Surah Al-Humazah الهمزة

وَيۡلٞ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٖ لُّمَزَةٍ ١

Woe to every fault-finding backbiter

ٱلَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالٗا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ ٢

who amasses riches, counting them over,

يَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخۡلَدَهُۥ ٣

thinking they will make him live for ever.

كـَلَّاۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِي ٱلۡحُطَمَةِ ٤

No indeed! He will be thrust into the Crusher!

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحُطَمَةُ ٥

What will explain to you what the Crusher is?

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُوقَدَةُ ٦

It is God’s Fire, made to blaze,

ٱلَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةِ ٧

which rises over people’s hearts.

إِنَّهَا عَلَيۡهِم مُّؤۡصَدَةٞ ٨

It closes in on them

فِي عَمَدٖ مُّمَدَّدَةِۭ ٩

in towering columns.
