Chapter 104, 9 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
نار الله الموقدة
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Which rises above the hearts.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Lo! it is closed in on them
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
في عمد ممددة
In extended columns.
In outstretched columns.
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
