Surah Al-Qari'ah

الْقَارِعَةُ۝١

The Striking Calamity -

مَا الْقَارِعَةُ۝٢

What is the Striking Calamity?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ۝٣

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

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ۝٤

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

وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ۝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 عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ۝٧

He will be in a pleasant life.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ۝٨

But as for one whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌۭ۝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.
