101 - Surah Al-Qari'ah القارعة

The Striking Calamity -

al-qāriʿatu

What is the Striking Calamity?

mā l-qāriʿatu

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

wamā adrāka mā l-qāriʿatu

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

yawma yakūnu l-nāsu kal-farāshi l-mabthūthi

And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.

watakūnu l-jibālu kal-ʿih'ni l-manfūshi

Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],

fa-ammā man thaqulat mawāzīnuhu

He will be in a pleasant life.

fahuwa fī ʿīshatin rāḍiyatin

But as for one whose scales are light,

wa-ammā man khaffat mawāzīnuhu

His refuge will be an abyss.

fa-ummuhu hāwiyatun

And what can make you know what that is?

wamā adrāka mā hiyah

It is a Fire, intensely hot.

nārun ḥāmiyatun
