Sorah Al-Qari'ah ( The Striking Hour ) - Verses Number 11
الْقَارِعَةُ ( 1 ) 
The Striking Calamity -
مَا الْقَارِعَةُ ( 2 )
What is the Striking Calamity?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ ( 3 )
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ ( 4 )
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ ( 5 )
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ ( 6 )
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ ( 7 )
He will be in a pleasant life.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ ( 8 )
But as for one whose scales are light,
فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ ( 9 )
His refuge will be an abyss.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ ( 10 )
And what can make you know what that is?
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ ( 11 )
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
