What is the event that terrifies the hearts?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ﴿٣﴾

And what have you understood, what the event that terrifies the hearts is!

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ ﴿٤﴾

The day when men will be like scattered moths.

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ ﴿٥﴾

And mountains will be like flying wool.

And for one whose scales prove light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌۭ ﴿٩﴾

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ ﴿١١﴾

A flaming fire!
