Chapter 79, 46 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who drag forth to destruction,
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;
By those [angels] who extract with violence
By the meteors rushing,
und den leicht Herausziehenden
By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);
And [by] those who remove with ease
By the lone stars floating,
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
By the angels hastening,
den allem Vorauseilenden,
Then press forward as in a race,
And those who race each other in a race
And those who govern the event,
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),
And those who arrange [each] matter,
On the day when the first trump resoundeth.
Am Tag, da das Zittern einsetzt
One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
And the second followeth it,
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
Followed by oft - repeated (commotions):
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
On that day hearts beat painfully
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,
Hearts that Day will be in agitation;
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
While eyes are downcast
und ihre Blicke werden demütig sein.

Even after we are crumbled bones ?
Wenn wir zu verrotteten Knochen geworden sind?"

Even if we should be decayed bones?
They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.
Sie sagen: "Das wäre dann eine verlustreiche Wiederkehr."
They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
Surely it will need but one shout,
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein,
But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
And lo! they will be awakened.
und sogleich sind sie auf der Oberfläche.
