In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Chapter 102, 8 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Until ye come to the graves.
Until ye visit the graves.
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Nay, but ye will come to know!
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Again, ye soon shall know!
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
For ye will behold hell - fire.
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.
Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
