مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ

What is the Striking Calamity

Ma alqariAAatu

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ

يَوۡمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلۡفَرَاشِ ٱلۡمَبۡثُوثِ

It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed

Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi

وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٱلۡمَنفُوشِ

And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up

Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds]

Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu

فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ

He will be in a pleasant life

Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

But as for one whose scales are light

Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٞ

His refuge will be an abyss

Faommuhu hawiyatun

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهۡ

And what can make you know what that is

Wama adraka ma hiyah

نَارٌ حَامِيَةُۢ

It is a Fire, intensely hot

Narun hamiyatun
