In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Calamity!
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم القارعة
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
What is the terrible calamity!
What is the Calamity ?
ما القارعة
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
And what will make you comprehend what the terrible calamity is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
وما أدراك ما القارعة
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
He shall live a pleasant life.
He will live a pleasant life.
فهو في عيشة راضية
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
But as for him whose scales are light,
وأما من خفت موازينه
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
His abode shall be the abyss.
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
فأمه هاوية
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
And what will make you know what it is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
وما أدراك ما هيه
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
