By the Night as it conceals (the light);
By the night when it covers
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
By the night when it covers
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the Day as it appears in glory;
And [by] the day when it appears
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
والنهار إذا تجلى
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
And [by] He who created the male and female,

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

إن سعيكم لشتى
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
As for he who gives and fears Allah
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
فأما من أعطى واتقى
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
And believes in the best [reward],

We will ease him toward ease.

فسنيسره لليسرى
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.

وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Who had denied and turned away.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
الذي كذب وتولى
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
وسيجنبها الأتقى
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

ولسوف يرضى
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
