The Earthquake

الزلزلة

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1

إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا ١

When the earth is shaken ˹in˺ its ultimate quaking

2

وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا ٢

and when the earth throws out ˹all˺ its contents

3

وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا لَهَا ٣

and humanity cries, “What is wrong with it?”—

4

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا ٤

on that Day the earth will recount everything

5

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا ٥

having been inspired by your Lord ˹to do so˺

6

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْاْ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ ٦

On that Day people will proceed in separate groups to be shown ˹the consequences of˺ their deeds

7

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُۥ ٧

So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it

8

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُۥ ٨

And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it
