ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ ١
The Catastrophe!
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ ٢
What is the Catastrophe?
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ ٣
What will show you what is the Catastrophe?
يَوۡمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلۡفَرَاشِ ٱلۡمَبۡثُوثِ ٤
[It is] the day when mankind will be like scattered moths
وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٱلۡمَنفُوشِ ٥
and the mountains like carded wool.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ٦
As for him, whose deeds weigh heavy in the scales,
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ ٧
he will have a pleasing life.
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ٨
But as for him, whose deeds weigh light in the scales,
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٞ ٩
his home will be the Abyss.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهۡ ١٠
And what will show you what it is?
نَارٌ حَامِيَةُۢ ١١
It is a scorching fire!
