Surah “The Fame”

as rendered by Syed Vickar Ahamed — 5 verses

Perish the hands of the Father of Flame (Abu’-Lahab)! Perish he
(There is) no benefit to him (in the Hereafter) from all his wealth, and from all his gains
Soon he will be burnt in a Fire of burning Flame
And his wife shall carry the (crackling) wood, as fuel
A twisted rope of palm-leaf fiber around her (own) neck
