Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.

ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
The fire of Allah kindled,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which rises above the hearts.
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In extended columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
