In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you

Until ye come to the graves.
Until ye visit the graves.

Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Again, ye soon shall know!
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!

For ye will behold hell - fire.
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!

Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
