Surah “Al-Masad”
(Palm fibers)


Bismil-laahi rrahmaani rrahiim.
Tabbat yadaa Abi lahabiu va tabb. Maa agna ‘anhu maaluhu va maa kasab. Sayasla naaran thaata lahab. Vamra atuhu hammaa lata-l-hatab. Fii djidiha hablum mim masad.
Translation:
“And blast the hands of Abu Lahaba1, and blast him himself. His wealth and acquisition (social status, children) did not save him. He gets into flaming Fire. His wife is to carry fire wood (fire wood hamal), and on the neck of hers there is a rope from palm fibers” (see Quran, 111).
