ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ١

The Striking Disaster

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ٢

What is the Striking Disaster

وَمَآ أَدْرَٮٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ٣

And what will make you realize what the Striking Disaster is

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ ٤

˹It is˺ the Day people will be like scattered moths

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ ٥

and the mountains will be like carded wool

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٲزِينُهُۥ ٦

So as for those whose scale is heavy ˹with good deeds˺

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ ٧

they will be in a life of bliss

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٲزِينُهُۥ ٨

And as for those whose scale is light

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ ٩

their home will be the abyss

وَمَآ أَدْرَٮٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ ١٠

And what will make you realize what that is

نَارٌ حَامِيَةُۢ ١١

˹It is˺ a scorching Fire
