Rivalry in Increase
Surah 102
8 ayat
Revealed in Mecca
Competition for more wealth, more numbers, more scrolling. It distracts you until you visit the graves. Then you will surely know.
Featured in the app’s pause: 102:1, 102:2.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
أَلۡهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Competition for worldly gains distracts you [from Allah],
AT-TAKATHUR · 102:1
FEATURED IN DEENSCREEN
WHY IT GIVES YOU PAUSECompetition for more content, more updates, more of everything distracts until it defines us. The ayah names exactly this.
حَتَّىٰ زُرۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَقَابِرَ
until you come to your graves.
AT-TAKATHUR · 102:2
FEATURED IN DEENSCREEN
WHY IT GIVES YOU PAUSEThe scrolling has an end point, and it is not on this screen. Visiting the graves puts the feed in perspective.
كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ
No indeed! You will come to know.
AT-TAKATHUR · 102:3
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ
Again no! You will come to know.
AT-TAKATHUR · 102:4
كَلَّا لَوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عِلۡمَ ٱلۡيَقِينِ
No indeed! If only you knew for certain[1].
AT-TAKATHUR · 102:5
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ
You will surely see the Blazing Fire,
AT-TAKATHUR · 102:6
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيۡنَ ٱلۡيَقِينِ
Again, you will see it with absolute certainty.
AT-TAKATHUR · 102:7
ثُمَّ لَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Then on that Day you will surely be asked about your worldly pleasures[2].
AT-TAKATHUR · 102:8
