The Striking Calamity
مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ
What is the Striking Calamity
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity
يَوۡمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلۡفَرَاشِ ٱلۡمَبۡثُوثِ
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed
وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٱلۡمَنفُوشِ

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds]
