ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ١
The Striking Calamity -
القارعة
Al-Qari'ah
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ٢
What is the Striking Calamity?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ٣
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ ٤
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ ٥
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ٦
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ ٧
He will be in a pleasant life.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ٨
But as for one whose scales are light,
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ ٩
His refuge will be an abyss.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ ١٠
And what can make you know what that is?
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ ١١
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
