| أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ {١} |
1. Competing in increase of worldly goods (seeking and then boasting of the acquisition of things, wealth, pedigree, and posterity) distracts you (from the proper purpose of life), |
| حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ {٢} |
2. Until you come to the graves. |
| كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ {٣} |
3. No indeed! You will surely come to understand (when death comes to you). |
| ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ {٤} |
4. Again, no indeed! You will surely come to understand it (when you are raised from the dead). |
| كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ {٥} |
5. No indeed! If only you knew with certainty of knowledge (then you would not disorder priorities). |
| لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ {٦} |
6. You will most surely see the Blazing Flame! |
| ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ {٧} |
7. Then (when you go to the other world), you will most surely see it with the eye of certainty. |
| ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ {٨} |
8. And on that Day you will most surely be questioned as to all the favors (bestowed on you). |
