The Striking Calamity -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْقَارِعَةُ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Calamity!
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
What is the Striking Calamity?
مَا الْقَارِعَةُ
What is the Calamity ?
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
He will be in a pleasant life.
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
He will live a pleasant life.
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
But as for one whose scales are light,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ
But as for him whose scales are light,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
His refuge will be an abyss.
فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
And what can make you know what that is?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ
Raging Fire.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
