111: Palm fibre (Al Masad)

This sura refers to the uncle of the Prophet who opposed him fiercely as did his wife. He insulted the Prophet with 'Tabak yadak' (may your hands be ruined). This Meccan sura is a retort.

In the Name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy

1 May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined! May he be ruined too! 2 Neither his wealth nor his gains will help him: 3 he will burn in the Flaming Fire- 4 and so will his wife, the firewood carrier, 5 with a palm fibre rope around her neck.
