Al qaari'ah

The Striking Calamity -

Mal qaariah

What is the Striking Calamity?

Wa ma adraaka mal qaari'ah

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

Yauma ya koonun naasu kal farashil mabthouth

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

Wa ta koonul jibalu kal 'ihnil manfoush

And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.

Fa-amma man thaqulat mawa zeenuh

So as for those whose scale is heavy ˹with good deeds˺,

Fahuwa fee 'ishatir raadiyah

they will be in a life of bliss.

Wa amma man khaffat mawa zeenuh

And as for those whose scale is light,

Fa-ummuhu haawiyah

their home will be the abyss.

Wa ma adraaka maa hiyah

And what will make you realize what that is?

Naarun hamiyah

˹It is˺ a scorching Fire.
