Alhakumu alttakathuru
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
Alhakumu alttakathuru
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
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
حتى زرتم المقابر
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Nay! You shall come to know!
كلا سوف تعلمون
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Again nay! You shall come to know!
ثم كلا سوف تعلمون
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
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
Latarawunna aljaheema
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
لترون الجحيم
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
ثم لترونها عين اليقين
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
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
