Chapter 104, 9 verses
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Which rises above the hearts.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
It shall be made into a vault over them,
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In extended columns.
In columns outstretched.
