Transliteration:( Mal qaariah )
(1). It means the Day of Judgement when the hearts of all the human beings would be jolted due to its dread and terrors. One name of Judgement Day is "Frightening Calamity." It should be remembered that the Prophets and Saints would be protected from the grief of Judgement Day. Says Allah Almighty: "The Great Terror shall not grieve them"(S21: V103). But common as well as the specific people will experience this dread and terror. It is in this terror that people would be forgetting the beloved intercessor and go to the threshold of other Noble Prophets. In fact, even the Prophets themselves would not be able to give the whereabouts of the Holy Prophet yet everyone knew in the world that the blessed Prophet of Allah ﷺ is the intercessor of sinners. This is the meaning of the Frightening Calamity.
