The Earthquake

الزلزلة

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا

When Earth is shaken with her (final) earthquake

2

وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا

And Earth yieldeth up her burdens,

3

وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا

And man saith: What aileth her?

4

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا

That day she will relate her chronicles,

5

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا

Because thy Lord inspireth her.

6

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ

That day mankind will issue forth in scattered groups to be shown their deeds.

7

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُۥ

And whoso doeth good an atom's weight will see it then,

8

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُۥ

And whoso doeth ill an atom's weight will see it then.
