What is the Crashing Blow?
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ
What will explain to you what the Crashing Blow is?
يَوۡمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلۡفَرَاشِ ٱلۡمَبۡثُوثِ
On a Day when people will be like scattered moths
وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٱلۡمَنفُوشِ
and the mountains like tufts of wool,
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
the one whose good deeds are heavy on the scales
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ
will have a pleasant life,
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
but the one whose good deeds are light
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٞ
will have the Bottomless Pit for his home––
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهۡ

نَارٌ حَامِيَةُۢ
a blazing fire.
