The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali)/111. The Flame

111. The Flame (Al-Lahab)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

 Abu Lahab's hands will perish and he will perish. 

His wealth and that which he earns will not avail him. 

He will burn in fire giving rise to flames -- 

And his wife the bearer of slander; 

Upon her neck a halter of twisted rope!
