Surah 101: Al-Qaari'a سُورَةُ القَارِعَةِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱلْقَارِعَةُ 1

¹The Calamity!

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ 2

²What is the Calamity?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ 3

³Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ 4

⁴A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ 5

⁵And the mountains will become as carded wool.

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ 6

⁶Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ 7

⁷He will live a pleasant life.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ 8

⁸But as for him whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ 9

⁹A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ 10

¹⁰Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ 11

¹¹Raging Fire.
