Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
Which rises above the hearts.
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
Lo! it is closed in on them
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
In extended columns.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
In outstretched columns.
In extended columns.
