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