Chapter 102, 8 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you
Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
Until ye come to the graves.
bis ihr die Friedhöfe besucht.
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Nay! You shall come to know!
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Again nay! You shall come to know!
Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!
Keineswegs! Wenn ihr es nur mit dem Wissen der Gewißheit wüßtet!
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
For ye will behold hell - fire.
Ihr werdet ganz gewiß den Höllenbrand sehen.
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.
Abermals: Ihr werdet ihn mit dem Auge der Gewißheit sehen.
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
Hierauf werdet ihr an jenem Tag ganz gewiß nach der Wonne gefragt werden.
Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
