التكاثر
Makki · 8 ayahs
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
102:1 Competition for more ˹gains˺ diverts you ˹from Allah˺,
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
102:2 until you end up in ˹your˺ graves.
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
102:3 But no! You will soon come to know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
102:4 Again, no! You will soon come to know.
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
102:5 Indeed, if you were to know ˹your fate˺ with certainty, ˹you would have acted differently˺.
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
102:6 ˹But˺ you will surely see the Hellfire.
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
102:7 Again, you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
102:8 Then, on that Day, you will definitely be questioned about ˹your worldly˺ pleasures.
