Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
نار الله الموقدة
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In columns outstretched.
In extended columns.
في عمد ممددة
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
