Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
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,
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
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?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
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),
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In extended columns.
In columns outstretched.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
