The Quran (English) — Abdel Haleem

Surah 111 of 114

سُوْرَةُ المَسَدِ

Al-Masad

The Palm Fibre

May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined! May he be ruined too

Neither his wealth nor his gains will help him

he will burn in the Flaming Fire––

and so will his wife, the firewood-carrier

with a palm-fibre rope around her neck
