Summary of Surah Al Humazah

This Surah condemns the evils which were prevalent among the materialistic hoarders of wealth in the pre-Islamic days.

The central theme of this Surah aligns with that of Surah Asr. While Surah Asr highlights that humanity is in a state of loss and outlines the exceptions, this Surah specifies who those individuals in loss are. It condemns those who harbor ill thoughts towards others and falsely believe that their wealth will protect them from death.

Surat Humazah in Arabic

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَيۡلٞ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٖ لُّمَزَةٍ(1)

ٱلَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالٗا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ(2)

يَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخۡلَدَهُۥ(3)

كَلَّاۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِي ٱلۡحُطَمَةِ(4)

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحُطَمَةُ(5)

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُوقَدَةُ(6)

ٱلَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةِ(7)

إِنَّهَا عَلَيۡهِم مُّؤۡصَدَةٞ(8)

فِي عَمَدٖ مُّمَدَّدَةِۭ(9)

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Woe to every backbiter, slanderer

Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.

He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.

No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.

Which mounts directed at the hearts.

Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them

tightly secured˺ with long braces
