Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
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 Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ
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
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ
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
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ
The fire of Allah kindled,
Which rises above the hearts.
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
In extended columns.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
