(Ayah 3,2) {مَا الْقَارِعَةُ (2) وَ مَاۤ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ:} That is, what is {’’ اَلْقَارِعَةُ ‘‘}? How strange and how terrifying is it? What has made you know what the "Qari'ah" is? That is, it is so magnificent and so astonishing that none among the creation knows its intensity and greatness to inform you. Yes, Allah Almighty knows everything, so He Himself, by His grace, described some of its state in the next verse.
