The Calamity • 11 Ayahs • Meccan
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
OH, the sudden calamity!
How awesome the sudden calamity!
And what could make thee conceive what that sudden calamity will be?
[It will occur] on the Day when men will be like moths swarming in confusion,
and the mountains will be like fluffy tufts of wool....
And then, he whose weight [of good deeds] is heavy in the balance
shall find himself in a happy' state of life;
whereas he whose weight is light in the balance
shall be engulfed by an abyss.
And what could make thee conceive what that [abyss] will be?
A fire hotly burning!
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
