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,
Alhakumu alttakathuru
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,
Alhakumu alttakathuru
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Until you come to the graves.
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Nay! you shall soon know,
Nay! You shall come to know!
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Again nay! You shall come to know!
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
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).
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
Latarawunna aljaheema
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
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 you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
