In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Calamity!
AlqariAAatu
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
ما القارعة
What is the Calamity ?
Ma alqariAAatu
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
وما أدراك ما القارعة
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
Wama adraka ma alqariAAatu
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فهو في عيشة راضية
He will live a pleasant life.
Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
وأما من خفت موازينه
But as for him whose scales are light,
Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فأمه هاوية
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
Faommuhu hawiyatun
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
وما أدراك ما هيه
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
Wama adraka ma hiyah
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
نار حامية
Raging Fire.
Narun hamiyatun
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
