1 The Abundance of Wealth

أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ

Amatul Rahman Omar

(Mankind! your) vying with one another to excel in multiplying worldly possessions diverts you (from God and true values of life)

Alhakumu alttakathuru

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ

Amatul Rahman Omar

Until (on your death) you embrace the graves

Hatta zurtumu almaqabira

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Amatul Rahman Omar

Nay, (you should never hanker after worldly gains, power and position,) you shall come to know in time (that you have been chasing at a shadow)

Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Amatul Rahman Omar

Nay, again (We repeat, never should you misuse your life of probation,) you shall come to know (the consequences of it) in time

Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ

Amatul Rahman Omar

No, never! if you only knew the consequences thereof with sure and certain knowledg

Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni

لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ

Amatul Rahman Omar

You will certainly see the very hell-fire (in this present life by seeing the sad fate of the wicked)

Latarawunna aljaheema

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ

Amatul Rahman Omar

Again, you shall most certainly see it (in the Hereafter) with the eye of certainty

Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni

ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ

Amatul Rahman Omar

And then on that day (of Reckoning) you shall be called to account for the favours (bestowed upon you)

Thumma latus-alunna yawma-ithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
