The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
THE STARTLING CALAMITY. 1 What is the striking (Hour)? 2 And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is? 3 (It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about, 4 The mountains like the tufts of carded wool. 5 Then, the one whose good deeds weigh heavy on the scales, 6 He shall live a pleasant life. 7 And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light, 8 Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit. 9 And what shall make thee know that which she is? 10 A burning fire. 11
