QURAN CHAPTER - 104
Al-Humazah - The Traducer
Revealed - Meccan
Ruku - 1
Ayat - 9
Theme - In this Surah some of the evils prevalent among the materialistic hoarders of wealth in the pre-Islamic days have been condemned.
- Every Arab knew that they actually existed in their society; they regarded them as evils and nobody thought they were good.
- After calling attention to this kind of ugly character, the ultimate end in the Hereafter of the people having this kind of character has been stated.
- Both these things (i.e. the character and his fate in the Hereafter) have been depicted in a way which makes the listener automatically reach the conclusion that such a man fitly deserves to meet such an end.
- And since in the world, people of such character do not suffer any punishment, but seem to be thriving instead, the occurrence of the Hereafter becomes absolutely inevitable.
Immediately after this after presenting a specimen of leadership of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, the people have been asked the question: "What should such a character deserve if not loss and perdition?"
