Chapter 104, 9 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Which rises above the hearts.
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Lo! it is closed in on them
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In outstretched columns.
In extended columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
