The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ2
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ3
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ4
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ5
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ6
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ7
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ8
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light,-
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌۭ9
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ10
And what will explain to thee what this is?
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ11
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
