“From the timeless words of the Qur’an: a vision of the Day of Resurrection, when mountains crumble and every soul meets the weight of its deeds.”

Surah Al-Qāriʿah – The Striking Calamity

Surah Al-Qāriʿah (Chapter 101 of the Qur’an) describes the powerful events of the Day of Resurrection. It vividly portrays humanity scattered like moths in confusion while mountains crumble like wool. The Surah reminds believers that all deeds will be weighed on the Day of Judgment—those whose good deeds are heavy will enter bliss, while those whose deeds are light will face severe accountability.
