The Ruling on the Hadith: (Whoever recites Surat al-Takathur...)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You say at the end of this point: Whoever recites Surat al-Takathur, it is as if he has fulfilled gratitude?
Answer:
It has no basis, but it warns against the competition for worldly things that distracts from the Hereafter. [Al-Takathur:1] Allah censured those who did this, for their competition in wealth and children distracted them until they visited the graves—until they died.
So the verse warns against this and alerts that it is obligatory for every believing man and woman to take care of preparing for the Hereafter, to provision for the Hereafter with mindfulness of Allah, and to beware of being occupied with competition in wealth and children to the extent that it distracts them from the work of the Hereafter.
