Surah At-Takathur

102

The surah's big idea

Collecting more must not distract us from obeying Allah

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

One branch per meaning, one node per verse. Reveal the branches one at a time; listen to each branch and repeat it before the next.

That should not have distracted you! You will know that the Hereafter is better for you, then you will know how bad it was to be distracted from it. If you truly knew, competing for more would not distract you.
