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 (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
Lo! it is closed in on them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
In outstretched columns.
In columns outstretched.
