What is the Striking Calamity?

And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
Wama adraka ma alqariAAatu
وما أدراك ما القارعة

It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث

And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.

Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu
فأما من ثقلت موازينه

He will be in a pleasant life.

فهو في عيشة راضية

But as for one whose scales are light,
Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu

His refuge will be an abyss.
Faommuhu hawiyatun
فأمه هاوية

Narun hamiyatun
نار حامية
