SURAH - At Takathur

Clear

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ

The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),

At-Takathur  1    

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ

Until ye visit the graves.

At-Takathur  2    

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).

At-Takathur  3    

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Again, ye soon shall know!

At-Takathur  4    

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)

At-Takathur  5    

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ

Ye shall certainly see Hell-Fire!

At-Takathur  6    

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!

At-Takathur  7    

ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).

At-Takathur  8
