Surah At-Takathur ( The piling Up ) - Aya count 8

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ ﴿١﴾

The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ ﴿٢﴾

Until ye visit the graves.

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣﴾

But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤﴾

Again, ye soon shall know!

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٥﴾

Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ ﴿٦﴾

Ye shall certainly see Hell-Fire!

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٧﴾

Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!

ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿٨﴾

Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
