Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
نار الله الموقدة
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
It shall be made into a vault over them,
In extended columns.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
في عمد ممددة
In columns outstretched.
