The Catastrophe!
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ

What is the Catastrophe?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
wa-mā ˈadrāka mā l-qāriʿatu
What will show you what is the Catastrophe?
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
yawma yakūnu n-nāsu ka-l-farāši l-mabṯūṯi
[It is] the day when mankind will be like scattered moths
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
wa-takūnu l-ǧibālu ka-l-ʿihni l-manfūši
and the mountains like carded wool.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
fa-ˈammā man ṯaqulat mawāzīnuhū
As for him, whose deeds weigh heavy in the scales,
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
fa-huwa fī ʿīšatin rāḍiyatin
he will have a pleasing life.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
wa-ˈammā man ḫaffat mawāzīnuhū
But as for him, whose deeds weigh light in the scales,
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
fa-ˈummuhū hāwiyatun
his home will be the Abyss.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
wa-mā ˈadrāka mā hiyah
And what will show you what it is?
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
nārun ḥāmiyatun
It is a scorching fire!
