Surah 101: Al Qari’a Explanation

| আমরা সবসময় মনে রাখি | We Always Remember |​

  • যখন একজন মানুষ মারা যায়, তার সব কাজ শেষ হয়ে যায় , তিনটি ব্যতিক্রম ছাড়া: সদকা জারিয়া (চলমান দান) , এমন জ্ঞান যা থেকে উপকার পাওয়া যায়, এবং একটি সৎ সন্তান যে তার জন্য দোয়া করে । | মুহাম্মদ (সাঃ) ; হাদিস - সহিহ মুসলিম | When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him. | Prophet Mohammed (PBUH); Hadith - Sahih Muslim |

  • যে ব্যক্তি ভাল কাজের জন্য সুপারিশ করবে, তার জন্য তাতে (সাওয়াবের) অংশ আছে এবং যে মন্দ কাজের জন্য সুপারিশ করবে, তার জন্য তাতে অংশ আছে । আর আল্লাহ সব কিছুর উপর নজর রাখেন । | সূরাঃ ৪ , আন-নিসা , আয়াতঃ : ৮৫ | Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a reward therefrom; and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a burden therefrom. And ever is Allah, over all things, a Keeper. | Surah 4 , An-Nisa , Verse: 85 |

Surah 101: Al Qari’a (The Striking Calamity / The Great Disaster.): Makkah

What Allah Says in this Surah​

  • In the Surah, Allah describes the Striking Calamity, a term for the Day of Judgment. He poses a rhetorical question to emphasize the severity and significance of this event: "What is the Striking Calamity?" and "What can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?"
  • Allah explains that on this day, people will be like scattered moths, illustrating the widespread chaos and confusion. The mountains, usually symbols of stability, will be like fluffed-up wool, showing the complete disintegration of the natural world.
  • Then, Allah discusses the fate of individuals based on their deeds. Those whose scales are heavy with good deeds will enjoy a pleasant life in paradise. Conversely, those whose scales are light will find their refuge in an abyss. To emphasize the horror of this fate, Allah again uses a rhetorical question: "And what can make you know what that is?" He answers that it is a Fire, intensely hot, highlighting the severe punishment for those lacking good deeds.

Dua​

Oh Allah, help us to do good deeds and live rightly so that our good deeds are heavy on the Day of Judgment. Give us a life of comfort with Your mercy and guide us to live righteously. Ameen.

Oh Allah, protect us from having light scales and guide us to do good deeds that will bring us Your mercy and protection from the Fire. Save us from the torment of the Fire and grant us a pleasant life in paradise. Ameen.
