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

ثم لترونها عين اليقين
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
ثم لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
