The Calamity!

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

What is the Calamity?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

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

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ

A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ

And the mountains will become as carded wool.

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

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

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ

He will live a pleasant life.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

But as for him whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ

A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ

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

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ

Raging Fire.
