The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The (unprecedented) crash! 1 What is the event that terrifies the hearts? 2 And what will make you know what the striking (Hour) is? 3 On that day, people will be like scattered moths 4 The mountains like the tufts of carded wool. 5 And then, he whose weight [of good deeds] is heavy in the balance 6 shall have a blissful life; 7 but he whose scales weigh lighter, 8 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, 9 And what will make you know what it is? 10 A burning fire. 11
