Al Qaria'h (The Day Of Noise And Clamour)

Al Qadr to Al Qari'ah: The Hidden Timeline of Divine Judgment

In the lexicon of Islamic eschatology, Al Qari'ah stands as a chilling symbol of reckoning—a day marked by chaos, upheaval, and divine judgment. Often translated as "The Striking Calamity" or "The Day of Noise and Clamour," it evokes imagery of a world shaken to its core, where illusions are shattered and truth stands bare.

But what if Al Qari'ah is not a distant prophecy, but a present reality?

This article challenges conventional interpretations and calls attention to the spiritual awakening unfolding in our time. The ongoing Al-Qiyamah—the Resurrection—is not merely a future event but a metaphysical shift already in motion. The Night of Power (Al Qadr) has passed, and the Dawn of Doomsday begins not with fire and brimstone, but with the collapse of false authority.

Followers of religious hierarchies—sheikhs, imams, ayatollahs, caliphs, and scholars—are urged to reconsider their allegiance. The warning is clear: these figures, revered as guides, may in fact be Thieves of Truth, gatekeepers of dogma who obscure the living reality of divine presence.

Al Qari'ah is not just noise—it is the sound of awakening. It is the thunderclap that breaks the silence of spiritual slumber. And in its echo, there is a call: to seek truth beyond tradition, to find peace in the storm, and to recognize that the Day of Clamour has already begun.

Let those who hear, understand. Let those who understand, act. For the time is now.

Al Qari'h (The Day Of Noise And Clamour)

The (Day) of Noise and Clamour: [6251]
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
And what will explain to thee, what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
It is a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about, [6252]
And the mountains will like carded wool. [6253]
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
Will be in a Life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light - Will have his home in a (bottomless ) Pit.
And what will explain to thee what this is? (It is) a Fire blazing fiercely!

surah 101:1-11 Al Qari'h (The Great Calamity)
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n, Amana Corporation, 1989.

"6251. The Day of Noise and Clamour is the Day of Judgement, when the whole of the present order of things will be overthrown with a tremendous convulsion. Cf. n. 6235 to 99:1, and n. 6096 to 88. All our present landmarks will be lost. It will be a stunning experience to begin with, but it will inaugurate a new world of true and permanent values in which every human deed will have its true and just consequences, as if weighed in a balance.
6352. Moths are frail light things. To see them scattered about in a violent storm gives some idea of the confusion, distress, and helplessness in which men will be at first overwhelmed on the Day of Account . .
6353. Cf. n. 5682 to 70:9. The mountains are solid things, which seem as if nothing could move them. But in that tremendous cataclysm they will be scattered about like flakes of teased or carded wool.”

Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n, Amana Corporation, 1989.


The Calamity! What is the Calamity?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths,
And mountains will become as carded wool.
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
He will live a pleasant life.
But as for him whose scales are light,
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! - Raging Fire.

surah 101:1-11 Al Qari'h
(Mohammed Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Quran, U. of Michigan.)


The terrible calamity! What is the terrible calamity!
And what will make you comprehend what the terrible calamity is?
The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
He shall live a pleasant life.
And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
His abode shall be the abyss.
And what will make you know what it is? A burning fire.

surah 101:1-11 Al Qari'h
(Muhammed Shakir, The Holy Qur'n, University of Michigan.)

Again we have to repeat that the lies are clear to some just as they are oblivious to the majority. The Message to commence the Resurrection is being issued to all with an explicit warning that a great calamity is about to befall humankind:

12. For what Day are these (Portents) deferred?
13. For the Day of Sorting out.
14. And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?
15. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!

surah 77:12-15 Al Mursalat (Those Sent Forth)
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n, Amana Corporation, 1989.

"portent 1. to be an omen or warning of; foreshadow; presage
2. to be an indication of; signify n 1 something that portends an event about to occur, esp. an unfortunate event; omen"
"defer to put off to a future time; postpone; delay"

Webster New World Dictionary, Third College Ed., Simon & Schuster, 1988.

"DEFER, POSTPONE, SUSPEND, STAY mean to delay an action or proceeding. DEFER implies a deliberate putting off to a later time.”

Laylatul Qadr and the Resurrection

The Qur’anic narrative presents two profoundly distinct phases: one that precedes and cautions against the other. Laylatul Qadr—the Night of Power and Destiny—serves as a divine warning and spiritual precursor to Al-Qariah, the Day of Noise and Clamour. Yet, despite its significance, over a billion Muslims remain unaware of the unfolding Resurrection foretold in Al-Rum, “The Day You Were Not Aware.”

This spiritual blindness tragically aligns with Satan’s ancient vow to mislead humanity—and by all appearances, he has succeeded with alarming precision. Millions reject the notion that Allah, in His boundless Mercy, has sent messengers to announce Laylatul Qadr as a reprieve—a sacred moment that delays the catastrophic signs of the final reckoning, the Day of Sorting Out. This denial is not merely theological negligence; it is a perilous dismissal of divine intervention. Let this stand as a solemn warning to those who disbelieve.

