101. Al-Qari'ah (The Disaster)

Meccan, 11 verses

In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

  1. The pounding disaster.

  2. What is the pounding disaster?

  3. And how would you know what the pounding disaster is?

  4. A day when the people become like scattered butterflies

  5. and the mountains become like fluffed up colored wool.

  6. As for anyone whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy,

  7. then he is in a pleasant life.

  8. And as for anyone whose balance (of good deeds) is light,

  9. then his residence is a bottomless pit.

  10. And how would you know what it is?

  11. (It is) a scorching fire.
