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