Chapter 102, 8 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
Abundance diverts you,
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ
Until you visit the graveyards.
Until you come to the graves.
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
No! You are going to know.
Nay! you shall soon know,
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Then no! You are going to know.
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
You will surely see the Hellfire.
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
