Surah Al-Qari'ah: The Calamity

Revealed at Makkah



With the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Rewarding


101:1
THE Great Calamity!


101:2
What is the Great Calamity?


101:3
Ha! what will make you know what the Great Calamity is!


101:4
On that Day mankind will be like moths scattered,


101:5
and the mountains will become like wool carded.


101:6
Then as to him whose balances are heavy,


101:7
he will then be in a life of satisfaction.


101:8
But as to him whose balances are light,


101:9
the abyss will then be his mother.


101:10
And what will make you know what that is?


101:11
A blazing Fire.
