| 1. * | Woe unto every slanderer, fault-finder! (He himself does little but spends a lot of energy detracting the doers). |
| 2. * | Whose efforts revolve around gathering material possessions and counting them. (Devoid of a higher goal, he opposes any semblance of reform (70:18)). |
| 3. * | Thinking as if his wealth will help him for forever! |
| 4. * | Nay, he will be flung into the Shredder. (9:35). |
| 5. * | Ah, what will convey to you what the Shredder is? |
| 6. * | A Fire kindled by Allah. |
| 7. * | Which originates in the hearts. (And engulfs the hearts). |
| 8. * | Verily, it closes upon them. (As they had kept their possessions closed in safes and vaults, and kept all kindness surrounded in the flames of jealousy). |
| 9. * | In extended columns. |
