ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ 1
The Striking Calamity -
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ 2
What is the Striking Calamity?
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ 3
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
يَوۡمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلۡفَرَاشِ ٱلۡمَبۡثُوثِ 4
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٱلۡمَنفُوشِ 5
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ 6
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةࣲ رَّاضِيَةࣲ 7
He will be in a pleasant life.
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ 8
But as for one whose scales are light,
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةࣱ 9
His refuge will be an abyss.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهۡ 10
And what can make you know what that is?
نَارٌ حَامِيَةُۢ 11
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
