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,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
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,
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Lo! it is closed in on them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
In outstretched columns.
In columns outstretched.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
