Sūra CI.
Al-Qāri’a, or The Day of Noise and Clamour.
In the name of God, Most Gracious,
Most Merciful.
1. The (Day) of
Noise and Clamour:
2. What is the (Day)
Of Noise and Clamour?
3. And what will explain
To thee what the (Day)
Of Noise and Clamour is?
4. (It is) a Day whereon
Men will be like moths
Scattered about,
5. And the mountains
Will be like carded wool.
6. Then, he whose
Balance (of good deeds)
Will be (found) heavy,
7. Will be in a Life
Of good pleasure and
satisfaction.
8. But he whose
Balance (of good deeds)
Will be (found) light,—
9. Will have his home
In a (bottomless) Pit.
10. And what will explain
To thee what this is?
11. (It is) a Fire
Blazing fiercely!
