Chapter 104, 9 verses
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which rises above the hearts.
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
In columns outstretched.
In extended columns.
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
