The Striking Calamity -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم القارعة
The terrible calamity!
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
What is the Striking Calamity?
ما القارعة
What is the terrible calamity!
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
وما أدراك ما القارعة
And what will make you comprehend what the terrible calamity is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
He will be in a pleasant life.
فهو في عيشة راضية
He shall live a pleasant life.
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
But as for one whose scales are light,
وأما من خفت موازينه
And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
His refuge will be an abyss.
فأمه هاوية
His abode shall be the abyss.
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
And what can make you know what that is?
وما أدراك ما هيه
And what will make you know what it is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
نار حامية
A burning fire.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
