Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
The fire of Allah kindled,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which rises above the hearts.
Which leaps up over the hearts,
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In extended columns.
In extended columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
