Al-Qari'ah
The Calamity
القارعة
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The Striking Calamity
ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ
What is the Striking Calamity
مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed
يَوۡمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلۡفَرَاشِ ٱلۡمَبۡثُوثِ
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up
وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٱلۡمَنفُوشِ
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds]
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
He will be in a pleasant life
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ
But as for one whose scales are light
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
His refuge will be an abyss
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٞ
And what can make you know what that is
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهۡ
It is a Fire, intensely hot
نَارٌ حَامِيَةُۢ
