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