Surat Al-Masadd (Arabic: سورة المسد ) (The Palm Fibre or The Flame) is the 111th Sura of the Qur'an with 5 ayat. It is a Makkan surah.

After proclaiming the bismillah, the sura condemns Abu Lahab and his wife as examples of worldly and wealth driven sinners. 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 proves 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 chapter that came in the year 610-14. [[Citing sources citation needed]]

Muslims present that chapter as evidence for the divinity of the Quran, since Abu Lahab cound have ruined the Quran and Islam simply by profesing Islam outwardly, just like Abu Sufyan did. [[Citing sources citation needed]]
