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