The following surah describes the end of pilling up worldly matters. This is the primary concern of many people nowadays, it’s also life consuming to the point to lose own self especially when what’s right and what’s wrong are not taken in consideration or when believing in God and in Judgement Day are forgotten or ignored.

102. At-Takaathur

أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ

The mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly matters kept you busy,

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ

Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Nay! You shall come to know!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Again, Nay! You shall come to know!

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ

Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have occupied yourselves in worldly matters)

لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ

Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ

And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!

ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ

Then, on that Day, you shall be asked about the delight (you indulged in, in this world)!
