| In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. [103.1] I swear by the time, [103.2] Most surely man is in loss, [103.3] Except those who believe and do good, and enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other patience. |
103 – The Age
104 – The Slanderer
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[104.1] Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
[104.2] Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
[104.3] He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
[104.4] Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
[104.5] And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
[104.6] It is the fire kindled by Allah,
[104.7] Which rises above the hearts.
[104.8] Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
[104.9] In extended columns.
105 – The Elephant
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[105.1] Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with the possessors of the elephant?
[105.2] Did He not cause their war to end in confusion,
[105.3] And send down (to prey) upon them birds in flocks,
[105.4] Casting against them stones of baked clay,
[105.5] So He rendered them like straw eaten up?
