111. Surah Al-Masad (The Palm Fiber)

Al-lahab (Arabic: سورة المسد‎, meaning "The Father of Flame") is the 111th chapter (Sura) of the Quran with 5 verses. Verse 1 mentions one of Muhammad's adversaries named Abu Lahab.This surah takes its name from verse 5 in which the phrase “ḥablun min masad” (meaning “a rope of palm fibre”) occurs that mentions the palm fibre rope that in hellfire shall be twisted around the neck of the wife of Muhammad’s uncle, who bitterly opposed Islam; for she took great pride in wearing an ostentatious necklace she became known for and would slip by night to strew thorns and prickly plants in Muhammad’s path to injure his feet.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

1. The power of Abu Lahab will perish, and he will perish. 

2. His wealth and gains will not exempt him. 

3. He will be plunged in flaming Fire, 

4. And his wife, the wood-carrier, 

5. Will have upon her neck a halter of palm-fibre.
