الزلزلة
8 verses · madinah
إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا 1
When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake
وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا 2
And the earth discharges its burdens1
وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا لَهَا 3
And man says,1 "What is [wrong] with it?" -
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا 4
That Day, it will report its news
بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا 5
Because your Lord has inspired [i.e., commanded] it.
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ 6
That Day, the people will depart1 separated [into categories] to be shown [the result of] their deeds.
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُۥ 7
So whoever does an atom's weight1 of good will see it,
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُۥ 8
And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.
