Alhakumu alttakathuru
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,
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Chapter 102, 8 verses
Alhakumu alttakathuru
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,
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
Until you come to the graves.
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Nay! you shall soon know,
Nay! You shall come to know!
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Again nay! You shall come to know!
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
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).
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Latarawunna aljaheema
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
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)!
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
