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
