Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
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,
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
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?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
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),
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which rises above the hearts.
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In extended columns.
In columns outstretched.
In extended columns.
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
