Woe to every scorner and mocker
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
The fire of Allah kindled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which leaps up over the hearts,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
It shall be made into a vault over them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In extended columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
In columns outstretched.
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
