Surah Al-Qari'ah

ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ﴿١﴾

Al qaari'ah

1The Striking Calamity -

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ﴿٢﴾

Mal qaariah

2What is the Striking Calamity?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ﴿٣﴾

Wa maa adraaka mal qaari'ah

3And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ ﴿٤﴾

Yauma ya koonun naasu kal farashil mabthooth

4It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ ﴿٥﴾

Wa ta koonul jibalu kal 'ihnil manfoosh

5And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ﴿٦﴾

Fa-amma man thaqulat mawa zeenuh

6Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ ﴿٧﴾

Fahuwa fee 'ishatir raadiyah

7He will be in a pleasant life.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ﴿٨﴾

Wa amma man khaffat mawa zeenuh

8But as for one whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌۭ ﴿٩﴾

Fa-ummuhu haawiyah

9His refuge will be an abyss.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ ﴿١٠﴾

Wa maa adraaka maa hiyah

10And what can make you know what that is?

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ ﴿١١﴾

Naarun hamiyah

11It is a Fire, intensely hot.
