Abundance diverts you,
Alhakumu alttakathuru
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you
Chapter 102, 8 verses
Abundance diverts you,
Alhakumu alttakathuru
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you
Until you come to the graves.
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ
Until ye come to the graves.
Nay! you shall soon know,
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ
Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Latarawunna aljaheema
لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
For ye will behold hell - fire.
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ
Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
