Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
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,
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
The fire of Allah kindled,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which rises above the hearts.
Which leaps up over the hearts,
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In columns outstretched.
In extended columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
