التَّكَاثُر

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1
أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
2
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ
Until ye visit the graves.
3
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
4
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Again, ye soon shall know!
5
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
6
لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
Ye shall certainly see Hell-Fire!
7
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ
Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
8
ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
