Woe to every scorner and mocker
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
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 last forever!
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
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 know what the crushing Fire is?
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
The fire of Allah kindled,
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Lo! it is closed in on them
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
In extended columns.
In outstretched columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
