The Holy Quran
101. Surah Al-Qari'ah (The Calamity)
Arabic and English translation and transliteration
Period of Revelation
Mecca
Introduction
Like many surahs, the Quran here introduces a term (Al-Qariah, meaning The Calamity, The Clatterer, The Stunning Blow, or The Disaster), and asks what it means: "The Striking Calamity! What is the Striking Calamity? And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?".
The answer is said to be a specific day, which has not yet come to pass. On that day "men will be like scattered moths, and the mountains shall be like plucked wool". This day is presumably the Day of Judgment. The image is of chaos and collapse, both of the social order of humanity, and of the cosmological order of the universe itself.
The surah continues with this theme of balance The surah ends as it began, asking about how one will learn the meaning of the word "the abyss" - which is explained to be known in "the blazing fire" of Hell.
