Surah Al-Qaari'a — The Calamity
Read Surah Al-Qaari'a (“The Calamity”), the 101st chapter of the Qur'an, in Arabic with a verbatim English translation. Every verse below is quoted word for word — nothing paraphrased.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
The Striking Calamity -
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
What is the Striking Calamity?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ
He will be in a pleasant life.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
But as for one whose scales are light,
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌۭ
His refuge will be an abyss.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
And what can make you know what that is?
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
The whole Qur'an with translation — read it, listen to it, fall asleep to it. And a companion to read it with.
