102. Sūrat At-Takathur · Rivalry in World Increase
Competition for more ˹gains˺ diverts you ˹from Allah˺,
Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you
YOU ARE OBSESSED by greed for more and more
Piling of more wealth has kept you heedless.
Your greed for massive wealth and the superiority complex has made you negligent (of the Hereafter)
until you end up in ˹your˺ graves.
Until ye come to the graves.
until you go down to your graves.
Till you saw your graves
Until you go down to the graves
But no! You will soon come to know.
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Nay, in time you will come to understand!
Yes, soon you will come to know.
No indeed! You will soon learn (this reality that wealth and riches will avail you nothing)
Again, no! You will soon come to know.
Nay, but ye will come to know!
And once again: Nay, in time you will come to understand!
Again, yes, soon you will come to know.
Again (you are warned.) No! Never! You will soon learn about (your end)
Indeed, if you were to know ˹your fate˺ with certainty, ˹you would have acted differently˺.
Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!
Nay, if you could but understand [it] with an understanding [born] of certainty,
Yes, it you would have knows with knowledge of certainty: you would not have loved wealth
Yes indeed! Would that you knew with the knowledge of certitude (the consequence of greed for wealth and riches and your negligence! Then, lost in the worldly pleasures, you would never forget the Hereafter like this)
˹But˺ you will surely see the Hellfire.
For ye will behold hell-fire.
you would indeed, most surely, behold the blazing fire [of hell]!
Undoubtedly, you shall necessarily, see Hell
(Consequent on your greed) you will surely see Hell
Again, you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.
In the end you will indeed, most surely, behold it with the eye of certainty:
Then again, undoubtedly you shall necessarily see it with the eye of certainty
Then you will certainly see it with the eye of certitude
Then, on that Day, you will definitely be questioned about ˹your worldly˺ pleasures.
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
and on that Day you will most surely be called to account for [what you did with] the boon of life!
Then, undoubtedly, you shall surely be asked about the favours.
Then on that Day, you will certainly be questioned about the bounties (given to you by Allah and the way you consumed them)
