In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
When the sky has split [open]
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And when the earth is spread out
And when the earth has been extended
Waitha alardu muddat
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...

He will be judged with an easy account
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
And will return unto his folk in joy.
And return to his people in happiness.
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
But whoso is given his account behind his back,

He will cry out for destruction

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

What aileth them, then, that they believe not
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
But those who have disbelieved deny,

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
