The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Al-Qari'ah (the striking Hour i.e. the Day of Resurrection), 1 What is the Calamity? 2 How will you comprehend what the startling calamity is? -- 3 The day that men shall be like scattered moths, 4 and the mountains shall be like fluffs of carded wool in varying colours. 5 Then he whose deeds shall weigh heavier in the scale 6 He shall be in a life well-pleasing. 7 whereas he whose weight is light in the balance 8 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, 9 And what will make you know what it is? 10 A Fire vehemently hot! 11
