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