SÛRAH CII
At-Takâthur takes its name from a word in the first verse.
A very early Meccan Sûrah.
RIVALRY IN WORDLY INCREASE
Revealed at Mecca
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1 Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you
2 Until ye come to the graves.
3 Nay, but ye will come to know!
4 Nay, but ye will come to know!
5 Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!
6 For ye will behold hell-fire.
7 Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.
8 Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
