Chapter 104, 9 verses
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
نار الله الموقدة
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Which rises above the hearts.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Lo! it is closed in on them
in langgestreckten Säulen.
في عمد ممددة
In extended columns.
In outstretched columns.
