Surat Almassad

Surat 112:
Surat Al-masad:

Al-lahab,or the flame,Abu lahab,father of flame,is the nick-name of one of the prophet sala Allahu ayhi wasalams uncles.He was named so after his hot fiery temper and his ruddy complexion.
Abu lahabs wife was a woman of equally passionate spite and cruelty against the the person of the holy prophet.She used to tie bundles of thorns with ropes and twisted palm-leaf fiber and strew themin about on dark nights in the paths which the prophet was expected to take,in order to cause him bodily injury.

Transliteration:
----------------
Bismillahi-rrahmani-rraheem

Tabbat yada abee lahabin watabb.
Ma aghna anhu maluhu wa ma kasab.
Sa yaSsla naran thata lahab .
Wa-mra-atuhu Hhammalata-haTtab.
Fee jeediha Hhablun min masad.

Meanings of the words:

-tabbat = perish(she or in this case the two hands)
-yada = two hands(yad = one hand)
-abee =father(of)
-lahab = flame (here we read it lahabin,because there are two kasrahs under the b)
-wa =and
-tabb = perish(he)
-ma= not
-aghna = profit
-anhu = to him
-maluhu = his money (wealth)
-ma = that(this one is different then the one before aghna)
-kasab = (he)gained
-sa yaSsla =he will burn
-nar = Fire(added to it was an also because there are two kasrahs under the letter r)
-thata =of (feminine,the masculine is thu)
-laahb = flame
-mra-atuhu = it is written imra-atuhu (but because there is a wa before it we merge the a of wa with the I of imra-ah,which means woman) ,when we add tuhu then it means his wife.
-Hhammalah = carrier(feminine), (we added the ata because of the reading to be merged to the next word.).
-alhaTtab = wood
-fee = in (around)
-jeed = neck (ha is added to make it her neck,his neck would be jeedahu)
-Hhabl(un) = (twisted)rope
-min = of
masad = (of) palm leaf fibre
