Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
The fire of Allah kindled,
Which rises above the hearts.
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
In extended columns.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
