Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Alama Imad ud Din Ibn Kathir
Tafsir ibn Kathir, is a classic Sunni Islam Tafsir (commentary of the Qur'an) by Imad ud
Din Ibn Kathir. It is considered to be a summary of the earlier Tafsir al-Tabari. It is
popular because it uses Hadith to explain each verse and chapter of the Qur'an…
Surah Qariah
(The Striking Hour)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
1.
Al-Qari`ah.
2.
 
What is Al-Qari`ah?
3.
     
And what will make you know what Al-Qari`ah is?
4.
ʅ      ʏ
It is a Day whereon mankind will be like moths scattered about.
5.
  ʅ   
And the mountains will be like wool, carded.
2
6.
     
Then as for him whose Balance will be heavy,
7.
  ʋ   
He will live a pleasant life.
8.
     
But as for him whose Balance will be light,
9.
 
His mother will be Hawiyah.
10.
     
And what will make you know what it is?
11.
 
A fire Hamiyah!
Allah says:
١
 ٢
Al-Qari`ah.
What is Al-Qari`ah?
Al-Qari`ah is one of the names of the Day of Judgement, like Al-
Haqqah, At-Tammah, As-Sakhkhah, Al-Ghashiyah and other
names.
Then Allah intensifies concern and fright for it by saying,
     ٣
And what will make you know what Al-Qariah is?
3
Then He explains this by saying,
  ʅ     ʏ٤
It is a Day whereon mankind will be like moths scattered about.
meaning, in their scattering, their dividing, their coming and their going, all
due to being bewildered at what is happening to them, they will be like
scattered moths.
This is like Allah's statement,
      ʅ
As if they were locusts spread abroad. (54:7)
Allah said,
ʅ    ٥
And the mountains will be like wool, carded.
meaning, they will become like carded wool that has began to wear out (fade
away) and be torn apart.
Mujahid, Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ata' Al-Khurasani,
Ad-Dahhak and As-Suddi have all said, ʅ (like wool (`Ihn). "Woolen.''
Then Allah informs about the results received by those who performed the deeds,
and the honor and disgrace they will experience based upon their deeds. He says,
     ٦
Then as for him whose Balance will be heavy.
meaning, his good deeds are more than his bad deeds.
  ʋ   ٧
He will live a pleasant life.
meaning, in Paradise.
     ٨
But as for him whose Balance will be light.
meaning, his bad deeds are more than his good deeds.
Then Allah says,
4
 ٩
His mother will be Hawiyah.
It has been said that this means he will be falling and tumbling
headfirst into the fire of Hell, and the expression `his mother' has
been used to refer to his brain (as it is the mother of his head).
A statement similar to this has been reported from Ibn Abbas, Ikrimah, Abu
Salih and Qatadah.
Qatadah said,
"He will fall into the Hellfire on his head.''
Abu Salih made a similar statement when he said,
"They will fall into the Fire on their heads.''
It has also been said that it means his mother that he will return to and end
up with in the Hereafter will be Hawiyah, which is one of the names of the
Hellfire.
Ibn Jarir said,
"Al-Hawiyah is only called his mother because he will have no other
abode except for it.''
Ibn Zayd said,
"Al-Hawiyah is the Fire, and it will be his mother and his abode to
which he will return, and where he will be settled.''
Then he recited the Ayah, (Their abode will be the Fire.)
(3:151)
Ibn Abi Hatim said that it has been narrated from Qatadah that he said,
"It is the Fire, and it is their abode.''
Thus, Allah says in explaining the meaning of Al-Hawiyah,
    ١٠
And what will make you know what it is.
Allah's statement:
 ١١
A fire Hamiyah!
meaning, extreme heat. It is a heat that is accompanied by a strong flame
and fire.
It is narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said,
5
                     
The fire of the Children of Adam that you all kindle is one part of the
seventy parts of the fire of Hell.
They (the Companions) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Isn't it sufficient''
He replied,
    ʐ   ʋ   
It is more than it by sixty-nine times.
This has been recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. In some of the wordings he
stated,
  ʐ   ʋ          ʅ
It is more than it by sixty-nine times, each of them is like the heat of
it.
It has been narrated in a Hadith that Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu
Hurayrah that the Prophet said,
ʋ                  
Verily, the person who will receive the lightest torment of the people of
the Hellfire will be a man who will have two sandals that will cause his
brain to boil.'
It has been confirmed in the Two Sahihs that the Messenger of Allah said,
       º
      ʅ    
   º
           
                        
The Hellfire complained to its Lord and said,
"O Lord! Some parts of me devour other parts of me.''
So He (Allah) permitted it to take two breaths:
- one breath in the winter and
- one breath in the summer.
Thus, the most severe cold that you experience in the winter is from
its cold, and the most severe heat that you experience in the summer
is from its heat.
6
In the Two Sahihs it is recorded that he said,
                    
When the heat becomes intense pray the prayer when it cools down, for
indeed the intense heat is from the breath of Hell.
This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Al-Qari`ah, and all praise and thanks are due
to Allah.

