Chapter 104, 9 verses
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
In extended columns.
In columns outstretched.
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
