The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
OH, the sudden calamity! 1 What is the event that terrifies the hearts? 2 What shall let you know what the Clatterer is! 3 [It will occur] on the Day when men will be like moths swarming in confusion, 4 And the mountains will become as carded wool. 5 Then, the one whose good deeds weigh heavy on the scales, 6 shall live in a life which is pleasing, 7 And for one whose scales prove light, 8 His abode shall be the abyss. 9 And what have you understood, what the one that abases is! 10 It is the scorching fire. 11
