Chapter 104, 9 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
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 last forever!
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
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 know what the crushing Fire is?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
The fire of Allah kindled,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Which leaps up over the hearts,
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Lo! it is closed in on them
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In outstretched columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
in langgestreckten Säulen.
