What is this hour that strikes the hearts of people because of the severity of its horrors?
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ
O Messenger! And what do you know of this hour that strikes the hearts of people because of the severity of its horrors? It is the Day of Judgement.
يَوۡمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلۡفَرَاشِ ٱلۡمَبۡثُوثِ
On the day when the hearts of people will be struck, they will be like locusts, dispersed here and there.

And the mountains will be like carded wool, in the way they will move from their places with force.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
As for the one whose good deeds will outweigh his evil deeds.
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ
He will live a contented life which he will achieve in Paradise.
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
And as for the one whose evil deeds outweigh his good deeds.
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٞ
His abode and permanent resting place will be hell on the Day of Judgement.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهۡ
O Messenger! What do you know what that is?
نَارٌ حَامِيَةُۢ
It is the intensely hot hellfire.
