Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
The fire of Allah kindled,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
Which rises above the hearts.
Which leaps up over the hearts,
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In extended columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
in langgestreckten Säulen.
