101: The Calamity, the Stunning Blow, the Disaster
 
1

The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:

 
2

What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?

 
3

And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?

 
4

(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,

 
5

And the mountains will be like carded wool.

 
6

Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,

 
7

Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.

 
8

But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light,-

 
9

Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.

 
10

And what will explain to thee what this is?

 
11

(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
