The Holy Quran 102:2 — Surah At-Takathur

Arabic text

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ

Translation

...(and this rivalry will continue making you negligent) until you reach the graves (when you die). (It is only once a person dies that he realises the futility of amassing wealth because none of it will benefit him in the Aakhirah.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
