Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
نار الله الموقدة
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In extended columns.
In columns outstretched.
في عمد ممددة
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
