Chapter 101, 11 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Calamity!
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم القارعة
AlqariAAatu
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
What is the Calamity ?
ما القارعة
Ma alqariAAatu
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
وما أدراك ما القارعة
Wama adraka ma alqariAAatu
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
He will live a pleasant life.
فهو في عيشة راضية
Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
But as for him whose scales are light,
وأما من خفت موازينه
Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
فأمه هاوية
Faommuhu hawiyatun
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
وما أدراك ما هيه
Wama adraka ma hiyah
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
Raging Fire.
نار حامية
Narun hamiyatun
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
