Chapter 101, 11 verses
Das Verhängnis!
The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:
The Striking Calamity -
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
Was ist das Verhängnis?
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
What is the Striking Calamity?
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
He will be in a pleasant life.
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -
But as for one whose scales are light,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
His refuge will be an abyss.
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
And what will explain to thee what this is?
And what can make you know what that is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
