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