Surah “The Traducer, The Gossipmonger, The Slanderer”

as rendered by A. S. Mohamed — 9 verses

Woe to every slanderer, backbiter,
who hoards money and counts it over,
thinking that his money will immortalise him!
Not so! He will be thrown into the Destroyer.
And how would you know what the Destroyer is?
God's kindled Fire
that reaches right to the hearts.
It is enclosed upon them,
in extended columns.
