Sorah Al-Humazah ( The Slanderer ) - Verses Number 9

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ ( 1 )

Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter,

الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ ( 2 )

Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ ( 3 )

Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ ( 4 )

By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ ( 5 )

And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?

نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ ( 6 )

(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),

الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ ( 7 )

The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ ( 8 )

It shall be made into a vault over them,

فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ ( 9 )

In columns outstretched.

Evolution of FiqhThe author says in the introduction of the second edition, “The overall purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader with the historical factors behind the formulation of Islamic law (Fiqh), in order that he or she may better understand how and why the various schools of Islamic law (Madh-habs) came about. It is hoped that this understanding will in turn, provide a basis for overcoming the petty differences and divisions which occur when present-day followers of different schools of people without definite schools try to work together. Thus, another aim of this book is to provide a theoretical framework for the reunification of the Madhhabs and an ideological basis for Islamic community work free from the divisive effects of Madh-hab factionalism.” The book consists of six chapters: foundation, establishment, building, flowing, consolidation, and stagnation and decline.
