Chapter 102, 8 verses
Abundance diverts you,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you
Alhakumu alttakathuru
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Until you come to the graves.
Until ye come to the graves.
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Nay! you shall soon know,
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
For ye will behold hell - fire.
Latarawunna aljaheema
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
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.
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
