سُورَةُ التَّكَاثُرِ

أَلۡهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ (۱)

YOU ARE OBSESSED by greed for more and more

حَتَّىٰ زُرۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَقَابِرَ (۲)

until you go down to your graves.

كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ (۳)

Nay, in time you will come to understand!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ (۴)

And once again: Nay, in time you will come to understand!

كَلَّا لَوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عِلۡمَ ٱلۡیَقِینِ (۵)

Nay, if you could but understand [it] with an understanding [born] of certainty,

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلۡجَحِیمَ (۶)

you would indeed, most surely, behold the blazing fire [of hell]!

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَیۡنَ ٱلۡیَقِینِ (۷)

In the end you will indeed, most surely, behold it with the eye of certainty:

ثُمَّ لَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ (۸)

and on that Day you will most surely be called to account for [what you did with] the boon of life!
