101. Surah Al-Qari'ah (The Striking Hour)

Al-Qariah: is the 101st chapter (sura) of the Quran with 11 verses. This chapter takes its name from its first word "qariah", referring to the Quranic view of the end time. 

"Qariah" has been translated to calamity, striking, catastrophe, clatterer, etc. According to Ibn Kathir, a traditional exegete, Al-Qariah is one of the names of the Day of Judgement, like Al-Haaqqa, At-Tammah, As-Sakhkhah and others.

After a picturesque depiction of judgement day in first 5 ayaat, next 4 ayat describe that Allah's Court will be established and the people will be called upon to account for their deeds. The people whose good deeds will be heavier, will be blessed with bliss and happiness, and the people whose good deeds will be lighter, will be cast into the burning fire of hell.

The last 2 ayaat describe Háwíyah in similar emphatic way as Al-Qariah was emphasized in the beginning.

                                                 

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

1. The Calamity! 

2. What is the Calamity ? 

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

4. A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths 

5. And the mountains will become as carded wool. 

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

7. He will live a pleasant life. 

8. But as for him whose scales are light, 

9. A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother, 

10. Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! - 

11. Raging Fire.
