ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ١
The Striking Disaster!
مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ ٢
What is the Striking Disaster?
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ
And what will make you realize
مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ ٣
what the Striking Disaster is?
يَوۡمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلۡفَرَاشِ ٱلۡمَبۡثُوثِ ٤
˹It is˺ the Day people will be like scattered moths,
وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٱلۡمَنفُوشِ ٥
and the mountains will be like carded wool.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ٦
So as for those whose scale is heavy ˹with good deeds˺,
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ ٧
they will be in a life of bliss.
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ٨
And as for those whose scale is light,
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٞ ٩
their home will be the abyss.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ
And what will make you realize
مَا هِيَهۡ ١٠
what that is?
نَارٌ حَامِيَةُۢ ١١
˹It is˺ a scorching Fire.
