ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
ما القارعة

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