بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Chapter 104, 9 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ
In columns outstretched.
In extended columns.
