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
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
Chapter 102, 8 verses
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
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
حتى زرتم المقابر
Until you visit the graveyards.
Nay! You shall come to know!
كلا سوف تعلمون
No! You are going to know.
Again nay! You shall come to know!
ثم كلا سوف تعلمون
Then no! You are going to know.
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
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
لترون الجحيم
You will surely see the Hellfire.
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
ثم لترونها عين اليقين
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
ثم لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
