The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
The event that terrifies the hearts! 1 What is the striking (Hour)? 2 How will you comprehend what the startling calamity 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 Those whose good deeds will weigh heavier (on the scale) 6 shall have a blissful life; 7 But as for one whose scales are light, 8 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, 9 And what shall make thee know that which she is? 10 A Blazing Fire! 11
