Surah # 102 - At Takathur

(Arabic: سورة التكاثر‎) (Rivalry In World Increase, Competition)

This is the 102nd surah of the Qur'an with 8 aayat.

                THEME AND SUBJECT MATTER 

 In it the people have been warned of the evil consequences of world worship because of which they spend their lives in acquiring more and more of worldly wealth, material benefits and pleasures, and position and power, till death, and in vying with one another and bragging  and boasting about their acquisitions. 

This one pursuit has so occupied them that they are left with no time or opportunity for pursuing the higher things in life.

 After warning the people of its evil end they have been told as if to say: "These blessings which you are amassing and enjoying thoughtlessly, are not mere blessings but are also a means of your trial.

For each one of these blessings and comforts you will surely be called to account in the Hereafter."
