111. Sūrat Al-Masad · The Palm Fiber

May the hands of Abu Lahab perish, and he ˹himself˺ perish!

The power of Abu Lahab will perish, and he will perish.

DOOMED are the hands of him of the glowing countence: and doomed is he!

Perished be the two hands of Aby-Lahab and he is already perished.

Perished be the two hands of Abu Lahab and be he perished himself (he has pointed his finger to Our Beloved)

Neither his wealth nor ˹worldly˺ gains will benefit him.

His wealth and gains will not exempt him.

What will his wealth avail him, and all that he has gained?

His wealth and what he earned availed him not.

Neither His (inherited) wealth nor his earned riches have given him any benefit

He will burn in a flaming Fire,

He will be plunged in flaming Fire,

[In the life to come] he shall have to endure a fire fiercely glowing;

Now he enters into a blazing fire.

Soon he will tumble into the Flaming Fire

and ˹so will˺ his wife, the carrier of ˹thorny˺ kindling,

And his wife, the wood-carrier,

together with his wife, that carrier of evil tales,

And his wife too, carrier of firewood.

And his (damned, wretched) wife (too) who carries (on her head) the burden of (thorny) twigs (and spreads them in the way of Our Beloved, to injure the holy soles of his feet)

around her neck will be a rope of palm-fibre.

Will have upon her neck a halter of palm-fibre.

[who bears] around her neck a rope of twisted strands!

There is a rope of palm fiber in her neck.

Around her neck will be (the same) palm-fibre rope (she uses to bind the bunch of thorny twigs)
