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.
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
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.
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
The fire of Allah kindled,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In columns outstretched.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
