Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
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.
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.
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?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
The fire of Allah kindled,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which rises above the hearts.
Which leaps up over the hearts,
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In extended columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
