The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
THE STARTLING CALAMITY. 1 What is the terrible calamity! 2 And what do you know what the Calamity is? 3 The day when men will be like scattered moths. 4 and the mountains will be like fluffy tufts of wool.... 5 Then he whose deeds weigh heavy in the Balance 6 He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise). 7 But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light,- 8 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, 9 And what could make thee conceive what that [abyss] will be? 10 (It is) a Fire which is extremely hot. 11
