Surah Al-Qari'ah (The Calamity)


In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

The (Day of) Calamity! [1]
What is the (Day of) Calamity? [2]
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the (Day of) Calamity is! [3]
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about, [4]
And the mountains will be like carded wool. [5]
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy, [6]
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction. [7]
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, [8]
Will have his home in Hawiyah. [9]
And what will explain to thee what Hawiyah is? [10]
(It is) a fire blazing fiercely! [11]
