Surah “The Calamity, The Stunning Blow, The Disaster, The Terrible Calamity”

as rendered by Ahmed Ali — 11 verses

THE STARTLING CALAMITY
What is the startling calamity
How will you comprehend what the startling calamity is? -
A Day on which human beings would be like so many scattered moths
The mountains like the tufts of carded wool
Then he whose deeds shall weigh heavier in the scale
Will have a tranquil life
But he whose deeds are lighter in the balance
Will have the Abyss for abode
How will you comprehend what that is
It is the scorching fire
