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