1Elhâkümü-ttekâŝür.
2Ḥattâ zürtümü-lmeḳâbir.
Verses 1–2
O people! Your excessive passion for piling up and amassing wealth has all but blinded you. As though this were the purpose of your creation, you compete with one another in it, and you boast of what you have multiplied and let it divert you. Yet Allah created the human being so that he would strive to live by the divine system and morality, compete with others in drawing ever nearer to his Lord, and take no god other than Him. The passion for amassing wealth of the human being who disregards this truth has veiled his eyes and his heart until he falls into the pit of the grave.
