Chapter 102, 8 verses
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
Abundance diverts you,
Alhakumu alttakathuru
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Until ye visit the graves.
Until you come to the graves.
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
Nay! you shall soon know,
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Again, ye soon shall know!
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Latarawunna aljaheema
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
