Chapter 111 of the Holy Qur'an, Sura Al-Masaad, meaning 'The Palm Fibre'. The sura condemns Abu Lahab (meaning father of the flame because his cheeks were always red or inflamed) and his wife as examples of worldly and wealth-driven sinners. Once Abu Lahab asked Muhammad: "If I were to accept your religion, what would I get?" Muhammad replied: "You would get what the other believers would get." Abu Lahab responded: "Is there no preference or distinction for me?" In which Muhammad replied, "What else do you want?" Abu Lahab replied back: "May this religion perish in which I and all other people should be equal and alike!" Although they have much on earth, it will not avail them in the Hereafter. The "firewood" they have carried in this life (symbols of their clutching onto material possessions and business) will, in the Hellfire prove to be the kindling of their damnation. This is to say, in their materialism they have been the architects of their own unfortunate destiny. The recitor is Sheik Mishary Alafasi
