In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Rivalary in worldly increases distracts you Until you come to the graves Surely you will come to know Most surely you will come to know Surely with that you know (now) with sure knowledge For you will hold hell fire Most surely you you will hold it with sure vision Then on that day you will be asked concerning all pleasures (you indulged in) |
This Surah clearly indicates the first questioning in the graves and warns against acquiring more than your needs of the worldly goods therefore leaving you with no opportunity of pursuing the higher things in life
