The Mutual Rivalry for Piling Up Diverts Me


ath-Takathur (102)

The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things), {1}
Until ye visit the graves. {2}
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality). {3}
Again, ye soon shall know! {4}
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!) {5}
Ye shall certainly see Hell-Fire! {6}
Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight! {7}
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!). {8}
