102. Surah At-Takathur
Arabic and English translation and transliteration
Period of Revelation
Mecca
Introduction
This surah is concerned with factionalism and schism amongst people.
Disagreements between individuals and groups follows us "even until you visit the graves".
Three times in a row the surah warns the reader that "you shall know" that those who sow discord are headed towards Hell.
Here, proper understanding is required for entrance into Paradise, and should one not attain this on Earth, one will receive the "eye of certainty" on the Day of Judgment, when "you shall be questioned ... concerning true bliss".
