Surah “The Fame”

as rendered by M. Farook Malik — 5 verses

Perish the hands of Abu Lahab! And perish he
His wealth and whatever he earned did not avail him anything
Soon he shall be burnt in a flaming fire (a pun on the meaning of Abu Lahab, "father of flames")
and his wife, the carrier of crackling fire wood
shall have a rope of palm-leaf fibre around her neck
