Exegesis of At-Takāthur (Q. 102)

In the Name of Allah the Most Merciful the Most Gracious...
He, upon him be peace, was asked about the interpretation of: {Accumulation distracts thee, until thou visit the graves...} (Q. 102:1-2).
The meaning of {distracts thee} is: makes you heedless of the Hereafter impending;
This is due to your mass accumulation of tribes, wealth, and children descent brings;
As well as the bragging you did concerning that. By that, they are preoccupied.
They are distracted and inattentive. They exhaust themselves by toil and grind.
They work themselves as dogs and are stingy beyond what‟s reasonable.
By their accumulation of wealth, their Hereafter‟s certainty is not feasible;
Also, by their busying themselves with accumulation of apprehensions.
Allah purges him from His good by Messengers and righteous mentioned.
They will never be with those who accumulate, neither in friendship.
The meaning of {visit the graves} is: their fated destination;
Their connection to the Hereafter and proximity to its station.
{No! Thou shall know! Then...No! Thou shall know! No! If only thou knew with the knowledge of certainty...}
It is a method of repetition used by Allah, the Exalted, Blessed,
In order that He can explain and cause one to learn from its lesson.
{Thou shall surely see the Hellfire! Then, thou shall see it with the eye of certainty!}
The Majestic says that with the vision of the eye with certainty
You will come to see what you were promised...most certainly.
{Thou shall be asked on that Day regarding the blessing}:
You will be stopped at that time for what you did before your termination;
As well as for your life in this world. The {blessing} is: a great donation.
It was what they were granted with in this world and its lasting.
It was before what came to one from the Hereafter and its gnashing.
Allah has not revealed a verse in this chapter or any other, long or short;
Except that a blessing of Allah is shown with hidden and manifest import.
The least of the manifest is enough for one and sufficient.
Its light ones are full of wisdom and blessings without finish.
