At-Takaathur

سورة التكاثر

Competition8 verses Meccan

Translated by Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ

The mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you,

2

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ

Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).

3

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Nay! You shall come to know!

4

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Again, Nay! You shall come to know!

5

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ

Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have occupied yourselves in worldly things)

6

لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ

Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!

7

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ

And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!

8

ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ

Then, on that Day, you shall be asked about the delight (you indulged in, in this world)!
