102. Surah At-Takaathur (The Piling up)

Sūrat al-Takāthur (Arabic: سورة التكاثر‎, "Rivalry, Competition") is the 102nd sura of the Qur'an with 8 ayat. This sura is concerned with factionalism and schism amongst people. Disagreements between individuals and groups follows us "even until you visit the tombs". Three times in a row the sura 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".

                                      In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
