Chapter 104, 9 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
The fire of Allah kindled,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Which leaps up over the hearts,
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Lo! it is closed in on them
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In outstretched columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
