Chapter 101, 11 verses
The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:
AlqariAAatu
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم القارعة
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
Ma alqariAAatu
ما القارعة
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
Wama adraka ma alqariAAatu
وما أدراك ما القارعة
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin
فهو في عيشة راضية
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -
Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu
وأما من خفت موازينه
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
Faommuhu hawiyatun
فأمه هاوية
And what will explain to thee what this is?
Wama adraka ma hiyah
وما أدراك ما هيه
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
Narun hamiyatun
نار حامية
