Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
The fire of Allah kindled,
نار الله الموقدة
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which leaps up over the hearts,
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
In columns outstretched.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
في عمد ممددة
