Introduction

In this Meccan sûrah and the next, the disbelievers are criticized for wasting their lives doing things that do not matter in the Hereafter, most importantly hoarding wealth. In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

Wasted Lives

1. Competition for more (gains) diverts you (from Allah), 2. until you end up in (your) graves. 3. But no! You will soon come to know. 4. Again, no! You will soon come to know. 5. Indeed, if you were to know (your fate) with certainty, (you would have acted differently). 6. (But) you will surely see the Hellfire. 7. Again, you will surely see it with the eye of certainty. 8. Then, on that Day, you will definitely be questioned about (your worldly) pleasures.

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
١
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
٢
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
٣
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
٤
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
٥
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
٦
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
٧
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
