The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most 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 mountains like tufts of carded wool. 5 Then he whose deeds weigh heavy in the Balance 6 shall live in a life which is pleasing, 7 But as for him whose scales are light, 8 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, 9 And what will explain to thee what this is? 10 (It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely! 11
