Introduction

This Makkan Surah describes the Judgement Day as the Day of Clamour, when men will be distracted and the landmarks of this world will be lost, but every deed will be weighed in a just balance, and find its real value and setting.

Commentary

"How will the senses of man stand the Noise
And Clamour of the great Day of Account,
Whereon this life's old landmarks will vanish,
And men will be helpless like scattered moths?
Nay, but a Balance of Justice will weigh
And appraise all deeds: and those whose good
Will show substance and weight will achieve a life
Of good pleasure and satisfaction, while those
Whose good will be light will find themselves,
Alas, in a blazing Pit of Punishment."
........Abdullah Yusuf Ali [C.281]

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

"The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
And what will explain to thee what the (Day)
Of Noise and Clamour is?
(It is) a Day whereon
Men will be like moths
Scattered about,
And the mountains will be
Like carded wool.
Then, he whose
Balance (of good deeds)
Will be (found) heavy,
Will be in a Life
Of good pleasure and satisfaction.
But he whose
Balance (of good deeds)
Will be (found) light-
Will have his home
In a (bottomless) Pit.
And what will explain
To thee what this is?
(It is) a Fire
Blazing fiercely!"
....Qur'an
