Disaster is (decreed) for every slanderer, defamer,
2
Who amasses wealth (instead of spending it for the good of humanity), counts it over and over and depends upon it as a safeguard (against his future possible hardships).
3
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
4
No, never! he shall surely be cast into the crushing torment (of Hell).
5
And what should make you know what the crushing torment is?
6
(It is) the Fire set ablaze by Allâh,
7
And which rises over (the feelings of) the hearts (the origin of a man's hell).
8
It (Fire) will be closed in on them (so as not to let them escape from it and also increase for them the torture of heat).
9
(The flames of the Fire will rise) in (the form of) huge outstretched columns.
