(The Rivalry In World Increase, Competition) In it the people have been warned of the evil consequences of world worship because of which they spend their lives in acquiring more and more of worldly wealth, material benefits and pleasures, and position and power, till death, and in vying with one another and bragging and boasting about their acquisitions. This one pursuit has so occupied them that they are left with no time or opportunity for pursuing the higher things in life. After warning the people of its evil end they have been told us if to say: These blessings which you are amassing and enjoying thoughtlessly, are not mere blessings but are also a means of your trial. For each one of these blessings and comforts you will surely be called to account in the Hereafter. 102. At-Takathur بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ 1. أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ 2. حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ 3. كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ 4. ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ 5. كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ 6. لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ 7. ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ 8. ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ 102] Surah At-Takathur (The Piling Up) The mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you, Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die). Nay! You shall come to know! Again, Nay! You shall come to know! Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have occupied yourselves in worldly things) Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)! And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight! Then, on that Day, you shall be asked about the delight (you indulged in, in this world)! Astagfirullah O Allah! I seek your refuge from the evils of the fitnah of wealth, and the evils of the fitnah of poverty. Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
