Chapter 104, 9 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Lo! it is closed in on them
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
It shall be made into a vault over them,
In outstretched columns.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
In columns outstretched.
