A warning against mockery and reliance on wealth.
- verses
- 9
- subject
- condemnation of mockers and wealth-worshippers
Lore & Background
This suggests a punishment that is both physical and spiritual, targeting the core of the person. Throughout the sura, the focus remains on the fate of the traducer, with no mention of repentance or mercy. The structure moves from accusation (verses 1-3) to a stark warning (verse 4) to a detailed description of the punishment (verses 5-9).
Reader's Guide
The passages portray the subject—the 'scorner and mocker'—as someone defined by two primary traits: verbal derision and material obsession. The punishment itself is described in visceral, concrete terms. The sura offers no narrative beyond this judgment; it is a stark, direct warning.