  • 1. Tafsir Ibn Kathir Alama Imad ud Din Ibn Kathir Tafsir ibn Kathir, is a classic Sunni Islam Tafsir (commentary of the Qur'an) by Imad ud Din Ibn Kathir. It is considered to be a summary of the earlier Tafsir al-Tabari. It is popular because it uses Hadith to explain each verse and chapter of the Qur'an… Surah Qariah (The Striking Hour) In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 1. Al-Qari`ah. 2.   What is Al-Qari`ah? 3.       And what will make you know what Al-Qari`ah is? 4. ʅ      ʏ It is a Day whereon mankind will be like moths scattered about. 5.   ʅ    And the mountains will be like wool, carded.
  • 2. 2 6.       Then as for him whose Balance will be heavy, 7.   ʋ    He will live a pleasant life. 8.       But as for him whose Balance will be light, 9.   His mother will be Hawiyah. 10.       And what will make you know what it is? 11.   A fire Hamiyah! Allah says: ١  ٢ Al-Qari`ah. What is Al-Qari`ah? Al-Qari`ah is one of the names of the Day of Judgement, like Al- Haqqah, At-Tammah, As-Sakhkhah, Al-Ghashiyah and other names. Then Allah intensifies concern and fright for it by saying,      ٣ And what will make you know what Al-Qariah is?
  • 3. 3 Then He explains this by saying,   ʅ     ʏ٤ It is a Day whereon mankind will be like moths scattered about. meaning, in their scattering, their dividing, their coming and their going, all due to being bewildered at what is happening to them, they will be like scattered moths. This is like Allah's statement,       ʅ As if they were locusts spread abroad. (54:7) Allah said, ʅ    ٥ And the mountains will be like wool, carded. meaning, they will become like carded wool that has began to wear out (fade away) and be torn apart. Mujahid, Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ata' Al-Khurasani, Ad-Dahhak and As-Suddi have all said, ʅ (like wool (`Ihn). "Woolen.'' Then Allah informs about the results received by those who performed the deeds, and the honor and disgrace they will experience based upon their deeds. He says,      ٦ Then as for him whose Balance will be heavy. meaning, his good deeds are more than his bad deeds.   ʋ   ٧ He will live a pleasant life. meaning, in Paradise.      ٨ But as for him whose Balance will be light. meaning, his bad deeds are more than his good deeds. Then Allah says,
  • 4. 4  ٩ His mother will be Hawiyah. It has been said that this means he will be falling and tumbling headfirst into the fire of Hell, and the expression `his mother' has been used to refer to his brain (as it is the mother of his head). A statement similar to this has been reported from Ibn Abbas, Ikrimah, Abu Salih and Qatadah. Qatadah said, "He will fall into the Hellfire on his head.'' Abu Salih made a similar statement when he said, "They will fall into the Fire on their heads.'' It has also been said that it means his mother that he will return to and end up with in the Hereafter will be Hawiyah, which is one of the names of the Hellfire. Ibn Jarir said, "Al-Hawiyah is only called his mother because he will have no other abode except for it.'' Ibn Zayd said, "Al-Hawiyah is the Fire, and it will be his mother and his abode to which he will return, and where he will be settled.'' Then he recited the Ayah, (Their abode will be the Fire.) (3:151) Ibn Abi Hatim said that it has been narrated from Qatadah that he said, "It is the Fire, and it is their abode.'' Thus, Allah says in explaining the meaning of Al-Hawiyah,     ١٠ And what will make you know what it is. Allah's statement:  ١١ A fire Hamiyah! meaning, extreme heat. It is a heat that is accompanied by a strong flame and fire. It is narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said,
  • 5. 5                       The fire of the Children of Adam that you all kindle is one part of the seventy parts of the fire of Hell. They (the Companions) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Isn't it sufficient'' He replied,     ʐ   ʋ    It is more than it by sixty-nine times. This has been recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. In some of the wordings he stated,   ʐ   ʋ          ʅ It is more than it by sixty-nine times, each of them is like the heat of it. It has been narrated in a Hadith that Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said, ʋ                   Verily, the person who will receive the lightest torment of the people of the Hellfire will be a man who will have two sandals that will cause his brain to boil.' It has been confirmed in the Two Sahihs that the Messenger of Allah said,        º       ʅ        º                                      The Hellfire complained to its Lord and said, "O Lord! Some parts of me devour other parts of me.'' So He (Allah) permitted it to take two breaths: - one breath in the winter and - one breath in the summer. Thus, the most severe cold that you experience in the winter is from its cold, and the most severe heat that you experience in the summer is from its heat.
  • 6. 6 In the Two Sahihs it is recorded that he said,                      When the heat becomes intense pray the prayer when it cools down, for indeed the intense heat is from the breath of Hell. This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Al-Qari`ah, and all praise and thanks are due to Allah. ********* © Copy Rights: Zahid Javed Rana, Abid Javed Rana Lahore, Pakistan www.quran4u.com
