In sūrah al-Qāri’ah, mankind is compared to

In Surah Al-Qariah, mankind is compared to "scattered moths". The verse describes the Day of Judgment, when people will face the consequences of their actions in this life. The scattered moths in this verse represent the scattered and disoriented state of human beings on that day, who will be like moths flying aimlessly in all directions. Just as moths are attracted to light but are easily scattered and confused by it, humans are also attracted to various things in life but can easily lose their way and become disoriented. The comparison of human beings to scattered moths serves as a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of this life and the importance of living with purpose and intention. The verse also emphasizes the need for humility and surrender to Allah's will on the Day of Judgment.
