Humazah means, one who finds fault with others behind their backs and Lumazah is he who finds fault with them behind their backs or before their eyes (Aqrab). As against two basic good qualities—goodness and patience mentioned in the preceding Surah, two bad qualities which cut at the root of all social peace and harmony have been mentioned in this Surah. Backbiting and slander-mongering are the two main evils from which the so- called civilized society badly suffers today.
