 What is the importance of Surah Al Humazah?

The main point of humazah surah is on the consequences of man’s loss. It criticizes people who insult others, whether via word or deed, and believe that their money would protect them from death, and it portrays the destiny of Hell that awaits them.

1-Surah Humazah exposes the faults that were widespread among pre-Islamic materialistic hoarders of riches.

al homaza exposes the faults that were widespread among pre-Islamic materialistic hoarders of riches. After expressing this kind of heinous character, the final fate of such individuals in the Hereafter is revealed. Both of these things (the character and one’s destiny in the Afterlife) are described in such a manner that the listener naturally concludes that such a guy deserves to face such an end. And since individuals of such type may not suffer in the world and seem to be prospering instead, the occurrence of the Hereafter becomes unavoidable.

2-surah Humazah contains Islam’s essential teachings

If Humazah is read in the order of the Surahs, starting with Az-Zilzal, one may completely comprehend Islam’s essential teachings. According to Surah Az-Zilzal, in the Hereafter, man’s whole record will be presented before him, and not one atom’s weight of good or evil is done by him in the world will go unrecorded. In Surah Al-‘Adiyat, attention was directed to the pillage, loot, killing, and vandalism that existed in Arabia before Islam, making the people understand that the manner Allah’s powers were exploited was an indication of utter ingratitude to Him and deserved retribution. After portraying the Resurrection in Surah Al-Qariah, the people were cautioned that in the Hereafter, a man’s good or bad end would be determined by whether the scale of his good actions was heavier or the scale of his wicked deeds was heavier

3-surah Humazah teaches Muslims that  people should not be  chastised for their materialistic attitude

 In Surah At- Takathur, the people were chastised for their materialistic attitude, which kept them preoccupied with increasing their worldly rewards, pleasures, comforts, and status. They were cautioned that they would have to answer to their Rabb and Sustainer for how they got it and how they utilized it. It was proclaimed in Surah Al-‘Asr that each individual, each group, and each community of mankind, even the whole globe of humanity, was in obvious loss if its members lacked faith, good acts, and the practice of exhorting others to truth and patience.

Immediately after this is Surah Al-Humazah, in which, after giving an example of the pre-Islamic era of ignorance leadership, the people are questioned, “What should such character deserve, if not loss and perdition?”

surah al humazah in arabic

Tafsir surah al Humazah in English

Wailul-likulli hu mazatil-lumazah

In the original, the words are humazat il-lumazah. Hamz and lamz are so similar in meaning in Arabic that they are sometimes used as synonyms and sometimes with a little variation in the shade of meaning. However, this distinction is not certain and unambiguous, since the connotation given to lamz by some Arabic-speaking people is also given to lamz by other Arabic-speaking people. On the contrary, some individuals associate harm with hamz, while others associate hamz with harm. Because these terms exist together and the words humazat il-lumazat are employed, they imply that the slanderer has made it a habit to insult and despise people on a regular basis. He raises his finger and winks at one guy, finds fault with the lineage and person of another, taunts one in the face and backbites another; makes schisms among friends and causes divisions among brothers; calls them names, satirizes and defames them.

Allazee jama’a maalanw wa ‘addadah

This second statement, which follows the previous sentence, implies that he slanders others because he is proud of his fortune. The phrases jama ‘a malan for gathering money allude to an abundance of riches; the words “counting it over and over again” allude to a person’s miserliness and greedy hoarding of wealth.

Yahsabu anna maalahooo akhladah

Another interpretation is: “He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.” That is, he is so preoccupied with acquiring fortune and counting it over and over that he has forgotten death, and he never considers that there will come a moment when he will have to leave the earth empty-handed, leaving everything behind.

Kallaa; layumbazanna fil hutamah

The original term is la yrtnbadhanna. In Arabic, nabdh refers to the act of discarding something because it is useless and cruel. This suggests that he believes he is a great man because of his money, yet on the Day of Resurrection, he will be thrown into Hell as a low and despicable item.

Wa maa adraaka mal-hutamah

The term hutamah comes from the Arabic word hatm, which meaning to shatter, crush, or break into pieces. Because of its depth and heat, Hell has been labeled with this term because it will crush and tear to pieces anything is thrown into it.

Naarul laahil-mooqada

The Fire of Hell is never referred to be the Fire of Allah in the Qur’an. Its ascription to Allah not only indicates its dreadfulness but also demonstrates how Allah’s anger and scorn envelop individuals who grow pompous and arrogant with worldly riches. That is why Allah has defined the Fire into which they shall be thrown as His own Fire.

Allatee tattali’u ‘alal af’idah

Tattali’u is derived from the word ittala a, which means to ascend and rise to the top, as well as to be conscious and knowledgeable. Afidah is the plural form of fuwad, which means “heart.” However, this term refers to the seat of man’s knowledge and awareness, his emotions and wants, beliefs and ideas, motivations and intents, rather than the organ that throbs in the breast. Thus, one interpretation of the Fire ascending to the hearts is that it will reach the core of man’s corrupt ideas, erroneous beliefs, dirty wants and impulses, and malicious motivations and intents. The second meaning is that the Fire of Allah will not be blind like the flame of the world, which burns up all worthy and undeserving people alike, but it will enter the heart of every perpetrator, identify the essence of his crime, and then punish him in accordance with his guilt.

Innahaa ‘alaihim mu’sada

That is, when the perpetrators have been hurled into it, Hell will shut in on them without leaving any slit or hole, choking and suffocating them.

Fee ‘amadim mumaddadah

Fi amad-in-mumaddahah may imply a variety of things.

(1)   That the gates of Hell will be locked and towering columns will be put on them;

(2)   (2) that the perpetrators will be bound to the tall columns;

(3)   (3) that the flames of the inferno would rise up like tall columns, according to Ibn ‘Abbas.
