Al-Qâri'ah

(1)Al-Qâri'ah (the striking Hour i.e. the Day of Resurrection),

(2)What is the striking (Hour)?

(3)And what will make you know what the striking (Hour) is?

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

(5)And the mountains will be like carded wool,

(6)Then as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be heavy,[]

(7)He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise).

(8)But as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be light,

(9)He will have his home in Hawiyah (pit, i.e. Hell).

(10)And what will make you know what it is?

(11)(It is) a hot blazing Fire!

Al-'Adiyât

(1)By the (steeds) that run, with panting (breath),

(2)Striking sparks of fire (by their hooves),

(3)And scouring to the raid at dawn

(4)And raise the dust in clouds the while,

(5)Penetrating forthwith as one into the midst (of the foe);

(6)Verily! Man (disbeliever) is ungrateful to his Lord;

(7)And to that fact he bears witness (by his deeds);

(8)And verily, he is violent in the love of wealth.

(9)Knows he not that when the contents of the graves are brought out and poured forth (all mankind is resurrected).

(10)And that which is in the breasts (of men) shall be made known.

(11)Verily, that Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) their Lord will be Well-Acquainted with them (as to their deeds), (and will reward them for their deeds).
