The Calamity

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[101:1]

The Calamity!

[101:2]

What is the Calamity ?

[101:3]

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!

[101:4]

A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths

[101:5]

And the mountains will become as carded wool.

[101:6]

Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),

[101:7]

He will live a pleasant life.

[101:8]

But as for him whose scales are light,

[101:9]

A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,

[101:10]

Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! –

[101:11]

Raging Fire.
