Woe to every scorner and mocker
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
The fire of Allah kindled,
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which leaps up over the hearts,
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In extended columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ
