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 startling calamity? 2 And what will make you know what the striking (Hour) is? 3 It is a Day whereon mankind will be like moths scattered about, 4 and mountains will be like carded wool. 5 Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works), 6 He shall be in a life well-pleasing. 7 But as for him whose deeds are light on the scales, 8 He will have his home in Hawiyah (pit, i.e. Hell). 9 Would that you knew what hawiya his? 10 A Fire vehemently hot! 11
