    About Surah At-Takathur

    At-Takathur, the Rivalry, warns against being consumed by piling up wealth and competing in worldly gain until the grave. It states plainly that people will be questioned about the blessings they enjoyed, and reminds them that if they truly knew the reality of the Hereafter, they would not be so distracted.
