Wenn er aber zu den Leugnern, den Irregehenden gehört,
But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
Then the welcome will be boiling water
dann wird ihm eine gastliche Aufnahme aus heißem Wasser (zuteil) werden,
Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
And roasting at hell - fire.

Lo! this is certain truth.
Dies ist wahrlich die reine Gewißheit.
Indeed, this is the true certainty,
