Chapter 100, 11 verses
Bei den schnaubend Rennenden,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the (steeds) that run, with panting.
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
den (mit ihren Hufen) Funken Schlagenden,
Striking sparks of fire (by their hooves).
Then those that produce fire striking,
den am Morgen Angreifenden,
And scouring to the raid at dawn.
Then those that make raids at morn,
die darin Staub aufwirbeln,
And raise the dust in clouds the while.
Then thereby raise dust,
die dann mitten in die Ansammlung eindringen!
And penetrating forthwith as one into the midst (of the foe).
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Der Mensch ist seinem Herrn gegenüber wahrlich undankbar,
Verily, man () is ungrateful to his Lord.
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
und er (selbst) ist darüber wahrlich Zeuge.
And to that he bears witness (by his deeds).
And most surely he is a witness of that.
Und er ist in seiner Liebe zum (eigenen) Besten wahrlich heftig.
And verily, he is violent in the love of wealth.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
Weiß er denn nicht? Wenn durchwühlt wird, was in den Gräbern ist,
Knows he not that when the contents of the graves are poured forth (all mankind is resurrected)?
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
und herausgeholt wird, was in den Brüsten ist,...
And that which is in the breasts (of men) is made known?
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
ihr Herr wird an jenem Tag ihrer wahrlich Kundig sein.
Verily, that Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) their Lord will be Well-Acquainted with them (as to their deeds and will reward them for their deeds).
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
