Surah Qari`ah - Highlights

There is a four part series to the Day of Judgment: 
Handed the Book, shown the contents of the Book - what you did, it is going to weighed and evaluated, then you will be judged. 

الْقَارِعَةُ
A disturbing loud sound from a crash. A tough tough situation that has disturbed you and taken your sleep away. 
To be knocked and beaten around that is so nasty it creates a loud sound. It is disturbing. 
When you insult and humiliate someone in public
To knock on the door in the middle of the night. People were not expecting it, you wake up abruptly, its a shock, you are scared. 
The rattling destructive noise
The word is repeated three times, it shows the intensity and repetition of this calamity and noise. 
It is like saying FIRE FIRE FIRE - so the listener goes like, where? what? what do we do? Then Allah says وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ you are not going to find out until I tell you. It is not something you are used to. Not like any other rattler. You do not have a clue what it is, it pales all the other calamities. Only I can inform you. 
This is one of the descriptions of the Day of Judgment.

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ
النَّاسُ - plural of Insaan 
كَالْفَرَاشِ- Bugs/moths. that try to hit the light when you turn it on.  Sscattered and going every which way. There is chaos, they are even running into each other. When the rattling sound happens, you will be so shocked and wrecked, this is what will happen to you. The same when people will come out of their graves, they will be so frieghtened. 

وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ
عِهْنِ - wool 
na faa saa - to make into fine fiber by scraping and then intertwined. Fiber that is weightless. 

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ
evil deeds will have no weight, only good deeds will hold any value. AND Allah will make their deeds worthless by giving them no weight. 

فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
A life full of pleasure and contentment. Not a moment will go by that joy will be mising. 

فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ
هَاوِيَةٌ - When a bird dives down, its falls faster than falling. It shoots down like an arrow with speeds. canyon in hellfire, its depth is only known by Allah. 
idiom - you look like your mother fell off a cliff. 
Hellfire will be his mother. It will hug him, smother him and not let go. it would like being stuck in its womb and not able to come out. engulfed by the fire. 

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ
حَامِيَةٌ - sun's intensity is called himmaa also
