104. Sūrat Al-Humazah · The Traducer
Woe to every backbiter, slanderer,
Woe unto every slandering traducer,
WOE unto every slanderer, fault-finder!
Woe is to a slanderer backbiter.
Woe to everyone who slanders (face to face) and finds fault (in absence)
who amasses wealth ˹greedily˺ and counts it ˹repeatedly˺,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
[Woe unto him who amasses wealth and counts it a safeguard,
Who gathered wealth and kept it counted.
(Woe to him) who accumulates wealth and keeps counting it
thinking that their wealth will make them immortal!
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
thinking that his wealth will make him live forever!
Does he think that his wealth will make him immortal?
He thinks that his riches will keep him alive forever
Not at all! Such a person will certainly be tossed into the Crusher.
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Nay, but [in the life to come such as] he shall indeed be abandoned to crushing torment!
Never, he shall be surely thrown into the crusher.
By no means! He will certainly be cast into al-Hutama (the crushing up Fire)
And what will make you realize what the Crusher is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what could make thee conceive what that crushing torment will be?
And what made you known what is the crusher?
And what will make you understand what al-Hutama (the crushing up Fire) is
˹It is˺ Allah’s kindled Fire,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
A fire kindled by God,
Allah's fire that is blazing.
(It) is a Fire kindled by Allah
which rages over the hearts.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
which will rise over the [guilty] hearts:
One which shall rise over the hearts.
That will rise over the hearts (with its torture)
It will be sealed over them,
Lo! it is closed in on them
verily, it will close in upon them
Undoubtedly, it will be closer in on them.
Indeed, that (Fire) will be closed upon them all around
˹tightly secured˺ with long braces.
In outstretched columns.
in endless columns!
In long columns
In towering columns (of fierce flames and they will not find any way to escape)
