Surah Al-Qari'ah (The Calamity)

ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

101:1 The Striking Disaster!

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

101:2 What is the Striking Disaster?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

101:3 And what will make you realize what the Striking Disaster is?

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ

101:4 ˹It is˺ the Day people will be like scattered moths,

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ

101:5 and the mountains will be like carded wool.

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

101:6 So as for those whose scale is heavy ˹with good deeds˺,

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ

101:7 they will be in a life of bliss.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

101:8 And as for those whose scale is light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ

101:9 their home will be the abyss.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ

101:10 And what will make you realize what that is?

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ

101:11 ˹It is˺ a scorching Fire.
