Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you, until you visit the graveyards. No! You will soon know. Then, no! You will soon know. No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty, you would see the Hellfire. Then you would see it with the eye of certainty. Then you would be asked on that Day about the [worldly] enjoyment.”

The Shaykh : Allah the Mighty and Majestic said: . The address is to people, and “diverts you” means it occupies you from the remembrance of Allah, from prayer, and from obedience to Allah. “Competition in [worldly] increase” means competing in wealth and children, as Allah the Exalted said: . It is complete. . It diverts people from the obedience of Allah, as the Mighty and Majestic said: .
And Allah the Mighty and Majestic has spoken the truth. Look at those who were tested with the love of this world and preferring it over the Hereafter; how it diverted them from the remembrance of Allah, how it occupied them—occupying the heart, the mind, and the body—in seeking the life of this world. Until when? Read , meaning until you die, while you are heedless of it. Is visiting the graveyards near or far?
Answer: It is near.
Is it known or unknown? It is unknown. Perhaps a person is in the grave at the end of the day, and it is the beginning of the day in the grave.
And the meaning of: is until you die and are buried in the graveyards. Allah the Exalted called that a visit because a person does not remain in his grave; resurrection is inevitable. So his stay in the graves is a visit. This indicates the long duration of the Hereafter and that it has no end, because we know that there are people in the graves who have been there for millions of years, and Allah called it a visit. We do not know what remains of the world; it is all a visit. A Bedouin heard—listen, my brother—“A Bedouin heard a man reciting the saying of Allah the Exalted:

Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you until you visit the graves.

ألهاكم التكاثر حتى زرتم المقابر

. So this Bedouin said, ‘By Allah, there is something behind the graveyards. By Allah, there is something behind the graveyards, because the visitor is not a resident.’”. Does the one who visits you stay with you always, or does he leave? He leaves. So this Bedouin understood, with his Arab taste, and the Noble Qur'an is Arabic, that the visit means that one must leave these graves for the abode of the Hereafter.
May Allah make us and you among the happy ones therein.
