In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Chapter 104, 9 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
نار الله الموقدة
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Lo! it is closed in on them
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In outstretched columns.
في عمد ممددة
In columns outstretched.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
