كَلّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الحُطَمَةِ

Mir Ahmed Ali

  • The root of ‘Hutama’ is ‘Hatima’, i.e., getting rendered or broken into pieces, i.e., it will be crushed, destroyed and thrown into Hell before the eyes of those who spent their lives in amassing it and prided over it and got intoxicated of it, thinking it to be of a permanent value to them—deprived the others of their share, did not spend of it for the benefit of the others who suffered miserably for want of something of it.

  • Consuming or a crushing disaster
