102. At-Takathur

(செல்வத்தையும், மக்களையும்) ஒருவருக்கொருவர் அதிகமாகத் தேடிக் கொள்வது உங்களைப் பராக்காக்கிவிட்டது.

The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,

மண்ணறைகளை நீங்கள் சந்திக்கும்வரை.

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

(உண்மை நிலை) அவ்வாறல்ல! (அதன் விளைவை) அடுத்து நீங்கள் அறிந்து கொள்வீர்கள்.

Nay! You shall come to know!

பின்னர், அவ்வாறல்ல! (அதன் விளைவை) அடுத்து நீங்கள் அறிந்து கொள்வீர்கள்.

Again nay! You shall come to know!

(உண்மை நிலை) அவ்வாறால்ல! (எதன்பால் உங்கள் முடிவிருக்குமோ அதுபற்றி) நீங்கள் உறுதியான அறிவாக அறிவீர்களாயின் (நீங்கள் ஈடுபட்டிருக்கும் பயனற்ற செயல் உங்களைப் பராக்காக்கியிருக்காது)

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

(அல்லாஹ்வின் மீது) சத்தியமாக (மறுமையில்) நிச்சயமாக நீங்கள் நரகத்தை (வெகுதூரத்திலிருந்து) பார்ப்பீர்கள்.

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

பின்னர், நீங்கள் அதை கண்ணுக்கெதிரில் (வெகு அருகில்) பார்ப்பீர்கள்.

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

பின்னர், அந்நாளில் (உலகில் நீங்கள் அனுபவித்து வந்த அனைத்து) அருட்கொடையைப் பற்றி நிச்சயமாக நீங்கள் கேட்கப்படுவீர்கள்.

Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights¹ (you indulged in, in this world)!

   Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Once during a day or a night Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم came out and found Abu Bakr and ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما: he said: "What has brought you out of your homes at this hour?" They replied: "Hunger, O Allâh’s Messenger." He said: "By Him (Allâh) in Whose Hand my soul is, I too have come out for the same reason for which you have come out". Then he صلى الله عليه وسلم said to them (both): "Come along! "And he went along with them to a man from the Ansâr but they did not find him in his house. The wife of that man saw the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said: "You are welcome." Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم asked her (saying): "Where is so-and-so?" She replied: "He has gone to fetch some water for us." In the mean time the Ansarî man came, saw Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم with his two Companions and said: "All the praise and thanks be to Allâh: today there is none superior to me as regards guests." Then he went and brought a part of a bunch of date-fruit, having dates, some still green, some ripe and some fully ripe and requested them to eat from it. He then took his knife (to slaughter for them a sheep). Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said to him: "Beware! Do not slaughter a milch sheep". So he slaughtered a sheep (prepared the meals from its meat). They ate from that sheep and that bunch of dates and drank water. After they had finished eating and drinking to their fill, Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said to Abu Bakr and ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما : "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, you will be asked about this treat on the Day of Resurrection. He (Allâh) brought you out of your homes with hunger and you are not returning to your homes till you have been blessed with this treat." (Sahih Muslim, Vol.6, The Book of Drinks, Chapter 20, Pages 116,117).
