بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allāh, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ﴿١﴾

Rivalry [and vainglory] distracted you(1)

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ﴿٢﴾

until you visited [even] the graves.(2)

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ﴿٣﴾

No indeed, soon you will know!(3)

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ﴿٤﴾

No indeed, soon you will know for yet another time!(4)

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ﴿٥﴾

Indeed, were you to know with certain knowledge,(5)

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ﴿٦﴾

you would have surely seen hell [in this very life].(6)

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ﴿٧﴾

Afterward you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.(7)

ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ﴿٨﴾

Then, on that day, you will surely be questioned concerning the Blessing.(8)
