يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden

And the mountains will be like carded wool.

Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,

Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
فهو في عيشة راضية
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.

Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.

dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.

Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
Raging Fire.
