Sura 111: Thorns (Al-Masad)

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

1. Condemned are the works of Abee Lahab, and he is condemned.*

*111:1 Abee Lahab was Muhammad’s uncle and the leader of the opposition. His wife carried out a campaign of persecution against Muhammad and the believers. Like all descriptions of Heaven and Hell, the rope of thorns is an allegory.

2. His money and whatever he has accomplished will never help him.

3. He has incurred the blazing Hell.

5. She will be (resurrected) with a rope of thorns around her neck.
