In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Chapter 104, 9 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
نار الله الموقدة
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Lo! it is closed in on them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In outstretched columns.
In columns outstretched.
في عمد ممددة
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
