Woe to every scorner and mocker
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ
نار الله الموقدة
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Lo! it is closed in on them
In extended columns.
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ
في عمد ممددة
In outstretched columns.
