Chapter 102, 8 verses
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
Until you visit the graveyards.
bis ihr die Friedhöfe besucht.
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
No! You are going to know.
Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Nay! You shall come to know!
Then no! You are going to know.
Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Again nay! You shall come to know!
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
Keineswegs! Wenn ihr es nur mit dem Wissen der Gewißheit wüßtet!
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
You will surely see the Hellfire.
Ihr werdet ganz gewiß den Höllenbrand sehen.
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
Abermals: Ihr werdet ihn mit dem Auge der Gewißheit sehen.
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
Hierauf werdet ihr an jenem Tag ganz gewiß nach der Wonne gefragt werden.
Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
