The Earthquake
الزلزلة
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا ١
When the earth is shaken ˹in˺ its ultimate quaking
وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا ٢
and when the earth throws out ˹all˺ its contents
وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا لَهَا ٣
and humanity cries, “What is wrong with it?”—
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا ٤
on that Day the earth will recount everything
بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا ٥
having been inspired by your Lord ˹to do so˺
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْاْ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ ٦
On that Day people will proceed in separate groups to be shown ˹the consequences of˺ their deeds
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُۥ ٧
So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُۥ ٨
And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it
