Chapter 101, 11 verses
Das Verhängnis!
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Al-Qari'ah (the striking Hour i.e. the Day of Resurrection).
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْقَارِعَةُ
Was ist das Verhängnis?
What is the striking (Hour)?
مَا الْقَارِعَةُ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
And what will make you know what the striking (Hour) is?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
It is a Day whereon mankind will be like moths scattered about.
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
Then as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be heavy,
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise).
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
But as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be light,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
He will have his home in Hawiyah (pit, i.e. Hell).
فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
And what will make you know what it is?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
(It is) a fiercely blazing Fire!
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ
