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