1.  *     Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
 
2.  *     Who has gathered wealth and counted it,
 
3.  *     He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
 
4.  *     Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
 
5.  *     And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
 
6.  *     The fire of Allah, kindled,
 
7.  *     Which leaps up over the hearts,
 
8.  *     Verily, it shall be closed in on them,
 
9.  *     In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars, etc.).
