What will happen on a day of the Shocker
- The Shocker (101:1). What is the Shocker (101:2)? What have you made know what is the Shocker (101:3)? A day the people would be the scattered like the butterfly (101:4). The mountains would be like the fluffy wool (101:5).
Note: God has defined the Shocker, an event of a day when the people will be scattered like the butterfly and the mountains will be like the fluffy wool.
Compensation based on weight
- Then as for whoever his scales are heavy (101:6). Then he will be in a pleasant life (101:7). And as for whoever his scales are light (101:8). Then his abode is lowest (101:9). And what has made you know what it is (101:10)? A blazing Fire (101:11).
Note: Judgment will take place followed by the Shocker. Whose weight is heavy will be in a pleasant life but whose weight is light will be in a miserable life.
Surah al-Qaari`ah (The Shocker) is a short surah consisting of 11 verses, which is very straightforward to reflect that a terrible day is approaching for those who have failed to contribute to their souls through appropriate belief and proper practice, while there is a hint in the surah that we all will be returning to our Lord for our final compensation followed by the end of the world, and our compensation will be either a pleasant life or a miserable life in the eternal life being determined based on quantitative analysis of our contribution to our souls.
Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless.
