Chapter 101, 11 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Al-Qari'ah (the striking Hour i.e. the Day of Resurrection).
The terrible calamity!
Das Verhängnis!
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
What is the striking (Hour)?
What is the terrible calamity!
Was ist das Verhängnis?
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
And what will make you know what the striking (Hour) is?
And what will make you comprehend what the terrible calamity is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
It is a Day whereon mankind will be like moths scattered about.
The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
Then as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be heavy,
Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise).
He shall live a pleasant life.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
But as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be light,
And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
He will have his home in Hawiyah (pit, i.e. Hell).
His abode shall be the abyss.
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
And what will make you know what it is?
And what will make you know what it is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
(It is) a fiercely blazing Fire!
A burning fire.
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
