ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ

The Striking Calamity

مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ

What is the Striking Calamity

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ

And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity

يَوۡمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلۡفَرَاشِ ٱلۡمَبۡثُوثِ

It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed

وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٱلۡمَنفُوشِ

And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds]

فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ

He will be in a pleasant life

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

But as for one whose scales are light

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٞ

His refuge will be an abyss

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهۡ

And what can make you know what that is

نَارٌ حَامِيَةُۢ

It is a Fire, intensely hot
