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).
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
Was ist das Verhängnis?
What is the striking (Hour)?
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
And what will make you know what the striking (Hour) is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
It is a Day whereon mankind will be like moths scattered about.
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
Then as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be heavy,
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise).
فَهُوَ فِى 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 مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
He will have his home in Hawiyah (pit, i.e. Hell).
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
And what will make you know what it is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
(It is) a fiercely blazing Fire!
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
