwiesen.
In that day their excuses will not profit those who did injustice, nor will they be allowed to make amends.
verily We have propounded for men, in this Qur'an every kind of Parable: But if thou bring to them any Sign, the Unbelievers are sure to say, "Ye do nothing but talk vanities."
Wir haben ja den Menschen in diesem Qur'an allerlei Gleichnisse geprägt. Und wenn du zu ihnen mit einem Zeichen kommst, sagen ganz gewiß diejenigen, die ungläubig sind: "Ihr bringt nur Falsches."
Verily We have coined for mankind in this Qur'an all kinds of similitudes; and indeed if thou camest unto them with a miracle, those who disbelieve would verily exclaim: Ye are but tricksters!
Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who understand not.
So versiegelt Allah die Herzen derjenigen, die nicht Bescheid wissen.
Thus doth Allah seal the hearts of those who know not.
So patiently persevere: for verily the promise of Allah is true: nor let those shake thy firmness, who have (themselves) no certainty of faith.
So sei standhaft. Gewiß, Allahs Versprechen ist wahr. Und diejenigen, die nicht überzeugt sind, sollen dich ja nicht ins Wanken bringen.
So have patience (O Muhammad)! Allah's promise is the very truth, and let not those who have no certainty make thee impatient.
