The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
OH, the sudden calamity! 1 What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour? 2 And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is? 3 A Day on which human beings would be like so many scattered moths, 4 And the mountains will be like carded wool. 5 Then he whose deeds weigh heavy in the Scale 6 will have a most pleasing life. 7 But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light,- 8 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, 9 Would that you knew what hawiya his? 10 It is a Fire, intensely hot. 11
