The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Al-Qari'ah (the striking Hour i.e. the Day of Resurrection), 1 What is the Calamity? 2 And what could make thee conceive what that sudden calamity will be? 3 (It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about, 4 and the mount-ains like tufts of carded wool. 5 Then he whose deeds weigh heavy in the Balance 6 Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction. 7 but he whose scales weigh lighter, 8 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, 9 And what shall teach thee what is the Pit? 10 It is a burning Fire. 11
