The Striking Calamity -

Al qaari'ah

What is the Striking Calamity?

Mal qaariah

And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?

Wa maa adraaka mal qaari'ah

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

Yauma ya koonun naasu kal farashil mabthooth

And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.

Wa ta koonul jibalu kal 'ihnil manfoosh

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

Fa-amma man thaqulat mawa zeenuh

He will be in a pleasant life.

Fahuwa fee 'ishatir raadiyah

But as for one whose scales are light,

Wa amma man khaffat mawa zeenuh

His refuge will be an abyss.

Fa-ummuhu haawiyah

And what can make you know what that is?

Wa maa adraaka maa hiyah

It is a Fire, intensely hot.

Naarun hamiyah
