Sura CII (102)

Desire

(Mecca -- 8 Verses)

________________________________________

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

The Desire of increasing riches occupieth you,

Till you come to the grave.

Nay! but in the end you shall know --

Nay! once more, in the end you shall know your folly.

Nay! would that you knew it with knowledge of certainty!

Surely you shall see hell-fire.

Then shall you surely see it with the eye of certainty;

Then shall you on that day be taken to task concerning pleasures.
