Read it below, then recite it aloud and let Qiraa correct you word by word.
What Sūrat al-Masad is about
Sūrat al-Masad has 5 āyāt in the thirtieth juzʼ. It opens: may the hands of Abū Lahab perish, and he has perished (111:1). His wealth and what he earned did not help him (111:2).
He will burn in a fire of blazing flame (111:3), and so will his wife, the carrier of firewood (111:4). Around her neck is a rope of twisted palm fibre, masad, which gives the sūrah its name (111:5).
- Āyāt 1–5
Abū Lahab and his wife
The hands of Abū Lahab perish, and he perishes. His wealth and gains do not help him. He will burn in a blazing fire, and his wife too, carrying firewood, with a rope of palm fibre around her neck.
