ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
ما القارعة

What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
وما أدراك ما القارعة
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فهو في عيشة راضية
He will be in a pleasant life.
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
وأما من خفت موازينه
But as for one whose scales are light,
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فأمه هاوية
His refuge will be an abyss.
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
وما أدراك ما هيه

And what will explain to thee what this is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
نار حامية
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
