Al-Qāri`ah, ya'ni Zarbdor, qiyomatni bildiradi. Qur'onning boshqa joylarida u Ko'mib yuboruvchi, Dahshatli qichqiriq, Zarbali dahshat va Qamrab oluvchi kabi nomlar bilan ataladi. Al-Qāri`ah so'zi qattiq urish va taqillatishni ham anglatadi. U kishilarning qalbini o'zini qamrab oluvchi dahshati bilan taqillatadi.

Al-Qāri`ah, or the Striker, means the resurrection. Elsewhere in the Qur’ān it is given names such as the Overwhelming One, the Deafening Shout, the Stunning Blast and the Enveloper. The term al-Qāri`ah also connotes hitting and knocking hard. It knocks people’s hearts with its engulfing horror.

Sūra butunligicha Qoriya (Zarba beruvchi) haqida, uning mohiyati, unda yuz beradigan voqealar va oxir-oqibatda unga olib keladigan narsalar haqida bo‘lib, shu bilan birga Qiyamat kunidagi manzaralardan birini tasvirlaydi.

The sūrah as a whole deals with the Striker, its essence, what takes place in it and what it eventually leads to. Thus the sūrah portrays one of the scenes of the Day of Resurrection.

Bu manzarada insonlar ham, tog'lar ham dahshat ta'siriga tushgan. Bu sahnada odamlar ko'p bo'lishiga qaramay, mitti ko'rinadi. Chunki ular tarqalgan kapalaklarga o'xshaydi. Ular kuchsiz va vaznsiz holda u yoqdan bu yoqqa uchadi, maqsadsiz va yo'nalishsiz halokatga shoshilayotgan kuyalarning ahvoliga tushgan.

The scene portrayed here is one of horror directly affecting man and mountains. In this scene people look dwarfish in spite of their great number. For they are like scattered moths. They fly here and there having no power or weight, going through the dilemma of moths which rush to destruction, having no aim or purpose.

Boshqa tomondan, mustahkam va qattiq o'rnashgan tog'lar ham xuddi shamol, hatto yengil shabada olib ketadigan, taralgan jundek tuyuladi. Shunga mos ravishda Qiyomat Kuni urib, zarb beradigan kun sifatida tasvirlanadi. Ishlatilgan ma'nolar va ohang urib beruvchining ta'siri ostidagi odamlar va tog'lar bilan uyg'undir. Sura hisob-kitobning natijasi haqida hayrat va kutish ruhini yoyadi.

On the other hand, the mountains, which used to be firm and solidly based, seem to be like carded wool carried away by winds, and even by a light breeze. Thus, it is in harmony with this image that the Day of Resurrection is described as the one that strikes or knocks out. The connotations used and the rhythm are in consonance with the effects of the Striker on both people and mountains. The sūrah spreads an air of awe and expectation about the outcome of reckoning.

"Qoriya! Qoriya nima? Qoriya nima ekanini bilsang edi!" (1-3-oyatlar)

“The Striker! What is the Striker! Would that you knew what the Striker is!” (Verses 1-3)

Ushbu surа "al-Qori'a" so'zi bilan boshlanadi, ingliz tilida "the Striker" deb tarjima qilinadi. U hech qanday qo'shimcha ma'lumot, ega yoki sifatsiz, o'q kabi otilgandek keladi. Shu tariqa u o'zining tovushi va ma'nolari orqali hayratlanish va xavotir muhitini yaratadi.

This sūrah starts with the single word, al-Qāri`ah, rendered in English as the Striker. It is thrown like a shot, without any further information, predicate or adjective. As such it creates through its sound and connotations an ambiance of awe and apprehension.

U bu so'zdan keyin darhol dahshatli bir savol keladi, u xavotir uyg'otadi: "Qori nima?" (2-oyat). Bu qo'rqinchli va dahshatli narsa bo'lib, qiziqish va so'roqlarni uyg'otadi. Keyin javob hayratli, sirli bir undov shaklida keladi: "Qori nima ekanini bilsang edi!" U shunchalik buyukki, uni anglab yoki tasavvur qilib bo'lmaydi. So'ngra uning ichida nima sodir bo'lishini bayon qiladi, ammo aniq mohiyatini aytishdan tiyiladi: "O'sha kun odamlar tarqalgan kapalaklardek bo'lib, tog'lar esa cho'tkalangan junday bo'lib qoladi." (4-5-oyatlar)

The word is immediately followed by a question suggesting alarm: “What is the Striker?” (Verse 2) It is that dreadful and formidable thing which arouses curiosity and questioning. Then comes the answer in the form of a cryptic exclamation: “Would that you knew what the Striker is!’ It is too great to be comprehended or imagined. Then follows the answer which states what takes place in it but refrains from stating its exact nature: “The day when people will be scattered moths, and the mountains like tufts of carded wool.” (Verses 4-5)

Bu "Qori" surasining birinchi sahnasi bo‘lib, qalblarda vahima uyg‘otadi va a’zolarni qo‘rquvdan titratadi. Tinglovchi o‘zi bu dunyoda mahkam ushlagan hamma narsa atrofida chang kabi uchib yurganini his qiladi. So‘ng barcha insoniyatning oxiri keladi. “Kimning tarozusi (yaxshi amallari bilan) og‘ir kelsa, u rohat-farovon hayot kechiradi. Kimning tarozusi yengil kelsa, uning joyi Hoviya bo‘ladi. Sen nima ekanini bilarmiding? U qizdiruvchi olovdir.” (6-11-oyatlar)

This is the first scene of the Striker, a scene that leaves people’s hearts in panic and makes limbs tremble with fear. The listener feels that everything he clings to in this world is flying all around him like dust. Then comes the end of all mankind. “Then he whose weight [of good deeds] is heavy in the balance, shall enjoy a happy life. But he whose weight is light in the balance, shall have the abyss for his home. Would that you knew what this is like! It is a scorching fire.” (Verses 6-11)
