Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Woe to every scorner and mocker
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.
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
The fire of Allah kindled,
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
Which rises above the hearts.
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
In extended columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
In extended columns.
