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,
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
bis ihr die Friedhöfe besucht.
Until you visit the graveyards.
Nay! You shall come to know!
Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
No! You are going to know.
Again nay! You shall come to know!
Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Then no! You are going 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!
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
Ihr werdet ganz gewiß den Höllenbrand sehen.
You will surely see the Hellfire.
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
Abermals: Ihr werdet ihn mit dem Auge der Gewißheit sehen.
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
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 you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
