The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
The event that terrifies the hearts! 1 What is the Striking Calamity? 2 And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is? 3 A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths 4 And the mountains will be like carded wool, 5 Then as for him whose balances are heavy, 6 He will live a pleasant life. 7 But as for him whose deeds are light on the scales, 8 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, 9 And what can make you know what that is? 10 It is the scorching fire. 11
