The Overwhelming Calamity
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ٣٤
But when the great disaster cometh.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Then when the greatest overwhelming calamity comes.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “at-tammah” as an irresistible, overwhelming calamity; “at-tammah al-kubra” is one of the names of the Hour.
Reflect
Do a small good deed today so as not to be ashamed on the great day.
