Chapter 102, 8 verses
Abundance diverts you,
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
Alhakumu alttakathuru
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Until you come to the graves.
Until ye visit the graves.
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Nay! you shall soon know,
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Again, ye soon shall know!
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!
Latarawunna aljaheema
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
Again, ye 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, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
