101. al-Qari`ah: The Terrible Calamity
1 The Calamity!
2 What is the Calamity ?

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

4 A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths

5 And the mountains will become as carded wool.

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

7 He will live a pleasant life.
8 But as for him whose scales are light,
9 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
10 Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
11 Raging Fire.
