Al-Humazah 104:4
The Traducer · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 601
The Crusher
كَلَّاۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِي ٱلۡحُطَمَةِ ٤
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, what saves a person is not wealth but, as the previous surah said, faith in the truth, knowledge and good deeds. “Thrown” describes something worthless being cast away.
Reflect
What did you do today for what will truly save you?
