    About Surah Al-Qari'ah

    Al-Qari'ah, the Striking Calamity, names one of the terms for the Day of Judgment and pictures people scattered like moths and mountains like carded wool. It describes the weighing of deeds, where the one whose scales are heavy with good lives in a pleasant life, and the one whose scales are light meets a different end.
