AlqariAAatu

The Striking Calamity!

Ma alqariAAatu

What is the Striking Calamity?

Wama adraka ma alqariAAatu

How do you know what the Striking Calamity is?

Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi

On that Day people will be like scattered moths[1],

Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi

and the mountains will be like carded wool[2].

Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu

Then the one whose scales of good deeds are heavy,

Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin

will have a pleasant life[3].

Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu

But the one whose scales of good deeds are light,

Faommuhu hawiyatun

his abode will be the abyss[4].

Wama adraka ma hiyah

And how do you know what it is?

Narun hamiyatun

It is a Blazing Fire.
