Alhakumu alttakathuru
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
Abundance diverts you,
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,
Abundance diverts you,
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
Until you come to the graves.
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Nay! You shall come to know!
Nay! you shall soon know,
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Again nay! You shall come to know!
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
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).
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Latarawunna aljaheema
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
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 you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
