Chapter 102, 8 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
bis ihr die Friedhöfe besucht.
Until ye come to the graves.
Nay! You shall come to know!
Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Again nay! You shall come to know!
Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
Keineswegs! Wenn ihr es nur mit dem Wissen der Gewißheit wüßtet!
Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
Ihr werdet ganz gewiß den Höllenbrand sehen.
For ye will behold hell - fire.
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
Abermals: Ihr werdet ihn mit dem Auge der Gewißheit sehen.
Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.
Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
Hierauf werdet ihr an jenem Tag ganz gewiß nach der Wonne gefragt werden.
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
