By the ˹passage of˺ time! 103:1
Surely humanity is in ˹grave˺ loss, 103:2
except those who have faith, do good, and urge each other to the truth, and urge each other to perseverance. 103:3
Woe to every backbiter, slanderer, 104:1
who amasses wealth ˹greedily˺ and counts it ˹repeatedly˺, 104:2
thinking that their wealth will make them immortal! 104:3
Not at all! Such a person will certainly be tossed into the Crusher. 104:4
And what will make you realize what the Crusher is? 104:5
˹It is˺ Allah’s kindled Fire, 104:6
which rages over the hearts. 104:7
It will be sealed over them, 104:8
˹tightly secured˺ with long braces.1  104:9
Have you not seen ˹O Prophet˺ how your Lord dealt with the Army of the Elephant? 105:1
Did He not frustrate their scheme? 105:2
For He sent against them flocks of birds, 105:3
that pelted them with stones of baked clay, 105:4
leaving them like chewed up straw.1  105:5
