ما القارعة
What is the terrible calamity!
What is the Striking Calamity?
Was ist das Verhängnis?
وما أدراك ما القارعة

And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?

يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
فهو في عيشة راضية
He shall live a pleasant life.
He will be in a pleasant life.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
وأما من خفت موازينه
And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
But as for one whose scales are light,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
فأمه هاوية
His abode shall be the abyss.
His refuge will be an abyss.
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
وما أدراك ما هيه

And what can make you know what that is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?

A burning fire.
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
