Surah “The Traducer, The Gossipmonger, The Slanderer”

as rendered by Abdel Haleem — 9 verses

Woe to every fault-finding backbite
who amasses riches, counting them over
thinking they will make him live for ever
No indeed! He will be thrust into the Crusher
What will explain to you what the Crusher is
It is God’s Fire, made to blaze
which rises over people’s hearts
It closes in on the
in towering columns
