Chapter 101, 11 verses
Das Verhängnis!
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Calamity!
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
Was ist das Verhängnis?
What is the Calamity ?
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
He will live a pleasant life.
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
But as for him whose scales are light,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
Raging Fire.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
