Abundance diverts you,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألهاكم التكاثر
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Chapter 102, 8 verses
Abundance diverts you,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألهاكم التكاثر
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Until you come to the graves.
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
حتى زرتم المقابر
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Nay! you shall soon know,
Nay! You shall come to know!
كلا سوف تعلمون
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Again nay! You shall come to know!
ثم كلا سوف تعلمون
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
كلا لو تعلمون علم اليقين
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
لترون الجحيم
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
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 you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
ثم لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
