The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
THE STARTLING CALAMITY. 1 What is the startling calamity? 2 And what will make you know what the striking (Hour) is? 3 (It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about, 4 and the mountains shall be like fluffs of carded wool in varying colours. 5 Then, the one whose good deeds weigh heavy on the scales, 6 He shall live a pleasant life. 7 but he whose scales weigh lighter, 8 Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit. 9 Would that you knew what hawiya his? 10 A blazing Fire! 11
