The Shocker (Al-Qaare'ah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The terrible calamity! 1 What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour? 2 Would that you knew what the Clatterer is! 3 The day on which men shall be as scattered moths, 4 and the mountains will be like fluffy tufts of wool.... 5 Then he whose scales weigh heavier 6 Will have a tranquil life; 7 but he whose deeds weigh light in the Balance 8 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, 9 Would that you knew what hawiya his? 10 It is a blazing fire. 11
