Surah 104: 1             وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ

One gets into deep suffering from distress or grief, causing you to be fatigued and incapacitated; due to blaming and finding faults with others behind their backs and to their face; and inciting animosity between people.

104:1 Woe unto every backbiter, slanderer.

Surah 104: 2             الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ

Such a one has impulsive actions and is heedless, not obeying the guide to the right course; so possessing a feeling of horrified disapproval and a negative influence. The promise forgotten and covenant being a pastime, just play, as such it is vain and frivolous.

104:2 Whose efforts revolve around gathering material possessions and counting them.

104:2 He hoards money and counts it.

Surah 104: 4            كَلَّا لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ

Do not be weak and incapacitated and so caste it all away, as a thing valued highly being of no account. It is just like, to be among cattle having a shepherd who acts injuriously to them, causing them to crush and bruise one another.

104:4 Nay, He will be flung into the Shredder.

104:4 Never; he will be thrown into the Devastator.

104:4 Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.

104:4 By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,

104:4 Nay, but [in the life to come such as] he shall indeed be abandoned to crushing torment!

104:4 Never! He will be thrown into the Destroyer.

Surah 104: 5             وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ

And what severe calamity has befell you that despite seeing, you want to be like cattle having a shepherd who acts injuriously to all, causing them to crush and bruise one another.

104:5 Ah, what will convey to you what the Shredder is?

104:5 Do you know what the Devastator is?

104:5 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!

104:5 And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?

104:5 And what could make thee conceive what that crushing torment will be?

104:5 And do you know what is the Destroyer?

Surah 104: 6             نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ

104:6 GOD's blazing Hellfire.

104:6 (It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,

104:6 (It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),

104:6 A fire kindled by God,

104:6 God's kindled Fire.

Surah 104: 7             الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ

One who acts to tend and repair themselves out of distress and antipathy of mind? He acts with strength and vigour, how wonderful a thing.

104:7 That originates in, and engulfs, the hearts.

104:7 It burns them inside out.

104:7 Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

104:7 The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:

104:7 which will rise over the [guilty] hearts:

104:7 Which reaches the inside of the hearts.

104:8 They will be confined therein.

104:8 Lo! it is closed in on them

104:8 It shall be made into a vault over them,

104:8 verily, it will close in upon them

104:8 It will confine them therein.

Surah 104: 9             فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ

those that live as if being in a state, as the scattered mainstays of a collapsible shelter, (uprooted and without use, giving no support for the protection of their community), and in treating life as a pastime, living at play, as such as is vain and frivolous.
