> THE CHAPTER OF THE SMITING
> (CI. Mecca.)
> IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God.
> The smiting!
> What is the smiting?
> And what shall make thee know what the smiting is? The day when men shall be like scattered moths; and the mountains shall be like flocks of carded wool!
> And as for him whose balance is heavy, he shall be in a well-pleasing life.
> But as for him whose balance is light, his dwelling shall be the pit of hell.
> And who shall make thee know what it is?- a burning fire!
>
