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

Yawma yakoonu an-naasu kal-faraashil-mabthooth

It is the Day when people will be like scattered moths

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ

And the mountains will be like fluffed wool

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

Then as for one whose scales are heavy with good deeds

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ

Fahuwa fee 'eeshatin raadiyah

He will be in a pleasant life

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ

Wa ammaa man khaffat mawazeenuh

But as for one whose scales are light

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌۭ

His refuge will be an abyss

And what can make you know what that is

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ

Naarun haamiyah

It is a Fire blazing hotly
