The Striking Calamity -
What is the Striking Calamity?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ 3
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ 4
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنْفُوشِ 5
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ 6
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَاضِيَةٍ 7
He will be in a pleasant life.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ 8
But as for one whose scales are light,
His refuge will be an abyss.
And what can make you know what that is?
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
