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