الـهمزة

1 Woe to every slanderer, defamer,

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,

2 Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);

2 Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.

3 He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.

3 He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.

4 Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,

4 Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.

5 And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?

5 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!

6 It is the fire kindled by Allah,

6 (It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,

7 Which rises above the hearts.

7 Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

8 Surely it shall be closed over upon them,

8 Lo! it is closed in on them

9 In extended columns.

9 In outstretched columns.
