Surah “The Traducer, The Gossipmonger, The Slanderer”

as rendered by Safi Kaskas — 9 verses

Woe to every scorning backbiter
who has amassed wealth and diversified it,
thinking that his wealth will make him immortal.
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
And what will convey to you what is the Crusher?
It is the kindled Fire of God
reaching right into the hearts.
it will engulf them
in extended columns.
