The Traducer

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[104:1]

Woe unto every slandering traducer,

[104:2]

Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.

[104:3]

He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.

[104:4]

Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.

[104:5]

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!

[104:6]

(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,

[104:7]

Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

[104:8]

Lo! it is closed in on them

[104:9]

In outstretched columns.
