Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Which rises above the hearts.
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Lo! it is closed in on them
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In extended columns.
In outstretched columns.
In extended columns.
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
