Al-Qari'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
