The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Al-Qari'ah (the striking Hour i.e. the Day of Resurrection), 1 What is the startling calamity? 2 And what will make you comprehend what the terrible calamity is? 3 On that Day human beings shall be like scattered moths, 4 And the mountains will be like carded wool. 5 Then he whose deeds weigh heavy in the Scale 6 shall live in a life which is pleasing, 7 but he whose deeds weigh light in the Balance 8 his shall be the deep pit for a dwelling. 9 And what could make thee conceive what that [abyss] will be? 10 A Fire vehemently hot! 11
