Chapter 104, 9 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Which rises above the hearts.
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Lo! it is closed in on them
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
In outstretched columns.
In extended columns.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
