101 - The Calamity - Al-Qāri`ah

The Calamity!

What is the Calamity?

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!

A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths

And the mountains will become as carded wool.

Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),

He will live a pleasant life.

But as for him whose scales are light,

A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,

Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -

Raging Fire.
