Surah Al-Qari'ah (The Calamity)

ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

101:1 The Crashing Blow.

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

101:2 What is the Crashing Blow?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

101:3 And what could make you know what the Crashing Blow is?

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ

101:4 The Day people will be like scattered moths,

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ

101:5 and the mountains will be like fluffed-up wool.

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

101:6 Then as for the one whose scales are heavy,

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ

101:7 So he will be in a pleasing life,

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

101:8 But as for the one whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ

101:9 his refuge will be the Pit.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ

101:10 And what could make you know what it is?

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ

101:11 A blazing Fire.
