WOE unto every slanderer, fault-finder!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
وَيْلٌۭ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍۢ لُّمَزَةٍ
WOE unto every slanderer, fault-finder!
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًۭا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
[Woe unto him who amasses wealth and counts it a safeguard,
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
thinking that his wealth will make him live forever!
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
Nay, but [in the life to come such as] he shall indeed be abandoned to crushing torment!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
And what could make thee conceive what that crushing torment will be?
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
A fire kindled by God,
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
which will rise over the [guilty] hearts:
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌۭ
verily, it will close in upon them
فِى عَمَدٍۢ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
in endless columns!
