”Al Qariah” English translation

The Sudden Catastrophe!

What is the Disaster of Striking?

And what would enlighten you about the nature of the Striking Disaster?

Today is the day when individuals will resemble dispersed moths,

and it will resemble carded wool in the mountains.

Regarding those whose weight is high in good acts,

They will lead happy lives.

Regarding those with a light scale,

their home will be the darkness

And what will make you know what that is?

˹It is˺ a burning Fire.
