Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
Which rises above the hearts.
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
Lo! it is closed in on them
In extended columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In outstretched columns.
