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.
