আত তাকাসুর (প্রাচুর্য লাভের প্রতিযোগিতা)

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you

1 Abundance diverts you,

1 Alhakumu alttakathuru

2 Until ye come to the graves.

2 Until you come to the graves.

2 Hatta zurtumu almaqabira

3 Nay, but ye will come to know!

3 Nay! you shall soon know,

3 Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona

4 Nay, but ye will come to know!

4 Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.

4 Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona

5 Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!

5 Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,

5 Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni

6 For ye will behold hell - fire.

6 You should most certainly have seen the hell;

6 Latarawunna aljaheema

7 Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.

7 Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;

7 Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni

8 Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.

8 Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.

8 Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
