111 - Al-Masad
"Audhu billahi minash shaytanirrajeem"
Bismi Llaahi l-raḥmaani l-raḥeem
-
Tabbat yada abee lahabin watabba;
May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined... And ruined he is!
-
Ma aghna AAanhu maluhu wama kasaba;
Neither his wealth nor his earnings availed him!
-
Sayasla naran thata lahabin;
He will be subject to a blazing Fire!
-
Waimraatuhu hammalata alhatabi;
His wife as well... As a wood-carrier!
-
Fee jeediha hablun min masadin;
With a rope of palm-fiber around her neck!
I seek refuge in the protective forces of the Names of Allah comprising my Essence from impulses generated by the accursed and rejected (rajim) Satan, which, as a result of preconditioning, causes our sense of illusion to perceive the existent as non-existent and the non-existent as existent, thereby making man believe he is an independent being and body outside the Names of Allah, directing man to the idea of an external deity-God in the heavens.
By the one who is denoted by the name Allah (who created my being with His Names in accord with the meaning of the letter ‘B’), the Rahman, the Rahim.
