Al Humaza

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,

1 Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin

2 Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.

2 Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu

3 He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.

3 Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu

4 Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.

4 Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati

5 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!

5 Wama adraka ma alhutamatu

6 (It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,

6 Naru Allahi almooqadatu

7 Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

7 Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati

8 Lo! it is closed in on them

8 lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun

9 In outstretched columns.

9 Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
