Abstrakt The first part of this article had already been published. It proposed a specific method for translating words and a general approach to translating text. This part of the article is based on six new translations of the Qur'an into German and examines the translations of the verses of Surah Hamad and the first 45 verses of Surah Al-Baqarah based on his proposed method. In total, 37 examples show that with the proposed basis, a translation closer to the text with more accurate equivalents can really be provided.

Abstrakt Every translation follows a certain approach which consists of a series of principles and a basic method. This idea also applies to the Translation of the Qur'an. The first point is to pay attention to the fact that the original meaning of Arabic words is first formed in tangible uses and then used in semantic changes for intangible purposes. On this basis, it is necessary to identify the tangible meaning of word roots and then search for this meaning in the Target Language. The examples and key terms mentioned in the first part of the article show that such an approach to understanding the Qur'an opens up new approaches from which a completely new translation of the Qur'an into German can be provided.
