Surah 102,

102:1
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ

YOU ARE OBSESSED by greed for more and more

102:2
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ

until you go down to your graves.

102:3
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Nay, in time you will come to understand!

102:4
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

And once again: Nay, in time you will come to understand!

102:5
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Nay, if you could but understand [it] with an understanding [born] of certainty,

102:6
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ

you would indeed, most surely, behold the blazing fire [of hell]!

102:7
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

In the end you will indeed, most surely, behold it with the eye of certainty:

102:8
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

and on that Day you will most surely be called to account for [what you did with] the boon of life!
