Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Which rises above the hearts.
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
It shall be made into a vault over them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In columns outstretched.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
In extended columns.
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
