ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ﴿١﴾

The event that terrifies the hearts!

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ﴿٢﴾

What is the event that terrifies the hearts?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ﴿٣﴾

And what have you understood, what the event that terrifies the hearts is!

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ ﴿٤﴾

The day when men will be like scattered moths.

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ ﴿٥﴾

And mountains will be like flying wool.

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ﴿٦﴾

So for one whose scales prove heavy,

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ ﴿٧﴾

He is therefore in the desired bliss.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ﴿٨﴾

And for one whose scales prove light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌۭ ﴿٩﴾

He is in the lap of one that abases.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ ﴿١٠﴾

And what have you understood, what the one that abases is!

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ ﴿١١﴾

A flaming fire!
