Surah 101

ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
The Striking Disaster!
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
What is the Striking Disaster?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
And what will make you realize what the Striking Disaster is?
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
˹It is˺ the Day people will be like scattered moths,
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
and the mountains will be like carded wool.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
So as for those whose scale is heavy ˹with good deeds˺,
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
they will be in a life of bliss.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
And as for those whose scale is light,
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
their home will be the abyss.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
And what will make you realize what that is?
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
˹It is˺ a scorching Fire.
