In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Chapter 104, 9 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
The fire of Allah kindled,
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Which rises above the hearts.
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
In extended columns.
In extended columns.
