Chapter 102, 8 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألهاكم التكاثر
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you
Abundance diverts you,
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
حتى زرتم المقابر
Until ye come to the graves.
Until you come to the graves.
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
كلا سوف تعلمون
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Nay! you shall soon know,
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
ثم كلا سوف تعلمون
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
كلا لو تعلمون علم اليقين
Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
لترون الجحيم
For ye will behold hell - fire.
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
ثم لترونها عين اليقين
Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
ثم لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
