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? 2 And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is? 3 [It will occur] on the Day when men will be like moths swarming in confusion, 4 and the mount-ains like tufts of carded wool. 5 Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy, 6 shall live in a life which is pleasing, 7 but he whose scales weigh lighter, 8 His dwelling shall be the Abyss. 9 And what could make thee conceive what that [abyss] will be? 10 It is the scorching fire. 11
