Makki · 9 ayat · 9 with pondering

• Ayah 1The eye-roll, the screenshot, the whispered "did you hear": the surah opens with woe for the one who has made breaking people a habit.
• Ayah 2Mockery and hoarding turn out to be one illness: count your money often enough and you start counting people as less.
• Ayah 3Nobody says "my money will keep me alive for ever", yet the will never written and the charity always postponed say it for us.
• Ayah 4One word, kallā, ends the illusion, and the man who cracked other people's dignity is flung, like something worthless, into the Crusher.
• Ayah 5Some things cannot be researched, only revealed, and the Quran pauses here to tell you that the Fire is one of them.
• Ayah 6Every fire you have seen was lit by a human hand; this one bears His name, and no net worth has ever bargained with it.
• Ayah 7The Fire does not stop at the skin; it rises to the heart, where the contempt was first felt and the love of money settled.
• Ayah 8The man who shut his wealth away from everyone finds a door shut on him, and the only time to open any door is now.
• Ayah 9The One who holds up the sky without pillars you can see can stretch pillars across a door, and the surah ends there.
