The Qur'an Surah 104: The Backbiter

The following is from a work-in-progress called The Qur'an: a Book Report, in which I read each surah of the Qur'an and write about what I learn.

This is another surah which condemns those who greedily hoard wealth: "Woe to every fault-finding backbiter who amasses riches, counting them over, thinking they will make him live forever."  These wealth-obsessed people will be sent to hell or, as it's called here, "The Crusher."
