In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Chapter 104, 9 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
The fire of Allah kindled,
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Lo! it is closed in on them
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
In outstretched columns.
In extended columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
