بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألهاكم التكاثر
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
Alhakumu alttakathuru
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Chapter 102, 8 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألهاكم التكاثر
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
Alhakumu alttakathuru
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
حتى زرتم المقابر
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
كلا سوف تعلمون
Nay! You shall come to know!
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
ثم كلا سوف تعلمون
Again nay! You shall come to know!
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
كلا لو تعلمون علم اليقين
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
لترون الجحيم
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
Latarawunna aljaheema
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
ثم لترونها عين اليقين
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
ثم لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
