The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali)/102. The Abunbance of Wealth

102. The Abundance of Wealth (Al-Takathur)

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

¹ Abundance diverts you,

² Until you come to the graves.

³ Nay, you will soon know,

⁴ Nay, again, you will soon know.

⁵ Nay, would that you knew with a certain knowledge!

⁶ You will certainly see hell;

⁷ Then you will see it with certainty of sight;

⁸ Then on that day you shall certainly be questioned about the boons.
