Quran 101, Al-Qari'a (The Catastrophe)

101:1The Calamity!

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْقَارِعَةُ

101:3Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ

101:4A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ

101:5And the mountains will become as carded wool.

وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنْفُوشِ

101:6Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),

فَأَمَّا مَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ

101:7He will live a pleasant life.

فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَاضِيَةٍ

101:8But as for him whose scales are light,

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ

101:9A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,

فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ

101:10Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ
