I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
By those [angels] who extract with violence
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who drag forth to destruction,
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
Chapter 79, 46 verses
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
By those [angels] who extract with violence
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who drag forth to destruction,
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
And [by] those who remove with ease
By the meteors rushing,
und den leicht Herausziehenden
And by those who float in space,
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
By the lone stars floating,
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
And those who race each other in a race
By the angels hastening,
den allem Vorauseilenden,
Then those who regulate the affair.
And those who arrange [each] matter,
And those who govern the event,
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

On the day when the first trump resoundeth.
Am Tag, da das Zittern einsetzt

There will follow it the subsequent [one].
And the second followeth it,
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
On that day hearts beat painfully
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,
Their eyes cast down.
Their eyes humbled.
While eyes are downcast
und ihre Blicke werden demütig sein.
They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state
Sie sagen: "Sollen wir denn wirklich aus den Gräbern zurückgebracht werden?
What! when we are rotten bones?
Even if we should be decayed bones?
Even after we are crumbled bones ?
Wenn wir zu verrotteten Knochen geworden sind?"
They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.
Sie sagen: "Das wäre dann eine verlustreiche Wiederkehr."
But it shall be only a single cry,
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
Surely it will need but one shout,

And lo! they will be awakened.
und sogleich sind sie auf der Oberfläche.
