Nein! Ich schwöre bei der Seele, die sich selbst tadelt.
Does man (a ) think that We shall not assemble his bones?

He asks: "When will be this Day of Resurrection?"
Yasalu ayyana yawmu alqiyamati
يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ
Er fragt: "Wann wird bloß der Tag der Auferstehung sein?"
So, when the sight shall be dazed.
Faitha bariqa albasaru
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ
Wenn dann der Blick verwirrt ist
And the moon will be eclipsed.
Wakhasafa alqamaru
وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ
und der Mond sich verfinstert
And the sun and moon will be joined together (by going one into the other or folded up or deprived of their light).
WajumiAAa alshshamsu waalqamaru
وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ
und Sonne und Mond zusammengebracht werden,
On that Day man will say: "Where (is the refuge) to flee?"

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ

It is for Us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) the ability to recite it (the Qur'an).
Inna AAalayna jamAAahu waquranahu
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ
Hierauf obliegt es Uns, ihn klar darzulegen.
Not [as you think, that you (mankind) will not be resurrected and recompensed for your deeds], but you (men) love the present life of this world,
Kalla bal tuhibboona alAAajilata
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ
Keineswegs! Vielmehr liebt ihr das schnell Eintreffende,
And neglect the Hereafter.
Watatharoona alakhirata
وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ
und laßt das Jenseits (außer acht).
Some faces that Day shall be Nadirah (shining and radiant).
Wujoohun yawmaithin nadiratun
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ
(Die einen) Gesichter werden an jenem Tag strahlen,
Looking at their Lord (Allah).
Ila rabbiha nathiratun
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ
zu ihrem Herrn schauen.
And some faces, that Day, will be Basirah (dark, gloomy, frowning, and sad),
Wawujoohun yawmaithin basiratun
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ

Thinking that some calamity is about to fall on them.
Tathunnu an yufAAala biha faqiratun
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ

Kalla itha balaghati alttaraqiya
كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ
Keineswegs! Wenn sie das Schlüsselbein erreicht
And it will be said: "Who can cure him (and save him from death)?"
Waqeela man raqin
وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ
und gesagt wird: "Wer ist ein Zauberer (, der ihn retten kann)?",
And he (the dying person) will conclude that it was (the time) of parting (death);
Wathanna annahu alfiraqu
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ
und wenn er meint, daß es (jetzt) die Trennung sei,
And one leg will be joined with another leg (shrouded).
Wailtaffati alssaqu bialssaqi
وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ
und wenn (bei ihm) sich das eine Bein um das andere legt,
The drive will be, on that Day, to your Lord (Allah)!
Ila rabbika yawmaithin almasaqu
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ
zu deinem Herrn wird an jenem Tag das Treiben sein.
So he (the ) neither believed (in this Qur'an and in the Message of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) nor prayed!
Fala saddaqa wala salla
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
Doch hielt er nicht (die Botschaft) für wahr noch betete er,
But on the contrary, he belied (this Qur'an and the Message of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) and turned away!
Walakin kaththaba watawalla
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
sondern er erklärte (sie) für Lüge, und er kehrte sich ab.
Then he walked in conceit (full pride) to his family admiring himself!
Thumma thahaba ila ahlihi yatamatta
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّىٰ
Hierauf ging er zu seinen Angehörigen, stolzierend.
Woe to you [O man ()]! And then (again) woe to you!
Awla laka faawla
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ
- "Wehe dir, ja wehe!
Again, woe to you [O man ()]! And then (again) woe to you!
Thumma awla laka faawla
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ
Abermals: Wehe dir, ja wehe!"
Does man think that he will be left neglected (without being punished or rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord Allah on him)?
Ayahsabu alinsanu an yutraka sudan
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
Meint der Mensch (etwa), daß er außer acht gelassen wird?
Was he not a Nutfah (mixed male and female sexual discharge) of semen emitted (poured forth)?
Alam yaku nutfatan min manayyin yumna
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَىٰ
Ist er nicht ein Tropfen von Samenflüssigkeit, die ausgespritzt wird,
Then he became an 'Alaqah (a clot); then (Allah) shaped and fashioned (him) in due proportion.
Thumma kana AAalaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwa
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
hierauf ein Anhängsel gewesen? Da hat Er erschaffen und zurechtgeformt
And made of him two sexes, male and female.
FajaAAala minhu alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
und dann daraus beide Teile des Paares gemacht, das Männliche und das Weibliche.
Is not He (Allah Who does that) Able to give life to the dead? (Yes! He is Able to do all things).
Alaysa thalika biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ
Hat dieser (Gott) nicht die Macht, die Toten wieder lebendig zu machen?
