Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
Which rises above the hearts.
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
Lo! it is closed in on them
In extended columns.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ
In outstretched columns.
