The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:
The Striking Calamity -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم القارعة
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
What is the Striking Calamity?
ما القارعة
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
وما أدراك ما القارعة
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
He will be in a pleasant life.
فهو في عيشة راضية
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -
But as for one whose scales are light,
وأما من خفت موازينه
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
His refuge will be an abyss.
فأمه هاوية
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
And what will explain to thee what this is?
And what can make you know what that is?
وما أدراك ما هيه
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
نار حامية
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
