Qur'an 101:4 Al-Qari'ah

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ

It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,

Saheeh International

What it says

The answer is a picture, not a definition. Farash are the small insects that pour toward a lamp at night, all of them moving, none of them going anywhere on purpose. Everybody is in motion and nobody is steering.

Word by word

يَوْمَ yawma a day when · يَكُونُ yakūnu will be · ٱلنَّاسُ an-nāsu the people · كَٱلْفَرَاشِ kal-farāshi like moths · ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ al-mabthūth scattered about
