Sorah Al-Humazah ( The Slanderer ) - Verses Number 9

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ ( 1 )

Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter,

الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ ( 2 )

Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ ( 3 )

Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ ( 4 )

By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ ( 5 )

And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?

نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ ( 6 )

(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),

الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ ( 7 )

The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ ( 8 )

It shall be made into a vault over them,

فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ ( 9 )

In columns outstretched.

Letter to the West - A Saudi ViewThis book was prepared by a group of Saudi scholars and intellectuals. They address Western mind which looks at fair truth and objective and convincing dialogue. The book, in general, discusses the most important issues and suspicions raised by Western political and media organizations in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 events. These events have placed Islam, the Kingdom, its people, and its religious, educational and social institutions in a position that requires correction and review. The book is a moderate vision in responding to the issues and suspicions. A biased reader would notice the major difference between the reality and the raised concepts and images which were far from the reality.
