Sorah At-Takathur ( The piling Up ) - Verses Number 8
أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ
( 1 )
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ
( 2 )
Until ye visit the graves.
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
( 3 )
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
( 4 )
Again, ye soon shall know!
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ
( 5 )
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
( 6 )
Ye shall certainly see Hell-Fire!
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ
( 7 )
Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ
( 8 )
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