A Universal Celebration

Laylatul Qadr is not a parochial celebration exclusive to Muslims—it is a universal commemoration of the final guidance bestowed upon all of humanity. It marks the beginning of a divine message that offers the path to joy, fulfillment, and spiritual elevation in both this life and the next.

Unlike worldly celebrations that indulge the senses, Laylatul Qadr invites a feast for the soul—through worship, prayer, and deep meditation on the Divine Spirit within. It is a call to awakening for all sincere seekers, regardless of race, religion, or creed.

Qiyamah vs. Judgment Day

A critical theological distinction also emerges between Qiyamah (Resurrection) and the Day of Judgment: the absence of trumpet blasts in Surah Al-Qiyamah. This chapter, uniquely dedicated to Resurrection, makes no mention of the trumpets that elsewhere herald the terrifying arrival of Judgment Day.

In contrast, verses describing the latter are replete with the sound of trumpets—signals that strike fear into the hearts of disbelievers (Al-Kafirun) who ignored the divine summons of Qiyamah. This silence is not incidental; it demands reflection.

"6:73; the Trumpet will be blown...
20:102; the Day when the Trumpet will be sounded...
23:101; then when the Trumpet is blown...
36:51; the Trumpet shall be sounded...
36:53; it will be no more than a single Blast...
39:68; the Trumpet will be sounded ... then will a second one be sounded...
69:13; then when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet...
74:8; finally when the Trumpet is sounded...
78:18; the Day the Trumpet will be sounded. Trumpet; Day of Allah.”

Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n, Amana Corporation, 1989.

Why is Qiyamah (Resurrection) not even mentioned once in all the following surahs concerning Judgment Day (The End) i.e., Al Qariah (Day of Noise and Clamour)?

"3:185; full recompense only then...
18:47; earth changed, and men fathered; Book of Deeds...
18:99-101; men surge like waves; trumpets blown; Unbelievers will see and hear...
19:37-39; sectarian differences to be solved; distress for lack of Faith...
20:100-101; rejecters of the message will bear a grievous burden...
20:102-104; Trumpet will sound; sinful in terror; interval will seem short...
20:108; they will follow the Caller; trump of their feet; all sounds humbled...
20:109; no intercession except by permission...
20:112; no fear for the righteous...
20:124-127; rejecters will be raised up blind...
21:47; scales of justice...
21:97-103; true promise will approach fulfillment; sobs of the Unbelievers the Good will suffer no grief... 21:104; heavens will be rolled up like a scroll; new creation...
21:1-2; terrible convulsion; men in drunken riot; Wrath of Allah...
22:2 every mother shall forget her suckling babe; every pregnant female shall drop her load unformed...
23:101-104; Trumpet is blown; balance of good deeds, heavy or light...
23:105-111; Voice of Judgement; faces humiliated and faces joyful...
89:21-30; earth pounded to powder; Lord cometh; hell and heaven shown...
99:1-8; earth in convulsion; man in distress; sorted out...
100:9-11; contents of graves scattered abroad...
101:1-11; noise and clamor; Good and Evil rewarded.”

Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n, Amana Corporation, 1989.)

These Are the Days of Resurrection

But Ye - Ye Were Not Aware!
On the Day that the Hour (of Reckoning) will be established,
The transgressors will swear that they tarried not but an hour:
Thus were they used to being deluded!
But those endued with knowledge and faith will say:
"Indeed ye did tarry, within Allah's Decree, to the Day of Resurrection,
And this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!"
So on that Day no excuse of theirs will avail the transgressors,
Nor will they be invited (then) to seek grace (by repentance.)
Verily We have propounded for men in this Qur'n every kind of Parable:
But if thou bring to them any Sign, the Unbelievers are sure to say," Ye do nothing but talk vanities.”
Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who understand not.
So patiently persevere: for verily the promise of Allah is true:
Nor let those shake thy firmness, who have (themselves) no certainty of faith.

surah 30:55-60 Al Rum (The Romans)
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n, Amana Corporation, 1989.

Be forewarned, followers of sheikhs, imams, ayatollahs, amirs, caliphs, ulama, mu'ttilah, aalims, mujtahids, mullahs and muftis, be forewarned! These Thieves of Truth have deceived you. Again we say to you - be forewarned!

So Peace during the present, ongoing Al-Qiyamah (Al Qadr, the Night of Power and Fate) until the Dawn of Doomsday (Al Qariah the Day of Noise and Clamour)!

LAA UQSIM BI-YAWM AL-QIYAMAH;
WA-LAA UQSIM BI-AN-NAFSAL-LAWWAAMAH
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit.

Concerning what are they disputing?
Concerning the Great News. [5889]
About which they cannot agree.
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!

surah 78:1-5 Al Naba' (The Great News)

"5889. Great News: usually understood to mean the News or Message of the Resurrection.”

Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n, Amana Corporation, 1989.
