Al-Qari'ah
ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ
The Smiter!
مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ
What is the Smiter?
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ
And what makes you realize what the Smiter is?
يَوۡمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلۡفَرَاشِ ٱلۡمَبۡثُوثِ
The Day (whereon) mankind will be like disseminated moths,
وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٱلۡمَنفُوشِ
And the mountains will be like carded wool tufts,
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
Then, as for him whose scales weigh heavy, (i.e., with good deeds).
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ
So he will be in a satisfied livelihood.
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
And, as for him whose scales weigh light, (i.e., with deeds).
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٞ
Then his home is the bottom of Hell (Literally: his mother is tumbling into Hell).
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهۡ
And what makes you realize what it is?
