In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every scorner and mocker
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
نار الله الموقدة
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
It shall be made into a vault over them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Lo! it is closed in on them
In columns outstretched.
في عمد ممددة
In extended columns.
In outstretched columns.
