Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
The fire of Allah kindled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
Which leaps up over the hearts,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
It shall be made into a vault over them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
In columns outstretched.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
In extended columns.
