The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The Calamity! 1 What is the Striking? 2 Would that you knew what the crash is! 3 [It will occur] on the Day when men will be like moths swarming in confusion, 4 and the mountains will be like fluffy tufts of wool.... 5 So for one whose scales prove heavy, 6 will live a pleasant life, 7 But he whose deeds are lighter in the balance 8 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, 9 And what will explain to thee what this is? 10 A flaming fire! 11
