ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

The Striking Calamity -

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

What is the Striking Calamity?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ

It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ

And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ

He will be in a pleasant life.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

But as for one whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ

His refuge will be an abyss.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ

And what can make you know what that is?

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ

It is a Fire, intensely hot.
