Sura 111 - Al-Masad
In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

[111:1] 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.
[111:2] His money and whatever he has accomplished will never help him.
مَآأَغْنَىٰaghnāعَنْهُʿanhuمَالُهُۥmāluhuوَمَاwamāكَسَبَkasaba ﴿٢﴾
[111:3] He has incurred the blazing Hell.

[111:4] Also his wife, who led the persecution.
وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥwa-im'ra-atuhuحَمَّالَةَḥammālataٱلْحَطَبِl-ḥaṭabi ﴿٤﴾
[111:5] She will be (resurrected) with a rope of thorns around her neck.
