At-Takathur


أَلۡهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ

(102:1) The craving for ever-greater worldly gains and to excel others in
that regard keeps you occupied1


حَتَّىٰ زُرۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَقَابِرَ

(102:2) until you reach your graves.2


كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ

(102:3) Nay, you will soon come to know;3


ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ

(102:4) nay, again, you shall soon come to know.


كَلَّا لَوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عِلۡمَ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

(102:5) Nay, would that you knew with certainty of knowledge (what your attitude
will lead to, you would never have acted the way you do).


لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ

(102:6) You will surely end up seeing Hell;


ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيۡنَ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

(102:7) again, you shall most certainly end up seeing it with absolute certainty.


ثُمَّ لَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

(102:8) Then, on that Day, you will be called to account for all the bounties
you enjoyed.4
