Fate of the Righteous and the Wicked
1. The Striking Disaster! 2. What is the Striking Disaster? 3. And what will make you realize what the Striking Disaster is? 4. (It is) the Day people will be like scattered moths, 5. and the mountains will be like carded wool. 6. So as for those whose scale is heavy (with good deeds), 7. they will be in a life of bliss. 8. And as for those whose scale is light, 9. their home will be the abyss. 10. And what will make you realize what that is? 11. (It is) a scorching Fire.
