About Surah Al-Humazah

Al-Humaza is a sharp warning against habitual backbiting, mockery, and slander, as well as the hoarding of wealth by those who believe money will make them immortal or immune to consequence. It describes such a person being "hurled" into a crushing fire that reaches the heart, a vivid image meant to underscore how seriously the Quran treats harming others through speech and greed.
