Chapter 104, 9 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
The fire of Allah kindled,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Which leaps up over the hearts,
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
It shall be made into a vault over them,
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In columns outstretched.
